A day in London

The kids and I jumped on the train last week to spend the day in London.

First Stop: Natural History Museum

The boys enjoy a show on Cbeebies called "Andy's Dinosaur Adventures" and it is based in "the National Museum" (which is clearly the Natural History Museum in London). Andy has a time-travelling grandfather clock that allows him to go back in time to see different dinosaurs and prehistoric animals. The boys were insistent on hunting out the magical grandfather clock.... I asked a museum guard where it might be, and he played along with the joke and said oh dear, it had been taken away for repairs that day!  The boys were disappointed!

Moving growling T-Rex in the dinosaur gallery

Maiasaur eggs and nest.

Furry/feathery dinosaurs (cant remember the name...some relation of the velociraptor)

And after that we headed off for the real reason we came to London........

Yes!! CLASSICAL SPECTACULAR at the Royal Albert Hall

 This was our second trip to the Royal Albert Hall, but our first time seeing Classical Spectacular. It's a live classical music show played by the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra, set to a laser light show with fireworks and cannons (we went to the schools' matinee showing, so tickets were only £5! (a fraction of the regular cost)

We had our own second tier box all to ourselves, right in front of the stage!
It was fantastic!

We're definitely going back next year!
