A holiday?

I thought I'd just do a quick photo catch up of our holiday. We went to Mablethorpe in Lincolnshire a few weeks ago. We had an amazing week but I wouldn't say it was a holiday as most people know it. For us it was more of an extension to our classroom for a week.

 This is the beach at Mablethorpe. Not sure if it gets busier than this but it was just perfect for us!

 Georgiana and MamaSmu. I am so blessed to have such a beautiful little daughter

 George 1 had a fencing lesson at the holiday park. He absolutely loved it.

 One of the best days out we had was at The Lincolnshire Aviation Centre

It was a fascinating, well planned out museum and really got the boys thinking about and feeling what WW2 was like. The Lancaster Bomber in the hangar was extraordinary and we spent a few hours really soaking up the atmosphere. We even met a lady who told us how her hose had been bombed during the war in London and she was thrown clear across the room.

 A real bouncing bomb. I was very excited by this as I loved watching The Dambusters as a child

 I think this picture captures how we all felt about this aircraft

 This is Tattershall Castle aka Hogwarts in our family. I have never been so frightened as I was, watching te boys running up and down the spiral stone staircase inside. We got all the way to the top, then I had to watch as they went to the edge of the battlements to look over! A fascinating place but it added 10 years to my life!

 We met some wonderful home ed LDS friends of ours at The Deep in Hull. We love this family and had a fabulous day with them.

On our way home we were able to stop at Woolsthorpe Manor where Sir Isaac Newton had lived and achieved much of his most well known work. This the THE apple tree in the garden tat he was sitting under when he first realised what gravity is. George 1 has been doing a lot of physics lately so he really enjoyed it here and the little hands on science centre was excellent.
