Red!

What a great day! We went on a bug safari at Chester Zoo with Jess French from Cbeebies. It was the first time the children met someone from the telly and it happened to be someone they really love to watch. At some point Chickpea said to her excitedly, "You're on my telly" to which Jess replied, "Really? I'm on my telly too!" A few of the children's other friends were there too and they all had a lot of fun and identified many different bees and other crawlies that were hanging around.

Since the theme of the day was red we were on the lookout for some red minibeasts. Of course we didn't find any until the bug safari was over but during our picnic this gorgeous, shimmery red beetle flew to our table so it was fated, he obviously wanted his photo taken today! Never got his name, though. He just flew off... The butterfly also posed graciously.

Monkey quote when looking at the deer-- There's a daddy deer, there's a mommy deer, there's a Cleo deer, there's a baby deer!

Chickpea quote while driving-- Da da (she's been calling us ma ma and da da for the last few days, I have no idea why), our car is the biggest little car.
