upside down...

So funny - yesterday I mentioned how Michael seemed to want to test out being upside down on everything at the Fruit Park... and today i got to see how the children in Vinden was testing out the very same thing... hanging upside down...

Is it the weather... the sunshine makes you want to test out new things, the warth makes you feel positive and optimistic and more willing to challenge yourself.... or is it the fact that everything becomes so much easier to try when not encumbered with the layers and layers required to keep you warm... because 7 days ago we were wearing hats, mittens fleeces jackets and fleece lined raintrousers... today it was t-shirt weather...

 The snail park, as you can see is turning green - tulips are budding and there are small spring flowers everywhere - and the magnolia trees are just starting to bloom.
And yes - some children wanted their winter layers on... and had to peel them off while we were outside and they slowly cooked!! Tomorrow though it will be colder again... and no doubt the children will be learning about layers again...
