More action in Lanzarote

Well it's been very exciting here for the last couple of days.

Yesterday it turned much cooler, especially in the afternoon when it was also very windy. Today was hot again but rather cloudy later.

Yesterday we went on a real submarine. I had to sit on a bus for quite a while before, so I wanted to run about and got just a bit grumpy until fish started showing outside. I got rather excited then and was waving at the fish. Daddy was quite interested as we dived to 34 metres then spent a while on the bottom at 29 metres. It got very exciting when a diver showed up outside and a big stingray came to be fed.....it was huge, much bigger than me! I have done some very nice things even though I'm not even 2!

Last night I went to the children's party and got rather overexcited and crazy. I started to take lots of chairs onto the stage and then started stage diving off the steps. Mummy and Daddy had to take control of me after a while so I didn't get hurt, but I just seem to bounce.

Today we went to the Rancho Texas park where I saw lots of animals. I was already super tired from charging about and I was a monkey in the bird of prey show. The lady told everyone to stay seated as huge birds flew low over us but I just wanted to run around and made a dash for a pond on the grass area where no one is allowed to go......Daddy had to do an emergency sprint and grab and then Mummy took me away for some milk.

I saw some huge moos that Daddy said were bison and I mooed at them. I did laugh when one did a big super poopa dooper.

I loved the miniature horses, tortoises, armadillos, tiger and then had a nap, but I woke up to see the seal show. I had a lovely play with Daddy in the pool when we got back and we walked along the prom until I fell asleep. I was super tired.

Here I am waiting to be collected by the bus to go in the submarine

This is me under the water in a submarine!

More from baking Lanzarote

Hello everyone.

We are all still very hot in Lanzarote.

Yesterday Daddy went to the volcanoes in Timanfaya National Park as he didn't think it was hot enough at the hotel! Later we walked to the marina when it was dark.

It was 39 Celsius today but we were brave and walked to the Rubicon Marina so Mummy could visit the market. After that we continued on to Playa Dorado and beyond. It was seriously hot after the market and we got the bus back rather than walk the whole way again.

Here are some photos:

Papayagayo Arena, Lanzarote

Hello all,We had a good flight and a decent journey to get here. I was very good the whole way. I got a bit cross when the captain of the aeroplane told us to put our seatbelts on for landing and I was in the middle of socialising with another munchkin behind, but I soon got distracted by he interesting view from the window.I have been so excited I just run and run, calling out and shouting.We have a nice room with a big, big bed so I can sleep with Mummy and Daddy....yay!I am trying all kinds of food and had a slice of pizza with some other nibbles at lunch today.

Trying to blog is a bit of an exercise in frustration but Daddy has managed to fudge it by using an iPod app that allows him to upload photos direct. He apologises if the size or layout of photos isn't ideal. My Dad does ok with computers and stuff but he comes from a time when there were real machines so he isn't the best!

New Car (again!)

Daddy went all the way up to Derby on Tuesday to get Mummy a new car. Well, it's not totally new but it's the second newest car he has ever bought as its from September 2011 and only had 5452 miles on it before he drove it home. This means I don't have to rely on Daddy to take me to my playgroups, so when he is at work Mummy can take me...yay!

I think Mummy is doing quite well here as she has had 2 nice cars in just over 2 years and Daddy has a car that is nearly 10 years old, which is much older than me! Daddy says she better be careful with this one.

It's very nice and really similar to the last one, except its slightly face lifted and is silver instead of blue. I like the i10. I will miss the old one as I used to travel in it a lot and it brought me home from hospital when I was new.

I took the new i10 for a quick test drive when Daddy got home and blasted the horn when daddy as at the front of the car.  He said his ears were ringing!

Black Belt

My Dad is ok he is, especially for quite an old bloke.

For nearly 4 years he has trained in Tae Kwon-Do and on Sunday 22nd April he did his black belt grading at TAGB headquarters in Bristol.  He has done 10 grading exams now and a lot of pre-gradings to get this far.  On Tuesday he found out he had passed...Yay!  He has now been presented with his 1st Dan belt, training suit and badges.

After wearing in his belt for a couple of weeks it will get sent off to have his name embroidered on it.

When I grow up a bit I want to do Tae Kwon-Do too.

Farmer Palmer's again!

Its been a bit of a few weeks not having a second car, so Daddy has taken me to some of my playgroups before work this week.

He has ordered Mummy another Hyundai i10 to replace our nice little car that got crashed.  I miss Mummy's car.  When I play with a toy car now I sometimes turn it over and say "boof" to show it has crashed!  Daddy should collect it on 1st May.  Its a slightly revised model of the same specification and is silver rather than blue.

Anyway, I was so lucky because I got taken to Farmer Palmer's again today.

All the animals were still there but the piggies have grown up a bit.  Today I had a tractor ride too and it was very bumpy.  I held a guinea pig, fed the goats, petted the piggies, a donkey, a cow and a horse.  I fed some chickens too.  I was a bit confused when a goat with 6 legs and 2 heads went past!  Daddy said it would be even harder to explain that when I was older.

Anyway, here are the photos!

This big turkey was chasing a lady turkey and looked a bit cross with us

This is the huge Daddy piggy of the baby ones.  He has big teeth that stick out

I was a monkey throwing straw about in the straw barn

Playing with Mummy's hair is fun too!

This is what I do when I see an aeroplane

I loved feeding the chickens but they did peck my fingers a bit

Mummy and Daddy had a cup of tea while I raced about on a tractor

I wore the piggies out again and they went to sleep

The pony made me jump when it snorted but I was so curious I had to keep going back
