Weekend Fun
Our great Royal Museum here in Edinburgh closed this weekend for a major refurbishment. They held a celebration weekend to mark the closure so we went over to see what was happening yesterday. There were tons of events going on including buskers on giant stilts, clowns and jugglers and face painting. The face painters did a fantastic job as you can see!
We also took in a display of Indian dancing which the children all really enjoyed as well as a pretty cool science show. Benjamin got to be a volunteer and hammer a nail and a wooden peg into some clay and they all got to sit on a bench of around 500 nails... pretty cool stuff! Anyhow, incredibly, I forgot my camera but was thankful for a friend who loaned me her camera to take a few pictures (thanks Colleen).
So here are some pictures of our day at the museum:
Benjamin and Hannah getting their faces done....wait until you see the finished product!
And Alexander and Jacob have their faces done:

One of our favorite activities at the museum is playing all the games like this one where you have to hit the button that lights up and see how many you can hit in 30 seconds
Here is one of the performers as Jacob and Alexander look on and Benjamin gets his face painted
