Bean and Pumpkin enjoyed playing with the water pumps again and Pumpkin made me read the information on it.
The bus ride was great and being the only people on it the conductor came and sat with us and told us all about the bus we were riding on. Bean was very keen to tell daddy that it was the bus was the same age as mummy and very old (thanks Bean!) The conductor also let the boys stamp their own ticket. I'm always grateful for others that engage with the smalls.
Bean's choice of activity was to visit the pottery. So after walking around the train shed and exhibition we went to the pottery, stopping at the brick making building as we passed. Bean was keen to make something but had his heart set on a jug and after a few attempts and fails he became a bit disheartened and asked me to do it so we sat together and I made it under instruction. Pumpkin declined to make anything.
We stopped off in the communications building and finally worked out how to use the exchange (mostly thanks to the new and comprehensive instructions) and had lots of fun phoning each other.
After a return bus journey to the entrance we stopped by the print shop, as it had been closed for lunch when we arrived, and for the first time a volunteer recognised Pumpkin's name (the normal response is 'oh that's unusual. We probably don't have that one') and our day ended in much the same way as it had begun- with origami, this time it was a hat.
