My mum bought these DVD's for Benjamin and Jasmine for Christmas as part of their present. I didn't think I'd enjoy it as it's not really my kind of movie. But what else are you supposed to do when housebound for 3 days straight on account of snow, and said snow has lost its appeal when you've been soaked and frozen?
What you do is snuggle under a warm duvet on the comfy sofa with your children and watch DVD's with cups of tea/chocolate/mint tea. So I watched Night at the Museum and actually really enjoyed it! I then watched a little of number 2 (but was by now distracted by sleep). The kids however, watched number 2 countless times over the next few days. They were even able to recite parts of the movie randomly during play..... Anyway, the movie has a big plus in it's favour. It makes the museum seem like the most exciting, adventurous place on earth. Now my two love the museum anyway, but as a direct result of watching these DVD's they were desperate to go back to the Natural History Museum in Oxford. It is a great, free, place to go on a sunday afternoon (I have blogged about this place before), especially when you have a visitor staying who has never been before. So off we all went into Oxford....Nick, Me, Ben, Jas, Lucie and Godfrey.
And once again, the museum didn't fail to deliver......
First we made lion masks....
Then we got some backpacks, and went on a hunt around the museum, searching to match specimens from our backpacks to those around the museum, answering questions along the way.....
Other than that, we just had some plain FUN!
