If you love animals, it really doesn't get any more exciting than this. Madeleine hadn't seen a dinosaur before, and was hugely excited by the exhibition. The animated full-scale T-Rex excited her as much as it had her big sister. They both clearly thought this was real. Since coming home, Madeleine has been pointing out dinosaurs and bringing me our plastic models. It clearly made a big impression on her!
Madeleine especially enjoyed the bird section - walls covered with every species you could possibly imagine!

| Afterwards we blew the cobwebs away with a long walk in Hyde Park, pausing for lunch at the Lido on the Serpentine. It would be lovely to come back in the summer when we can hire a little boat. This is Madeleine in front of the Duck House! |

| We went back to see Trafalgar Square in the daylight and clamber over the lions like proper tourists, before a quick flick around the National Gallery to play boobies and babies. This is a traditional family game - well Catherine played it anyway... you have to look for things that excite little children. When they are bigger you can include dogs. Early art is great for boob spotting... |

| The Christmas Tree in Covent Garden was definitely the most impressive. Just time to watch some street theatre beneath it, before grabbing a pizza on the piazza before bed. |
