Kew Gardens at Christmas

Mummy has taken Lucy to the Christmas extravagance at Kew Gardens

Snail

Lucy is at one of her favorite places. Climbers and Creepers in Kew Gardens.

She is also employing one of her favorite pastimes, which is chewing her hair. Mummy is not a fan of this pastime as she alleges that it leaves Lucy's hair "tatty".

Lucy appears unconcerned by these allegations. "You seen my Tattoos man? You know you're messing with the Donk?"

"If I wanna chew my hair, I chew my hair."

Yay Man! It's a Staman

Lucy is brushing up on her plant biology.

Super Slide

Lucy loves the slide at Climbers and Creepers in Kew Gardens

Down she goes.

Fantastic!

This time she is going down on her front

What fun!

Venus Fly Trap

Lucy and Panda are learning about Venus Fly Traps at Kew. Lucy is operating the fly lowering mechanism and Panda, with Daddies assistance, is operating the fly trap, attempting to catch the fly.

Panda tries to psych the little fly out

This is intense stuff as Lucy and Panda play cat and mouse, or indeed fly and trap.

The two friends are having a great time.

Mummy takes over assisting Panda

Science can be fun!

Buried

Lucy has decided that she wants to be buried in the sand pit. So she gets Mummy to start covering her up.

Poor old Panda is getting a bit covered as well. Friendship comes at a cost.

Lucy is unimpressed by the amount of sand that Mummy has managed to cover her in.

So she manages to persuade all the other children playing in the sandpit to join in. Everyone has a great time.

Sand Pit

Lucy and her best friend Panda are at Climbers and Creepers in Kew Gardens

They emerge from exploring the Hideaway Home

Then it's a trip to the sand pit to dig for buried fossils

Firstly Lucy buries her little puppy in a mound sand

Then she attempts to shove sand up her jumper

Holly and Lucy

Holly and Lucy are at Climbers & Creepers in Kew Gardens

Shoulder rides all round.

Daddy and Marcus try to ignore the altercation going on above their heads.

Holly and Marcus take a self portrait.

Holly has learned how to subtly maximise her charms and present a sweet innocent face.

Lucy obviously needs a few more modeling lessons since she seems to be channelling both "cheeky" and "monkey"

Marcus always makes her laugh

Holly is making a great start on colouring in the picture

But Lucy think's it needs a bit more Lellow.

Climbers Creepers

Mummy and Lucy are checking out the new outdoor adventure pwaygroud at Climbers and Creepers in Kew Gardens.

There is a great new slide

Weeeeeee

And a great new swing

Mummy and Lucy have a swing together.

Lucy finds out how insects gather pollen to make honey. Or bee poo as Daddy calls it.

And then down other slide. Weeeeee.

Climbers Creepers

Lucy checks on the availability of the snail in Kew Gardens's Climbers Creepers

Yay!

This snail is almost as fast as Mummy's car

Butt or Nut?

Lucy is examining an exhibit at Kew Gardens. At first glance it would appear to be a rhino's butt.

Fortunately it is a nut.

Space Sponk

Ground Control to Major Sponk

Have we nearly reached Mars captain?

Obviously this was really Lucy in Climber creepers in Kew Gardens

Climbers and Creepers

Lucy is totally excited to be in Climbers and Creeper at Kew Gardens with her little friend Holly.

Lucy and Holly have a go at riding the snail. Lucy seems in control but Holly seems distracted.

Lucy gets a go on her own. Ye Harrr. Ride 'em Cow-spork!

With Mummy riding shotgun Lucy is much more restrained.

But then Holly takes over driving the snail and everyone is happy again.
