A Very Quick Easter

Following on from the weekend adventures at Seaton Sands, hubby and I decided to take the rest of the week off and have a quiet week in the house. 

You all knew that was never going to happen! 

Tuesday we went to visit big Sis to help kick start her vegetable garden endeavours. To be honest, I mostly played the Pokemon trading card game with the nephew. We were given a lovely lunch and then it was off to get the house in order from the holiday. 

Wednesday was nice dog walks before going to see Bowling for Soup in Glasgow. April the 13th marked 15 years since we officially started dating, so it was a lovely way to celebrate the moment. We're getting old though - sporting our inner-ear defenders, we lightly bounced at the back and just enjoyed the ambience. 

Then Thursday was a Missy day. It was the members only pre-easter soft reopening at Jupiter Artland, and we had great fun. Its been a while since we mooched about the art exhibits, so it was good to refresh our memories and enjoy the Easter atmosphere. With bonnet making and egg decorating, there was loads for the kids. Missy even got her photo with the Easter bunny - I can't tell if her expression is because this rabbit was bigger than her, or if because she was told not to chase said bunny! 

Friday the in laws arrived and it was a whirlwind trip. Fantastic Beasts at the cinema Friday (meh, better than the last one, but not as good as the first) and the Five Sisters Zoo on Saturday to see the newest arrivals: cheetahs. 

Cheetahs are my all time favourite animal. There's just something about thier athletic stride and quirky face stripes that I absolutely adore. I was absolutely delighted to see them sunbathing in the sand and can't wait to see the final enclosure when it's done. 

The in-laws settled on the quirky fossa for their favourite. I wasn't surprised that was the case, as he's such an odd and unknown animal that everyone is quickly enamoured by him. 

Of course we fitted in lots of dog walks, enough to deserve our Sunday lunch out where we were joined by the BIL and his partner. 

A very busy week! Now to go back to work to get some rest!
