I had my son from lunchtime on Friday until teatime on Sunday and it made for a great weekend. We initially rushed home to play the newly downloaded demo of Lego Marvel Superheroes on PS3 and then watched some Power Rangers Megaforce. Add to this some playing make believe and Friday was taken care of.
On Saturday my son started to watch episode 1 of every Power Rangers series on Netflix. It took him until Sunday to finish all 20 types but I was proud of this obsessive geeky streak in him considering he's only 5. The middle part of our day was taken up with five hours in Eureka! which is a children's learning museum in Halifax. It cost the two of us £22 to enter but then we got our receipt turned into a years free pass. With it being so local to us, we can hang out when we like , which makes it good value. We had an enjoyable time pretending my son was a doctor and I was his helper who he was teaching about the human body etc. it raised some discussion over how babies got out of a woman's tummy (I suggested a 'baby hole') but thankfully not in.
Just a great day.
Then after a lie in on Sunday morning we called to visit a mate of mine for an hour and then headed to the media museum.
The Doctor Who exhibition had started that very day and we entered the floor where it was first. There were two families colouring in some Who related sheets. Other wandering kids held pop up paper Daleks which looked devastatingly brittle. A few steps into this area and my boy said he wanted to go to his usual favourite area instead. One where we go every time. I did what he wanted. We visited every area first, leaving the Doctor Who level until last. When we returned it was locked for the day. Ah the irony.
Still, we had a good time. The rain bucketed down outside and in the south of the UK, floods and storms raged on that night causing havoc.
I spent my evening watching a film or two and was totally ready for my working week.
