Our 4th Learn Nothing Day was 3 days ago. Goodness me – time flies! I took photos, and recorded it, but only just got back to internet, so here I am! As usual, our day of trying to learn nothing has been a huge failure. But it started out promisingly….
We have been on holidays in Wales with my cousin Gary, his wife and 4 of his 5 kids. In the middle of nowhere in a cottage. I figured if we didn’t really go outside, and tried to minimize other activities we might not learn tooooo much. We got up late-ish…the kids watched a movie. A new movie for Kai – eek! Called Dinosaur Hunters….double eek… I didn’t watch it, so I can surmise maybe he learnt nothing new (but I doubt that!). After the movie, Kai played some games on his iPod…hmmm, nothing to see here…
Then it went from bad to worse….some of the kids were playing 4 Kings in the lounge…
And Kai decided to show Poppy how to play 5 Crowns outside….
Aggghhh! Damn those learning kids!
Then me, Kai and Poppy played Uno…
And Kai and Berry played some soccer in the back garden…
By now I figure it’s a lost cause….but we add insult to injury by going out. We went to Pwllheli (which is pronounced pith-elli – go figure – crazy Welsh!)..On the way, Gary was playing some music, and Kai learnt some dance movies from his cousins in the car…and has memorized the words to #thatpower by Wil I Am…
We walked all around the shops. Went to the fun fair…
Went to the fancy sweet shop (no pics, I was in a different shop!)
Then we went to have a BBQ at the beach…At the beach there was swimming. Kai’s freestyle improved dramatically…
We found a shark egg (which is next to my finger as a size guide so we could later ID it….it was a catshark (dogfish) phew – thank goodness we couldn’t google on Learn Nothing Day!)
We BBQ’d on weird disposable BBQ’s and the kids made plates from rocks – and Kai used a jagged shell to cut his bread!
They went climbing……really, terrifyingly, high!
More swimming, rock and shell collecting, and a drive home with more music and dancing. Kai looked through a bit of his new gaming magazine when we got home, and now he’s going to bed…
Yeah. So. Epic fail….see y’all next year!!
