The Mixed Story

Matt is calling this the Mixed Story because this blog is about two things we did.

The first thing I want to talk about is the mountain we climbed on the Isle of Skye. When we climbed the mountain I was very puffed when we got to the top. It was very cold and windy when we got to the top and we touched cloud where we stopped. The top was a long way further up and we didn't keep climbing as we couldn't see the peak in the clouds. When we were coming down Dad was first and then Sam was second and I was third but then I overtook everybody by miles and Sam was grabbing and snatching at me trying to make me slow down but I kept on going fast. Once we couldn't see Mum (who was, like, back where we climbed to!) so we had to stop. The mountain was covered in heather and when we climbed down we were running so fast we'd fall over and do a face plant. When Jo was running full pelt down there was a stream and Jo fell in it and she got a soaked bottom. When we were nearly at the car there was some mud and I nearly stepped in it. Sam didn't step in it but Jo did and got muddy shoes! At the car we had to change our clothes as they were so wet. We didn't think any cars would come by but one did and Jo squealed and hid. After we hopped in the car we went for a drive down to the end of the road where there was water and an Otter's Hide. We walked to the Hide. When we went inside there were binoculars to look at the ocean and Daddy, Mummy and Sam saw two seals and one otter. The end of part 1.

The next story is about the Museum (Grampian Transport Museum in Alford). We went to the Musuem on Wednesday. They had lots and lots and lots of motorbikes, bicycles and cars and and a snow plough and vans and old cars and buses. We saw a car like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. There was an awesome car that was used in a James Bond movie - it was a bright green jaguar. It had a machine gun behind the back seat, missiles that could shoot out of the radiator and bombs and grenades in the doors. I wished it was a car I could buy. There were quizzes and things we had to find. I had to find different numbers on the cars, bikes and vans - I found all of them. When you finished the quizzes you got a lolly and I got 2 and 1/2 lollies.

We saw a big yellow snow plough that sweeps all the snow to the side of the road. We could climb on the bus, tram, the pennyfarthing, the plough and a tractor. There was a huge! organ that you had to get someone to press the button and then the music would play. The music played automatically - I don't know how the instruments played when they needed to but there was a saxaphone, cymbals, drums, tappers, and a pipe organ and other things too. (Sam took a video which you can click on and hear the organ play.)

The End!!!
