Lastly we spent a morning watching Toy Story 3...
...while Moppet watched youtube toy videos in Spanish...
...then spent a couple of hours taking event posters to places that were kind enough to put them up for us (and I was so so proud of Sprout as he had the confidence to go into the shops/pubs etc with me and he explained himself what he was organising and asked whether they'd put his poster up. Ace boy!!)
Afterwards we went to Gentleshaw to see the animals and for Sprout to make a video showing all the animals and saying about the event.
Back at home Squidge played some minecraft with his friend and Sprout designed a coin sorter out of Lego while we edited his video.
