Knockhatch Adventure Park

P and the Wallaby

We went on a home ed visit to Knockhatch Adventure Park at the beginning of February.  This is P in the mud looking very unimpressed by the wallaby (notice the hands tucked up inside her coat - the keeper had just told her that they bite!)

We had an animal encounter talk - the animals were snakes, spiders, scorpions and white hedgehogs! I really must get a camera that can take pictures indoors just for this blog!  Sorry about the blurry pictures.

An even blurrier picture of a very large spider!  I think I was pretty brave to be this close.  P didn't want to get very close.  This one can flick poisonous hairs from its back at you.  It was pretty bald already so was not a nice spider.

The park was pretty deserted apart from our group.  This was great because we soon discovered the inside play area with enormous slides, swings, etc for the kids and  hot coffee for us and as it was so cold and damp outside most of us stayed there for the whole afternoon.
