Spitfire

 Day 2 of DIY - painting and therefore my job! So Steve and Jen took the boys to an airplane museum near York that Sam has been desperate to go to, because they have Spitfires (Sam's topic at school is World War II).  It was a long way just about 2 hours there and 2 hours back again, but the kids really enjoyed it (although the same can't be said for Jen!).

Spitfire!

Army truck, what joy!

Pilot and co pilot

Dreams, dreams, dreams

Sisterly devotion

I believe I can fly

Dad liked it as much as the boys!!

I have a tank and I'm not afraid to use it!

We have established, indubitably, on this museum trip something that we had long suspected... Tom is not the sort of boy who enjoys looking at things!!  Sam, on the other hand, loves looking at things.  He will wander around any museum and find something to interest him.  For Tom, unless you can play with it, or on it, he has no interest in it and no entreaty, threat or bribery will change his mind. 

And you know what?  I ADORE both these outlooks equally.
