Alexander Residence: The boy and his mummy went to sea

The boy and his mummy went to sea

The boy and his mummy went to sea in a battered boat shaped sandpit. They took golf clubs and spades (for oars), binoculars and toilet rolls (for telescopes) and the attachment to the Hoover (a sea snake).

They battled with sea serpents, whales, crocodiles and spiders.

They escaped to bouncy island (the trampoline)

They performed a daring sea rescue of smelly bear, who had been kidnapped by pirates.

They were back in time for tea (sausage, chips and peas).

She's set the theme of 'Adventure' for next week's 'Lyrical Sunday' -http://www.catchingthemagic.com/lyrical-sunday/

I'd love it if you linked up this post to it next Sunday (7 August). This is magic!
