Bringing History to Life

Day 166 - 7:56am, 20 June 2019

We went to see Horrible Histories in the theatre at the weekend. Hubby takes eldest to see the Tudor version in the morning and I take youngest and her friend in the afternoon for the Egyptians. Middle son opts not to go for either, which is a relief because a bored son does not make for a good viewing experience for the rest of us.

Of course, because we want to be away from trampolining promptly, Little Miss has to stay behind. I think that is going to be the worst of our worries, until Little Miss promptly gets frightened at the special effects at the theatre and knocks her glasses off. I spend the next five minutes on hands and knees trying to find them. No joy, but thankfully at lights up at the end, her friend finds them. The use of 3D glasses certainly brought a new meaning to the phrase "bringing history to life", even if it nearly gave us a heart attack. I can't help but wish history had been taught in this manner when I was a child.
