But I found a pattern in that style that sounds as if it should be doable for me. If Violet is willing to wear the outcome, I'll post a picture :-)<br /><br />I can't believe either that the little guy is supposedly a year old. He was playing with another little boy about 4 months older than him, and they were SOOOOO cute!<br /><br />The bat museum was so cool. No live bats there, but tons of info and interactive stuff. I thoroughly enjoyed myself :-)<br /><br />Harry Potter is so much fun. Just rent book no. 1 from the library and take it from there :-)<br /><br />Have a wonderful week, Dyanne!Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-49840291169137023252015-08-25T15:38:24.570-07:002015-08-25T15:38:24.570-07:00It's the non-baseball bat version.

They had a fun little chamber there where you could "play bat": you had to clap and then little lights on the wall would light up, which you had to hit and "catch the bait". SOOOO much fun for the little ones and a certain adult not being very good at adulting :-)Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-49069265739083350242015-08-25T15:36:55.580-07:002015-08-25T15:36:55.580-07:00There are no live bats there, but they live in the...There are no live bats there, but they live in the nearby manor :-) They did show a very interesting film about bats, including the birth of a bat. Poor bat mommy is hanging upside down even during the birth, felt sooo sorry for her..<br /><br />I actually love the books, and one can clearly see how each book is intended for a growing child. Love the beginnings of his time with the Dursleys, looking forward to this part in each new book :-)<br /><br />Have a great week, Christine!Stephanie @ Life, Unexpectedlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11787379336749043051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474956079411071497.post-41131145463625718512015-08-25T15:33:45.677-07:002015-08-25T15:33:45.677-07:00Luckily, in Germany we get 6 weeks off per year, a...Luckily, in Germany we get 6 weeks off per year, and I thoroughly enjoy it!
