Almost a month late we've finally got around to having Barney's Birthday treat. Yep.....a day out at the Sea Life Center. What more could a one year old want? Pretty colours, fish swimming about, 4D cinema.....or was it the shop?
We did feed Barney before going around, although that didn't stop him attempting to gnaw his way out the buggy!.
Ummmm...a somewhat unexpected photo from an Aquarium huh!
At this point you may be wondering if there were indeed any fish in the tanks - well trust me there were, just not at the right time when Barney's expression was good enough for a photo too!
Ahh the 4D cinema. How to style two pairs of shades by my beautiful wife - ain't she cool!?
It wasn't a funny film was it? Although I couldn't really tell you what it was about as I spent 8 outa the 10 min duration taking photos.
So 4D, is one better than 3D. The 4 equating to rumbling seats and very noisy sound effects. All of which Daisy was completely scared of. To reassure her, I just took photos and ignored all her requests to leave!
She does look kinda terrified hey!?
Good of them to match the seat covers to Daisy's cardie though.
The house of mirrors. Just imagine more than one of Daisy - wow, that'd seriously test my patience!
The inevitable 'shop' at the end of the tour. Yep......probably the favourite part of the day for Barney. That octopus joined him this evening for a bath.
The angelic face mummy just can't resist.
ahh back out side and back to flippin cold February weather. Yuk.
We returned home and continued the days theme with fish and chips for dinner too.
Wedding Day, Valentines Day and your Birthday all wrapped up in one - How Cool Is That!?
Yep, Helen had it all.....I'm now thinking it's certainly a date David better not forget. It was even great weather, you certainly wouldn't think it was February and essentially a winter wedding (well, until you see the trees at Cripps Barn without their leaves).
I've had a hard time choosing just a few photos for the blog today, so added a slideshow at the end too. Helen and David really did enjoy their wedding day. I suggest to every Bride and groom to just kick back, worry not, share great times with your friends and family - and this is exactly how it was. Helen had lovely details, a sweet feel to the day (ohh such a romantic), and her wedding went without a hitch.
For anyone who missed it I also showed a couple of favourites in my sneak peek post below.
I guess this says it all - but for anyone wanting a little more info it was the Village Pub in Barnsley - more or less opposite Barnsley House as Helen explained it for me!
Everyone all together now - ahhhhh. (Yes those are pyjamas..... with hearts on)
...and again, ahhhhh. There was just too much love in one room :-)
Ohh those sky lights - me and them had a serious love hate relationship. One minute awesome light, the next a bloody nightmare!
Chief bridesmaid took her role very seriously.... It's important to support the bride on her big day and what better way than to copy her - hands on hips, head to the side. That'll get the dress buttoned up!
OK, Bridesmaid No. 2 - clearly not chief bridesmaid (and why not you ask). Well, she's the clumsy one.....a spillage on the dress and we'd not even left for the wedding ceremony!
Ahhh those sky lights - back on with our love affair.
So they're laughing about the dress spillage now then huh?
Really, it's just the order of service - what did David and Helen have written in there.
Cripps Barn - ready for a winter wedding.
I shalln't recommend the bridesmaids hair stylist - clearly MORE hair spray is required to tame that tangle.....or was that the final look she went with?
ahh no, hair back to normal now - phew!
A lovely moment, overshadowed by the Chief Bridesmaid again, entertaining herself in the background with a game of paper-scissors-stone (against herself - go figure?). It looks to have distracted David too!
and back to the wedding vows.
Love this photo above, so sweet with all the close family and friends.
Yep, this is officially the (I took it from within the fireplace) shot. Pretty warm in there I must say.
Ding dong.
"ooohhh, maybe one day I'll meet a beautiful girl and get married" Give it a few years though son.
Who an earth would trust the best man to inspect the cake????
Schwing, magic light at Cripps Barn....bring it on!
What were they singing? I forget now, but it makes a good photo. I mean Group Photo (there I said it, that dirty word associated with wedding photography)
The funny.....and the serious (below) - I love this time during speeches.
OMG....both of you? That's wedding photography gold dust in one shot.
Are you telling tales 'clumsy'? It's no good pointing fingers, even Davids dad knows you spilt something on your dress.
This time I chose to take my photo from outside the fireplace - a lot more comfortable.
Loved these wedding details....sweet.
And finally a slideshow of photos from the Cripps Barn wedding.
