June 21, 2007: Sleeping with sharks

sharksLast night Gwen slept with the sharks at the Kattegat Centre. This was an end of year treat for her class. Before they could bed down they helped to prepare the food for the sharks and other sea creatures. They are apparantly very fussy eaters as they had to take the beaks off the octopuses before the sharks would deign to eat them.

It was real Night at the Museum stuff as the kids were locked in to the centre and the creatures all came alive after dark – oh, I forgot, they were alive in the first place! Nobody got much sleep anyway as they were up again at 6.15 and had to be collected by groggy parents at 6.45. Gwen got the day off to recover but everyone else had to turn up for school and work as normal.
