My brave brave girl

Yesterday (Sunday) was Marc's birthday but the girls were poorly so we couldn't really do anything to celebrate. Both girls were/are snotty and have a chesty cough, they sound like they've been smoking Lambert & Butler's for 40 years.
So anyway seeing as they seemed a bit better today, we went down to The Tate Modern this morning to look at Carsten Höller's slides.
I had to give Iris a feed so Marc took Daisy off to look at the slides and he discovered that children could go down as long as they were over .9 of a meter and Daisy is 95cms so she could go on.
Marc went down first leaving the safety lady at the top to help Daisy down, she had to get into a bag and lie down and then be launched off by this lady, and Marc said she looked a bit surprised at the bottom.
There are two identical smaller slides on the first floor and this is one of them, Daisy actually went down the other one.


Once Iris was finished i had a go down one of the these smaller slides and the drop is very steep, you shoot down very quickly so i'd say pretty scary for a two and a half year old. However Daisy said she wanted another go, so Marc went down first and then i lauched her down and her little face looked terrified as she went down, Marc said she did look a bit scared when she came out at the bottom.
She's such a brave little thing, i think she wanted to go because she loves slides but she'd never encountered big slides like these before.


What with all that excitement she decided she wanted to do a wee, so here she is eating a box of raisins and pulling a lovely face sitting on her travel potty of which she didn't actually do a wee at all.
In the background you can see the tallest slide which apparently takes 90 sec's to come down.
We didn't go on the bigger ones because the queue was too long.
