Tate Modern gave us a bug.

On Friday we went to the Tate Modern to meet up with Lisa P and her two boys Ben and Daniel, Eugenia and her two girls Bella and Amandia, Vanina and her big girl Carolina and little boy Federico and last but not least Rita and her boy Leo.
It was all a lot of fun, when we eventually arrived (the walk from Waterloo was long and cold along the embankment) it was lunch time so we went to the bit where school kids can go and eat their lunch and we found a big table and we all ate our pack lunches.

I think being in a room full of young school children meant that it was very germ infested and nearly all of us caught a very nasty virus. Me, Daisy, Iris, Eugenia, Bella, Amandia, Rita and Leo. The rest seemed to escape the bug.

After lunch we went and looked at the cracked floor which is an art exhibition by Doris Salcedo, to be honest whilst i was there i didn't really read anything about the artist, two small children make that quite impossible, but the internet has come to the rescue, i've just read a bit of it from the Tate website www.tate.org.uk/modern/.
It says that by putting a crack in the floor she is changing our perceptions of the very grand Turbine Hall's architecture, making us look down instead of up.
What a crock.

But it was jolly nice to get out and about in London.

That is Leo in the pics with Daisy and Iris, and yes Iris did get her foot down the crack.
