We paid a fleeting visit to Hamilton today, to explore the Exscite centre. Denver really misses the 'Shakey House' at Te Papa (the earthquake house), and I knew that when I lived in Hamilton years ago there was a similar one at Exscite. First we popped into Donovan's Chocolate factory to re-energise the troops after the long car trip.
When we got there the whole place had changed, I guess that is to be expected, and the house was nowhere in sight. There was a great range of other fun things to do though.

The Word Party
Loving words clutch crimson roses,
Rude words sniff and pick their noses,
Sly words come dressed as foxes,
Short words stand on cardboard boxes,
Common words tell jokes and gabble,
Complicated words play Scrabble,
Swear words stamp around and shout,
Hard words stare eachother out,
Foreign words look lost and shrug,
Careless words trip on the rug,
Long words slouch with stooping shoulders,
Code words carry secret folders,
Silly words flick rubber bands,
Hyphenated words hold hands,
Strong words show off, bending metal,
Sweet words call each other 'petal',
Small words yawn and suck their thumbs,
Till at last the morning comes,
Kind words give out farewell posies....
Snap! The dictionary closes.
