Seeing the Animals at Port Lympne Safari Park

[Ad- gifted experience] One of our goals this year was to see more animals! This was something Robin had picked as a New Years goal, so we wanted to go out to something over the summer holiday that had a bunch of animals. Port Lympne Safari Park not only had tons of animals to look at, but also had a safari trip that allowed us to learn and see so many more animals out in large spaces, so we were very excited to head along! This place is absolutely massive, we were in no way able to explore it all on the day we went, so it’s well worth checking out the map and deciding where you want to go. We skipped out on the Dino Walk, due to wanting to focus on animals, and did prioritize monkeys as they were the most exciting thing for us all. There are also feeding times listed at the entrance, if you want to watch an animal feeding.

Our Family’s Favorite Soups for Autumn

If you have seen any of our midweek meal inspo posts, you’ll know that we all eat a variety of foods each and every week. As it’s fall time, we have been on a bit of a soup kick. There are so many delicious soups out there and they always feel so fun for autumn. With that in mind, we have tried so many different soups, and have a bunch of favorites that we want to share with you. These soups are kid friendly and great to make ahead and store in the freezer. Most of them could have pasta added too, if you’d like, though some of them are perfect without it.

They do have a bar inside, a little cafe, and a stage where you can take your picture. This time, we were invited along to watch Bedroom Farce, which is a comedy about four sets of couples, all exploring their different relationships through a very long day and night.
