A Day Out at Exmoor Zoo

While on holiday, we wanted to do a few activities that the children picked! One of the things that all three of them kept asking to do was go to a zoo. As we are a child-focused house, we looked up the local zoos (there were two) and picked the one that we felt was best – Exmoor Zoo. We went to Exmoor Zoo on a slightly overcast day, where the weather wasn’t very hot and there were a few drizzles of rain. The staff at the zoo said this was the best time to visit animals, as they wouldn’t be hiding from the sun and would be out getting fresh air – and they were right!

Visiting a Sunflower Field at Foxes Farm

Dann and I always go to the Lavender Field to take cute pictures, each and every year, so when I was advertised a sunflower field at Foxes Farm, I knew we were going! We have actually not been to Foxes Farm previously, though they do have a pumpkin patch and we have visited a lot of pumpkin patches over the last few years. But, focusing on the Sunflower Field!

A Day Out at Quince Honey Farm

While on vacation at Woolacombe Bay again this year, we decided to check out some local areas and ended up going to Quince Honey Farm! We’ve never been to a honey farm before, and felt this would be a really unique, fun day out that felt very new for us all! Quince Honey Farm is a local honey farm that has loads of flowers planed specifically for bees, bee hives, bee keepers, honey tasting, a honey factory, candle making, soft play and a lovely cafe. There is actually a lot to do here, with different events every few hours for you to participate in.

Exploring the Horrible Histories: Up in the Air Adventure event

There is a new Horrible Histories event, so naturally we had to ask Kai if he wanted to go! With him being a teenager now, I am always surprised when he is willing and even excited to go to an event, and Horrible Histories has always been one he really likes. The Horrible Histories: Up in the Air Adventure was very different from previous performances that they have put on, as this wasn’t a play and instead is an event around the Royal Airforce Museum with several sections of activities that children can take part in.

Glamping in Cocoons at Lee Valley Campsite, Sewardstone

[Ad- gifted experience] Lee Valley have a bunch of different campsites all around our area! These campsites offer a variety of different ways to camp from pitching tents, to bringing your own caravan, to staying in cabins, cocoons or mini-homes on the property. We got the opportunity to stay in a cocoon at Lee Valley Campsite, Sewardstone. This little overnight getaway was one Dann and I booth took together, as a cocoon is a perfect place for two people to spend the night.
