Splashing about at H2O Rampage Inflatable Aqua Park

A few years back, we went to an inflatable aqua park. Since then, we’ve gone to smaller versions on holiday, but it’s something all three of our children have mentioned regularly. This summer, Kai has asked to do “more high energy things” so we started looking at inflatable aqua parks again. Everyone loves spending sunny days in the water and we hadn’t visited H2O Rampage Inflatable Aqua Park before, so we decided to book it up! You get an hour long slot, which is just enough to utterly exhaust any adults and teens alike, despite them all saying that an hour isn’t long!

Date Night at the Confetti Flower Field at Hatter’s Farm

Dann and I have been to Hatter’s Farm several times, particularly at Halloween, with our three children. It’s always decked up and very well presented, but now they offer a summertime Confetti Flower Field, filled with vibrant blooms that you can walk around and explore. As we both really enjoyed taking pictures of flowers and hanging out in flower fields, and have explored all of our local lavender fields, we booked up their Adult’s Only night to see this field at sunset.

Marvellous Makers – The Essex Summer Reading Challenge 2024

Robin is a big reader, with her favorite store being Waterstones and her favorite hobby being “reading comic books”, we are always looking for new ways to encourage and support her love of reading. For as long as she enjoyed reading, we have been signing her up for all sorts of reading related events in Essex. We’ve read to dogs, gone to plays that are based on books, and have taken her to the library at any chance we have gotten. The Summer and Winter reading challenge each year is a real highlight, as it does change so much and is so rewarding. This summer, the Essex Reading Challenge is called Marvellous Makers, and there is a fantastic display right at our local library in Harlow Town, which runs until September 7th.

The 13-Storey Treehouse at The New Wimbledon Theatre

[Ad- gifted experience] Amelia, Robin and I wanted to spend some quality time together (while the boys stayed home and gamed!) so we went to the New Wimbledon Theatre to see The 13-Storey Treehouse. We’ve not previously been to The New Wimbledon Theatre, which is located in Wimbledon, much like the Polka (one of our favorites). This theatre has a grand entrance, along with a bar outside the actual theatre. The theatre itself has a large central stage and then loads of floors, giving people the option of different views. We came to specifically see The 13-Storey Treehouse, and on this specific day, they were also handing out huge bags of free sweets (pick-n-mix style) to anyone who entered, advertising a nearby candy story, which was pretty fantastic.
