Alton Towers Pirate Takeover and Splash Landings Hotel Ice Cave Room

Posted on March 7, 2025March 19, 2025 by Jupiter

During the February half term, we always go to the Alton Towers Pirate Takeover event. This year, we actually floated not going, as we felt Kai and Amelia were a bit old for the whole thing, but after talking it over with them, everyone decided they really wanted to go and that we needed to. With that in mind, we booked up tickets to the Pirate Takeover, with a night at Splash Landings in the Ice Cave Room.

Seeing all of the wonders at Watermouth Castle

Posted on March 4, 2025March 14, 2025 by Jupiter

We got to Woolacombe Bay each year and always find somewhere nearby to go on the last day. Last year, we went to the Quince Honey Farm as per the promotion going on at Woolacombe Bay and this year they had a little promo with Watermouth Castle, so we wanted to check it out. Watermouth Castle has a lot more going on then we first thought when arriving. It is in fact a castle, but also an amusement park, which is absolutely fantastic.

Acting like a Kid at Bubble Planet

Sometimes, you see advertisements for places and you think that maybe, maybe it’s too good to be true. Lots of things are over hyped, and when we got to the outside of the warehouse that Bubble Planet is in, with a bunch of primarily toddlers going in, I thought “oh wow, I have made a mistake”. Bubble Planet is an immersive experience where you can sort of learn about spheres and bubbles, but primarily experience and play in bubble related rooms.

Exploring the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery

Posted on February 24, 2025March 10, 2025 by Jupiter

As parents, we like to encourage all of our children’s interests. For Robin, that’s primarily gymnastics and playing guitar. For Kai it’s going to the gym and playing DnD, for Amelia, it’s arts and drumming. So, when our local art gallery announced the Harlow Open at Gibberd Gallery last year, we encouraged Amelia to pick out a photo and enter, though she didn’t make it in, she was mentioned and felt very proud of that! This year, she and Robin decided to do a painting.

Using all the machines at Diggerland

Posted on February 20, 2025March 5, 2025 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] Dann and I got the chance to go along to Diggerland, which is a very unique amusement park. This place is aimed at either toddlers who really like construction materials or at adults that have always wanted to control big machines but have not had the space or time to do so. It’s an interesting idea; a big park full of different construction machines, plenty of spaces to use them, and some construction themed rides.
