If you’ve been around teenagers, you know that they often have a bit of a “meh” personality. It’s just something about being a teen – nothing is exciting, fun or cool anymore. We are a big adventure household, and though Kai does like going out, a lot of the activities aren’t super Kai focused. Recently, Kai mentioned Jousting as something he would like to see, so obviously we jumped at the idea of taking him somewhere he might really love! We went back to Hampton Court Palace to see Henry VIII’s Joust!

[Ad- gifted experience] We were delighted to be invited back to the Polka Theatre, especially as Robin loves this place so much! If you aren’t aware, they have a massive rom for younger kids, which has costumes, a reading corner, coloring, block building on a magnetic board and other toys to play around with. This time, due to the lovely weather, the outdoor play park was also open, however we were pretty busy on the day and didn’t stick around to play this time. We did, however, have a fantastic time watching Sam Wu is NOT afraid of Ghosts.

[Ad- gifted experience] Both Dann and I absolutely love exploring new places and new features within places we have visited before. It’s been a while since we’ve been to the Natural History Museum so we were delighted to be invited back to see the Birds: Brilliant and Bizarre exhibition. This is a ticketed exhibition within the free museum, allowing you to learn more about birds throughout history and how the future might affect them. As someone who grew up in a place where we didn’t learn about dinosaurs, this was a very interesting exhibition.

[Ad- gifted experience] When it comes to days out in London, Dann and I really both enjoy gaming events. As we both work in games, we’ve been to our fair share of gaming showcases, comicons, events and the like. MCM Comic Con London aims to be a family event for all ages, full of geek culture. We were delighted at being invited back once again and took a much slower time exploring the venue. MCM Comic Con London is absolutely massive – expanding across two halls at the Excel, full of different stands, cosplay, interactive bits and so much more.
