As we’re both off this week we decided to take the kids to Drayton Manor Park for the day so we could have a look at Thomas Lnd and take the kids to see the animals.
Even though it was chucking it down we enjoyed every minute! The kids were amazed by all the thomas themed rides and Luke had a really close encounter with a tiger! They even managed to get me on a rollercoaster! lol (Ok, so it was a kids one, but it still went really fast! lol)

- All Covered up and ready for the rain!

- Luke meets a tiger!
They do an offer during the week in term time meaning that toddlers and a parent get in for £14, so it cost us £28 for all four of us to go. Normally the tickets cost £23 each for an adult so it was a bargain!!!!!!!
Would totally recommend the place to anyone who has thomas mad kids like us. we all really enjoyed our day!
Highlights were the tourblesome trucks rollercoaster, the animals, the boat ride in thomas land, and the Pirates adventure (A boat ride through different pirate scenes with a bit of a flume and water splash, I got soaked and had to walk back to the car with a wet through bum!)
Just some quick photo’s

Sorry for the long time no decent update situation. Stuff’s been pretty manic here recently with Christmas so Ive not had much time.
Just wanted to post some pictures of an event we went to last monday called The Magic of Christmas at the Birmingham NEC. If nyone stumbles across this while trying to find out more info about it then I would definatly recommend going! It was fantastic! the kids are still talking about it week later and we’re planing on going next year. we went on a weekday as I got free tickets that could be used during the week. it was relativly quiet when we firstarrived and got busier as the day wore on, but still was quiet enough for us only to have to que a couple of times for stuff. Most of the time we could just walk straigt in.
Anyway, here are the pictures from the day.
Suggestions for christmas please…..

Im looking for somewhere to take the kids for christmassy treat.
Cant be too expensive as there will be all four of us going and whilst its nice to go to the big events, they are still little so I cant see the point in spending a fortune on something that they wont remember in a couple of weeks time! (Tight arent i?)
If anyone has any suggestions as to local events that are nice to go to then please post them underneath,
Cheers in advance!

*Edited to include pictures!*
Well Saturday was spent at one of the kids favourite places, The Kids club in Huthwaite. Its a bit soft play/run riot/run their batteries down place. Its basically a huge room with a big fort based on a pirate ship and castle and tower. There’s little tykes cars to play in, slides, ball pits and climbing frames. There’s also a little cafe in the same room for Mum and Dad to have a coffee in whilst the kids tire themselves out.
Jack is in heaven when we go here, he gets to play in loads of cars! Yesterday we went with Sarah and Ellie, Ellie is older than my two (Is she 5 Sarah?) and she was running round like lightening. I got the chance to have a quick catch up with Sarah (Well more of a shout a each other across the chaos!)
I also let Jack have a little bit more freedom than I have done on previous visits, he could run around without having to keep close to me. He’s at an age now where he wants to go explore a little bit more so he was up and down slides on his own, and playing wherever he wanted instead of keeping him close.
Luke has figured out how to push himself along in the toy cars now too so he spent ages doing that. He wasn’t quite so impressed with the slide leading to the ball pit though. I had a go though as you can see below! Karl came up after he had finished work so he was soon roped into climbing across walkways and sliding down slides too.
All in all it was a good way to spend the afternoon. The kids were shattered by the time we left and it was well worth the £4 it cost us for a good couple of hours worth of playing.
*****Update April 09 – The Kids club has been bought by new owners since I typed this and some of the itmes I speak about in this post have been altered. I’m only updating this because I seem to get a few hits from people looking for information on huthwaite kids club. Its not got a big Space themed area that has slides and a ball pit and loads of climbing stuff, Still WELL worth a visit!*****
