Kids Hols! What you doing to entertain them?

[pip]

Yep its the 6 weeks hols for us with kids ;D

so whats your plans to keep them entertained through the 6 weeks

Im on a budget so im not really taking them on hols as weve already been away twice this year plus will be again in october

Every Tuesday night we have Donkey racing @ Newquay Football Club,bloody brilliant,definate entertains the kids

Tomorow is RNAS Culdrose Air Day,so we will be there enjoying that as we have done for the last 3 years,a great day out & affordable

but we are also lucky as we have the Ripcurl Boardmasters here starting @ weekend for a week so thats my 2 & me entertained for the week as we skate,missis will just sunbathe (weather permitting) ;D

Picnics on the Moors @ Bodmin a plenty when weathers nice,plus of course When weathers nice of course we have our beach days! ;D which only being 10mins walk from front door doesnt cost sod all & is perfect ;D

Stock car racing also i take my lot to as its great value for money £28 for 2 adults & upto 4 kids,starts @ 11am practice finishes aprox 5pm my lot love it

A Good freind of mine works @ hendra so has given us 4 free family paases for the Oasis fun pools there so they need to be used,also we have locals cards for Waterworld pools so they go there a lot,then we also have membership for newquay zoo,so we spend a lot of time there also

Woodenwaves skate park is a must for skaters specialy as its free now,so me the boys there a lot ;D

then theres when i like just cruising exploring when the weathers a bit dodgy etc,just fill the camper up with fuel,pack a picnic and drive to places we aint explored and try to get lost amazing when you do get lost what you find

Well thats some of what we do in the summer hols on a budget

Anyone else? ;D

Mine are all grown up now Pip,

But i take my 5 year old grandaughter Josie on .'bug hunts' we lift up stones, and see what creepy crawlies we can find, she usually runs away screaming when we find stuff, but it keeps her entertained.
last week she said , ''mummy , my head is all itchy, i think ive got WOODLICE'' ;D
Bless her
Of course i got the blame

Think yours would be bored to death though they are much older

[pip]

Well yesterday we took them to Airday @ Culdrose & they loved it as usual

but then we went to Flambards (beside) culdrose afterwards as they did a reduced to £5 each entry from 5pm for the Airday

Was great,we got ther bang on 5pm went on everything twice,then they finished the night off with a great Firworks Display

Wouldnt pay the usual admission as the Big kid rides not that big and that many,but for the younger ones loads to do and its worth it if you go on a Firework night also

And for those who shop @ morrisons they take the Action Packed Summer vouchers given in the booklet if youve spent over £25
they let you have one kid free entry to one paying adult each voucher

Every bit helps

the best thing we done last year with the kids is give them £5 each and see who can get the thing thats the oldest and worth the most.
amy-paige got the very first zippy from rainbow£2.50
and lucy pearl got sooty £3.00 and that was the first one that came out as well. try it its fun and cheep as well

[showstopper]

Ker, give Steve £5 and get him to find a record thats the oldest and worth the most, ha ha.

[pip]

trouble is knowing steve he would come back with about 50 decent 7"s ;D

hope you lot are o.k up there in bridgewater missing you all as ive not seen ya for ages

Hey kerry & steve what you upto with your nippers?

i reckon we should get Aunty Cath' to do a bit of babysitting ;D ;D
