We do all that too Nonu! We are lucky to have lots of open country nearby for romps in the woods, den making , kite flying and general outdoor adventures! One of my DDs has a lovely woodland garden that provides lots of opportunity for outdoor exploration!
We are fortunate to also have lovely days out for birthday treats as well, sometimes to a theme park, the cinema, theatre or a museum. depends on what the child would like to do!
Our day in Hastings was during our annual traditional English family seaside holiday at Camber Sands. We wanted to give our DGC a different experience from the other ' home made' fun days of rock pooling, sand dune playing and paddling and playing on the beach! We visited all the fascinating museums in Hastings, the aquarium, rode the little steam train and spent time in the arcades and fun fair too. We ended the day with fish and chips and great fun was had by all!
