This day I love.......: tram

My Mum and I took the girls on a little surprise trip. They were very excited especially when they got to travel on the tram.

We arrived in the city of Sheffield and my girls thought we were going shopping but we kept on walking towards the Moor. The Moor has just been refurbished and has indoor markets, shops and also hosts events. It was the event that had caught my attention, Beside the seaside. I knew instantly upon reading it the girls would love it. I was not wrong the second they saw the fair ground rides they were straight on them.

Authentic seaside noises filled the air and if it was not for the surrounding shops you would be forgiven for thinking you were at a seaside resort. In fact it was so authentic there were even donkeys to ride!

The only thing missing was the sea itself. A huge beach [sandpit] surrounded by deckchairs and beach huts. The beach even had lots of buckets and spades for any child to use, and my girls certainly wasted no time to begin playing in the sand

I decided an ice cream sitting in a deckchair in the sun was the way forward.

I recorded a short video to give you a taste of The Moor Seaside, hope you enjoy.

We love to travel and explore new places, be it on a day trip or longer family holidays. A brand new family travel show is also opening its doors this October. The family travel show will be at London Olympia from October 31st to November 1st. Encompassing everything to do with family travel and with kids under 16 going free, it is sure to be a perfect family adventure!

I am pleased to be able to offer a pair of adult tickets to the Family travel show. Simply follow instructions on the widget below which also has the full terms and conditions.

Good Luck

After completing my first park run on Saturday morning, I decided it would be a nice treat to go to the theatre. Music in the round had put on a show at the crucible in Sheffield, crazy creatures. The show sounded interesting, lots of audience participation, musical instruments and a story for both girls to follow.

Rather than driving into town we opted to take the tram. My youngest loved this. Not sure what it is about kids and trains/trams but she thought it was such a treat. She even got excited at seeing the pigeons in town, to her this was an amazing day.

The crucible is such a lovely venue, the theatre was quite intimate without feeling small. There was some lovely acoustics too. The cast came on stage and introduced us to the songs. It took a while for my daughter to warm up but she was soon participating with everyone else. My youngest needs more to look at and soon got a little fed up of watching the musicians and the moving slides on the Screen in front.

My eldest really got into the stories, there were two in total. She loved the singing and the actions and it was great to see her so involved. I asked her which instrument she liked and she said the clarinet or oboe. It was a great way to introduce children to music and really lovely story. I think my youngest will get there, she just can't sit still at the moment.

As we left my eldest started laughing, I asked her and she said because the cat hoovered his bottom. Quite clearly she enjoyed herself and loved the day spent listening to music in the theatre. It has certainly captured her imagination.

This day I love toddler, trams and theatres.
