TWINLAKES THEME PARK REVIEW

Last week we made the short trip to one of our local theme parks, Twinlakes. It was the Easter holidays and I knew the boys would just love the excitement and adrenaline on offer there. Being ten and almost eight I feel that Twinlakes has enough on offer to keep them occupied and with the weather really temperamental at the moment, I knew there was options in case the heavens decided to open. I also think it's worth mentioning that I noticed a lot of families of wide age groups, ranging from young babies (0-2) up to teenagers having an absolute blast, that really highlights just how much there is on offer there for everyone. I'm generally of the view there aren't many places you can take a two year old and an eleven year old and they both have fun, but Twinlakes would definitely be one of those places.

CLIP N CLIMB NEWARK

Having two lively boys I'm always looking for activities and adventures to tire them out, especially ones that wont involve the words 'when are we going home?'. Luckily we found a brand new one not too far from us. We're not entirely new to Clip n Climb and have used other centres locally too, but we're yet to find two the same so there's always a little bit of variety if you head to a new centre I find. Clip n Climb are a worldwide brand and have lots of different climbing centres, they have over 50 different climbing challenges each designed for different abilities and there really is something for everyone, regardless if you're an expert or a beginner.

MENS GIFT GUIDE

I don't know about you but I simply find the men in my life the hardest to buy for and as luck would have it, my family is male heavy. Fathers day in particular can be a tricky one, there is a lot of generic stereotypical gifts out there, but for me I find once a Dad has had their first few Fathers days, they've probably racked up enough 'No1 Dad' socks to open a shop - I like something a little different. That being said the range of gifts to buy can be vast depending what your loved one is into so it can be difficult to know where to begin. I've popped together a little guide that I think can be useful anytime you're looking to buy something for that special male in your life.
