 Center Parcs Leisure Resort  Our eagerly awaited getaway to Center Parcs – Elveden Forest began arriving at our woodland lodges surrounded by pine trees.  There were so many great activities for us to join in with from lively games of bowling followed by pool matches where the competition was fierce.  With the sun shinning we took the chance to hire pedalos on the lake, with races and duck-spotting providing endless fun.  Our inner popstars came out one evening as we took to the microphone at the sing-pod karaoke. We blasted out some of our favourite tunes and it was clear to see we had some talented singers amongst us. We dived straight into the Subtropical Swimming Paradise, with flumes, rapids, waves, before taking the chance to relax in the warm jacuzzi.   In the afternoon, pottery painting revealed everyone’s creative and we were all thrilled with our masterpieces.  Thursday’s adventures began with a forest bike ride, cycling past lakes and ...

 Legoland -Denmark We had a great week in Billund, Denmark, enjoying our shared love of LEGO! The early part of the week focused on relaxing and having fun together at Lalandia, with activities including bowling, crazy golf, swimming at the Aquadome, and exploring Billund.  Our favourite part of the holiday was two full days at LEGOLAND Billund.

Lake Garda & Gardaland Resort - Italy with Faye, Nina, Ross & Midi

  Lake Garda & Gardaland Resort - Italy  Our Italian adventure awaited and on arrival we were welcomed with a cold glass of fizz before being shown to our accommodation situated just a short walk from the lake itself.  Sunday began with a quintessentially Italian breakfast of strong coffee and buttery croissants before we headed to Peschiera. The canals, bridges, and pastel-coloured buildings felt like stepping straight into a postcard. We wandered the streets, snapped photos, and savoured our first Italian gelato.  Rick stole the show with a stunning rendition of  Shallow on the karaoke.  Monday took us to Gardaland for a full day of thrills. We started gently on the carousel and scenic train ride, before plunging into adrenaline-pumping rides: a drop tower that left stomachs flipping, a 4D cinema adventure with wind and water effects, and immersive rides through animatronic jungles and thrilling storylines.  From the log flume to futuristic AI Th...
