Family day out – Roary the Racing Car LIVE

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on

Half term isn’t half term for us without some sort of special outing. This half term has been no different.

Yesterday we (Kieran 5yrs, myself and Roy!) caught the train to York and headed for the Grand Opera Theatre to see Roary the Racing Car Live. The build up of excitement before the show was electric (Kieran was looking forward to it too!).  The show lasted 90 minutes including a short 10 minute interval and held Kieran’s attention from start to finish.

We all sang along, boo’d, shouted, pointed, ducked the water pistols and played with the king size inflated balls. Great fun for all the family. Find out more on the Roary Live website where you can see where you can find out more about the show and it’s stars, see clips and more. Don’t forget to visit the Facebook page for up to date news.

A truly fantastic family outing, the Cawood’s give the Roary The Racing Car Live show a big thumbs up!

I took this then a menacing Peter Kay voice told us to "PUT THE CAMERA'S AWAY!", so no sneaky peaks.
You can't go to the theatre and not have popcorn!
We did attempt a smiley picture but Kieran was distracted by the ice cream lady!

 

The show programme (£7) was packed full of games and puzzles, brilliant for the interval AND the trip home

 

Daddy enjoyed the puzzles too!
For £3 this Roary light toy was great fun and very handy for waving around during the songs!

Would we go again? Absolutely, and we’d take Kieran again too! The show kept Kieran’s attention, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Top entertainment!

 

*We received tickets to Roary Live in exchange for a review of the show. The write up is based entirely on our own experiences and opinions and no-one else’s.

Fiendish fruit and vegetable freaks with Innocent

Author Nicki CawoodPosted on

When it comes to putting the fun into your 5 a day, Innocent have it sorted!

Amongst the sweets and chocs that come traditionally at this time of year, Innocent threw down a challenge to see if we could have just as much fun in a spookily healthy way.

Could we make a fruit and veg freak for Halloween?

Yes we could!

Introducing VEGIKYLL
VEGIKYLL is an evil aubergine - no other fruit or veg is safe!
This is not a veggie monster to mess with!

Kieran had loads of fun with this project and prompted by Innocent who hates waste as much as we do, we salvaged what veg we could after Vegikyll had been on his rampage and have made some yummy soup!

Thank you Innocent for a very fun afternoon! Find out more about Innocent on the website and join in the fun on Twitter.

*No vegetable was killed in the making of this blog post. Innocent kindly sent us some veggies and innocent magnets as part of this challenge. Innocent cannot be held accountable for anything Vegikyll does or has already done.
