Pure Gold Pineapple Plantation Visit


We've been working with Pure Gold Pineapples this year and when the opportunity came about to visit a pineapple farm and see just how these delicious golden pineapples are grown and process to get them from the paddock to the plate, I jumped at the chance as a school holiday activity. 

Read more to see our video on the plantation and for some interesting facts about pineapples that the kids will love!


Little Big Dash Review

If you are looking for a fun, family day out, look no further than Little Big Dash. An obstacle adventure that the whole family will enjoy!

We all had so much fun. There were 10 obstacles spread out over the 3km area. The favourite hands down was the Bubble Blast! The giggles could have been heard a mile away and I had a hard time  moving the girls along...they were having such a blast! The other obstacles included hay bale circuits, inflatable obstacles, balance beams, cargo crawl, 3 legged races and more!



Yatala
Yatala Drive In Review

The cost of entertainment for the family can certainly add up, so I set a school holiday challenge to the kids to find us a budget friendly, fun family outing...one that I could not say no to!

With the weather being so cool of late, leaving the warmth of the home was proving to be difficult for all of us!  So when the kids excitedly put their 'proposal' of outing to my husband and I over dinner, how could we refuse? They came up with, the Yatala Drive In.

We recently ordered an activity pack for my two kids (4 and 6 years) to keep them busy on a rainy weekend when we were stuck indoors. We heard about this business through a friend and jumped online and ordered 2 packs, one Princess Castle Series for Miss 4 and the Dinosaurs Pack for Master 6.

If you are looking for a fun School Holiday activity for the kids, jump online and check out their full range. It is sure to keep the kids busy for hours!
