Today we let the kids rule the day, that’s right! Yesterday Sophie and Riley received their school reports and because they were excellent we decided to let them take over what we do for the day.
We had four categories with three choices in each and they had to choose which one they wanted to do.
Outing
- Strawberry picking
- Ellerker Village summer fayre including duck race
- Geocaching
The kids unanimously chose Strawberry picking, it’s something we haven’t done as a family before so we were all excited and drove out to Eastfield Farm Strawberries.
What a fantastic time we had and yes they had to have their own punnet each, we will be eating strawberries all week. It is well worth the visit, the staff were friendly and the cheesecake was delicious (mummy and daddy needed encouragement since the kids were in charge for the day).
Lunch
- Picnic
- McDonalds
- Trinity Market
The kids chose McDonalds and they ate the lot, although this wasn’t the easiest out of the three choices they didn’t mind the little wait in the car on the way back from Hollym.
Activity
- Biking
- Scootering
- Park (with hope the splash section is running)
The kids chose the park but it wasn’t warm enough for the splash section to run so we went from West Park in Hull to the Peter Pan Park for a change. They loved every moment and especially because they were in charge.
Pudding
- Popcorn
- Pick n Mix
- Magnum Ice Cream
The kids chose the Pick n Mix and this was the last part of the kids rule the day although they did come home and choose a movie as well as tea (they still had some room from the strawberries).
All in all the day was a success and we will be doing this again next year (if not before) for the weekend of the kids getting their report.
Sophie says “I think we should do it again and other parents should try it with their children”
Riley says “It was a good idea I have been waiting all week so we can rule the day”
