Great days out that mums, dads and children will love
Posted: 1 May 2009
At last, summer's here and, for once, the sun is shining. It's the perfect opportunity to head outdoors and let your children run wild. With the long summer holidays on the horizon, you may be wondering how to keep the whole family happy.
After all, Dad's idea of a great day out might be testing your child's bravery on a wild roller-coaster ride; your toddler's best day may be paddling about in the waves on the beach, while your six-year-old may want nothing more than a campsite with a river running through it. And for you? Well, an afternoon simply lying back on a grassy slope, listening to music and watching the clouds roll by would be heaven.
