Summer 2016 Activities

Here's a list of things to do over the Summer Holidays to keep your kids amused... i know it's hard to find things to do every day so i thought i'd try and help out a little.

This is going to be a work in progress and i will try and find things and keep it updated.. but please if you have any ideas let me know and i'll add them to the first few posts
