Hampton Court Palace and The Twits

Since Laksha loves history and is learning about the Tudors, I thought this will be the perfect place to  talk her and add to her knowledge. And what more, there was an Easter egg hunt too and lots of sets and crafts going on perfect for Mahi!

We picked a beautiful day to go and had first a little picnic on the palace grounds. We then headed off to discover the palace! The place itself is so beautiful!! The kids loved going into the private places of where Henry the 8th lived! We loved exploring the different places in the palace! We also took part in interactive workshops and watching an hour long drama about Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn's brief story before their child was born. It was a great show which took us through different rooms in the palace which reinforced the story. Once we finished, exploring the palace we went to the gardens and that was another beautiful sight. We also visited the Rose Garden but no roses flowered. Once we finished exploring, we went to the Magical Gardens. It was one of the best playgrounds we've been too. Mahi was addicted to the slides and rolling down the hills. Lucky was just running around everywhere playing in the water play area and the tiny towers feeling like a princess.

As we were in the area, we also managed to fit in 'The Twits' show at the Rose Theatre in Kingston. As the kids loved Roald Dahl and O always wanted to see a production of The Twits, I thought it'll be perfect I was surprised to see that people with no children were there to watch it. The show was very interactive and disgustingly fantastic! The characters, songs and just the whole show was brilliant! We loved getting water sprayed during the show! By seriously, go watch it! We absolutely loved it!
