Reasons to be Cheerful: Easter fun #R2BC

Thank you to Michelle for hosting in March its now over to me for the month of April! I do hope folks will continue to join in by linking and commenting. I will visit you all and share your posts. Here are my reasons to be cheerful this Easter holidays:
1) Single parent holiday
My son and I were co-ordinating a holiday for 42 people at the YHA in Sherwood Forest.  We love doing these as we get to meet new people and stay in new places. I may have been born in Nottingham but its not a part of the world I know well so it was good to return:

2) Farm fun
I have already blogged about the fun we had at White Post Farm. How could sights like this fail to raise your spirits:

3) Fun and Games

#CountryKids at White Post Farm, Nottinghamshire

As part of our weekend away with Single With Kids we had a day trip to White Post Farm. Now I wasn't sure that my 11 year old son would be too old for a farm trip but it turned out there was plenty to keep him entertained. I booked our tickets the day before online to save money and then our group all headed over to the farm. It was a pretty damp and cold day but that didn't dampen the children's enthusiasm as we looked at the birds of prey near the entrance:

My son spotted the crazy golf and we easily found one other family who wanted to play. As it was all included in the entrance its so much easier! Some of the holes were tricky to say the least but I was glad to be the overall victor... 

The children then piled into the vehicles to try them out. All the way around the farm there were plenty of friendly animals wanting to say hello (and be fed!):
