Haigh Hall

This morning was beautiful so I decided to get up and take the kids to Haigh Hall. We only live 15 minutes from there and I have wanted to go since we have lived in Wigan but have never taken the kids. It was such a beautiful park. Even Kaylee said mommy when we go to parks for now on can we come here because it has EVERYTHING! And she was so right. We got there about 9:15 which meant the playground was empty. Then at about 10:15 is we went and walked around the hall. Then I took the kids into the stables which have been redone into art galleries and they have hands on activities for the kids. They both choose a ceramic shape (Kaylee a butterfly and Spencer an airplane) to paint. Next they have a little carnival set up there all the time so I let the kids go on the tea cup ride. They both loved it! Then we walked down to the crazy golf and the walled gardens. It was so beautiful and so peaceful. It was one of those places you never really want to leave. The view from the hall was amazing. We skipped the train ride around the park this time but I am certain we will go back there a lot more now that I know how amazing it is! Anyway there are loads of pictures I will just share my favs!! xx
My little boy is growing up so fast!
