Day out at Lotherton Hall

                     Hey everyone :)

Today i am going to telling you about a day out i had a few days ago. So it was my day off and we had my niece Lexie for the day as it was school holidays and her mum was at work. We decided to have a day out but we didn't know where to go, then my mum thought about Lotherton Hall in Aberford, now i had been here as a kid and enjoyed it but it's been years, plus Lexie has never been so that was our choice.

It isn't that far from our house so we went to pick my grandma up and then off we went, the weather wasn't bad but it wasn't as nice as bank holiday Monday and it was cold! (by the way we went on the Tuesday after bank holiday)

You do have to pay to get into the grounds but it doesn't cost much and there is a lot you can do there. We decided to go into the bird garden first which was full of different kinds of birds to look at including owls, flamingos, condors and many more. Lexie loved looking at them all and spotting them out, she was really excited and had a lot of fun, i have a few pictures here.

 After we went into the house, it is an historic house with a lot of rooms, they also had a little craft room for the kids to play a little. After we had a walk around the house we went out into the gardens to walk around there and do one of the trails where you had to find items on a list and tick them off. But unfortunately it started to rain a lot so we headed out to the cafe to get a nice hot chocolate to warm us up.



In the cafe we decided to do a few face swaps on snapchat which Lexie also enjoyed seeing. When our hot chocolates were all gone we went into the gift shop and i bought Lexie a little magnate for her fridge which had a lovely picture of the house on and then we also got a little rubber for her pencil case.

We all had a lovely time together even though it ended up raining!
If you have any places you have visited that are similar to this please let me know i would love to read about it!
Thanks for reading :)
