Peppa Pig World

In the summer we made the brave decision to take the boys to Peppa Pig world.  We were back in the UK for 2 weeks and after making the boys move home every few days we thought they deserved  a treat.

I have to admit that I was not sure the adults in the family would enjoy it but that was not the point - it was a  day out for Bob L and Bob D. As it turns out we had a fabulous day...

Luckily, we picked a beautiful day, the sun was out and there was not a cloud in the sky. Peppa Pig World is actually based within a much larger theme park, Paultons Park, so there were enough hair-raising rollercoasters to keep the big kid (i.e. hubby) happy.

As you enter Peppa Pig World, you are greeted with the slightly (!) annoying theme tune, which is played on repeat alongside some other 'classics', including the Birdie, Birdie, Woof, Woof song. If you are not familiar with this song,  play the below video so you can sample the delights and get it stuck in you head for weeks (don't say I didn't warn you!).

The constant music was all I can complain about. The rides were great, completely age appropriate and entertaining enough for us big kids too. We had heard reports of long queues and waiting for hours, but we were lucky enough to be able to go on a weekday outwith the school holidays, so the queues were manageable (15 mins).

We were amazed that our two waited to get on the rides but on hindsight there were plenty to watch and be amazed by, and although the songs were a bit wearing on the adults the boys loved dancing to them. Strangely for once Bob D didn't complain about the noise.

The highlight of the day was going into Peppa Pig's house, where Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, Peppa and George were talking about pancakes.  The look of joy on the boys faces when we entered the house, made it worth every penny.

The boys talked about visiting Peppa and going into her house for weeks afterwards, even now when they watch the cartoon they say "we have been to her house mummy". 

There was an amazing selection in the gift shop, as you would expect, with loads of Peppa Pig memorabilia for kids to go crazy over.

A question that keeps coming up in our house at the moment is when will the boys start to have memories that they will keep forever. I certainly can remember bits from when I was three and we hope that they will always remember the lovely day we had here.
