Is this normal lol

two little kids (2 and 5) never know what to do with them or how to fill the time. Everywhere is busy and expensive. But if you stay home it’s awful.

I’m going to sound really awkward now, but picnics are a no go. 2 year old just won’t eat them.

I am aware of Kedelston hall (not much there) and Calle Abbey (small playground.) Foremark is OK but not much beyond the play area. Sudbury is good but we’ve been a lot.

Calke Abbey has a bigger playground in the woods that my 3 year old likes more than the small one by the main car park.
