It is dd's 8th birthday tomorrow. DH is off where can we go that is cheap and cheery

[singyswife]

I paid for her and her friends to have a McDonalds and the cinema the other night and that is before I have bought her a present, where can we go tomorrow with her and her sister (5). They are not into museums, they are very active children. Any Ideas??????

?????????????

Am reallly struggling with this. HELP. What can we do?? I am a very outdoors type person and am out ALL the time with my kids but for some reason I am struggling with this.

???????

What kind of thing do you mean, a day out/treat? Zoo? Deep Sea World? Or a castle - if you like to explore, Linlithgow Palace is great (easy to reach by train).

I am looking for something different that is free/cheap as I have already spent a fortune on her and her birthday isnt even here yet.

They love to run around etc

Botanics is free, if you time it right you can get into the glasshouses free as well towards the end of the day (check their website). Or the beach, with fish and chips?

DH doesnt do the beech. It will be a special day as dh is not often off work on the actual day of their birthdays. I am sooo stuck.

a walk over the forth road bridge?

my kids love doing this, we stop at the hotel over the fife side for a coke then walk back over eating chocolate that i have hidden in my bag.

Aahhh thats a plan. They would love doing that. We tried it once before but they were only very little and it was too far for them.

That might be a plan/
