Mummy's Little Blog: holidays

Holidays are such stressful / heart warming times. Theres the hours of packing, travelling/ getting lost. To then be over whelmed by the time you have together. Those little moments where the kids are being nice and you sit and enjoy each other. No work, no life getting in the way. You and your family and thats what I love the most. IT was our first ever holiday just the 5 of us we wondered if it would be a little boring but it was far from it we loved each others company and did not rush at all the whole week.

The Monkeys on the Journey to France

We were contacted by Eurocamp to choose any one of there resorts to choose and have a holiday. With that we spent a good few weeks deciding the pros and cons of where to go. Weather we wanted to drive or fly somewhere, thankfully we live a 20 minute drive from Dover which makes the travel so much more handy where driving abroad. I was thinking about a little Tuscan holiday with the moutains as our back drop, like the holidays we had growing up. Sadly the attractions of some of the parks pulled me away and we decided on Le crux de vie point, In France. The benefit of it being only 2.5 hours from Calais was a winner, with two small toddlers and a noisy 8 year old being stuck in the car for hours can be tourture. Also we chose here in case we decided to go to Paris or even better Disneyland.

Our Home for the Week

The time came round before we knew it we were leaving for the holiday. We tried to prepare as much as we could but we ALWAYS forget something. Our France holiday last year it was only the blooming pushchair but the most drastic thing we forgot was tea bags and sugar! After a quick breakfast (followed by a bigger one on the boat) We were in France. The kids were beside them selves to be on a boat taking in the sights of France. “It doesn’t look like we have left Mum” Said Asti. He compared all the streets until he realised we were driving on the other side of the road.

Thanks for the Welcome Pack Eurocamp it had some teabags in which I was very grateful for!

When arrived at the park there was screams from the back as they spotted the pool and all the other attractions. We were greeted by the Eurocamp team and shown to our villa. By Villa we say little palace, we’ve been on this type of holiday before and this villa blew the others out of the water. Me and my husband looked at each other in disbelief, we saw it online but did not believe that we were actually here. To the furnishings and the quality of the furniture. There was tons of space and 3 bedrooms. There was lots of little cupboards meaning things can be kept away and out of sight. We had a little decking with a gate to stop the toddle beasts escaping. We were over joyed and feeling so blessed.

Our villa consisted of 3 bedrooms, one double with an ensuite and two double single cabin beds. The kids chose there beds with Asti and Ami sharing and Son Son on his own they even unpacked there clothes and wanted to put there duvet covers on so they could go under the sheets. We unpacked what we had and set of for a little walk to explore. We had a proper kitchen with a whistling kettle. There was a little table and chairs which was an added bonus, with two double doors that lead out to a wooden decking. Eurocamp provided us with an added safely gate to help us try to contain our toddlers.

Daddy loved all the BQQ's we had!

Every meal time was outside it was pure Bliss

Theres lots of things to do here at the park for us I think sometimes we are a little boring and tend to stick to things that we are familiar with (such as swimming). There was plenty of swimming to be had with indoor and outdoor pools. Even a little man made beach ( I deffo felt at home at the beach how ever small it was). Soft play, laser quasar and bowling for the rubbish weather days. With so much more out door activities and sports we were blown away with what to do.
