My daughter went on holiday to Teneriffe with her now-husband. She had mentioned taking the minions with her. I had assumed she meant one of her old toys—which I thought was odd considering her age. A day or so into her holiday, I saw the minions in their usual place and asked my lady wife why Beth hadn't taken them. She pointed out that Beth meant the DVD of the film "The Minions! " Silly me. During that week, we went on a coach trip to Oxford. I took the little minion to take some fun photos for my daughter. Six years later, they have been comicfied—my new word—and now form this story.

Our day out was paid for by ourselves, this is an independent review of the adventure park. - Published: 2022-04-08 - Modified: 2023-03-15 - URL: https://www.beinggrandpa.com/fishers-farm-park/ - Categories: Places to Visit & Days Out with Grandchildren About Fishers Farm Park... Being Grandpa visited Fishers Farm Park with Evie (3) and Maisie (1). Our day out was paid for by ourselves, and this is an independent review of the adventure park. The park delivers a fantastic day out for parents and grandparents with younger children. Even in inclement weather, many indoor activities keep youngsters happy. Maisie enjoyed a few rides with mummy and daddy a week before her first birthday—oh, and grandpa. Being under two, she got in for free. As for Evie, she could not experience all there was to offer at Fishers Farm Park. After all, she is only three—we visited for her third birthday. Anyhow, she had a full day of adventure. Whether petting the animals or playing in the play areas, Evie enjoyed herself. As for the carousel, the teacups and the other rides, she loved them all.
