Yesterday, the three of us—Oliver, Lewis, and I—headed over to the Rural Life Museum in East Kilbride for a lovely day out. The sun was shining, but it still had a bit of a chill in the air, making it the perfect day for a little adventure. Armed with a picnic, we were ready to make the most of it!

Since it’s the Easter break, the museum had some fun activities lined up for the kids, all centered around bees. We joined in on a candle-making activity using beeswax, which was super simple but fun. The boys got to roll a sheet of beeswax around a wick, and they loved making their own candles. It was such a lovely, creative activity!

Afterwards, we took the 10-minute walk up to the farm area, where we saw a bunch of baby lambs, pigs, and calves. The boys were absolutely enchanted with the little animals, and we spent some time wandering around the farm, checking out the other animals and the farmhouse. To get back down to the museum, we hopped on the tractor—what a fun way to travel!

Back at the museum, the boys were fascinated by the old tractors on display, and of course, they couldn’t resist a visit to the adventure park for a bit of playtime.

We ended up spending a great couple of hours there, and to top it off, the museum now offers an annual pass for the same price as a single entry, which was an unexpected bonus!

All in all, it was a wonderful way to spend the day, and we’ll definitely be back soon for more fun.
