CYCLING AND KITE FLYING

Its the week long (term 1) school holidays. Brought the kids to east coast for cycling on Saturday. Finally aloy has learnt how to ride a bicycle but still need more practise... as for ashley, she too has figured out (that cycling is moving the legs in circular motions and not up down up down) but on 4 wheels for now. Taught her how to use the brakes and bell. Then she started ringing the bell every time she sees anyone coming towards her, even if they are not obstructing her way. I guess people will just think is cute seeing this little girl constantly ringing the bell, if its an adult, people might think this person is a nut-case. When we got home, aloy was proudly annoucing to madelyn that he has finally learnt how to cycle and she is the only person in the family who don't.



Then on Monday, we brought the kids to west coast for kite flying. Luckily, I bought two kites cos aloy's one did not really survive long, did a nose-dive into the ground and torn apart. All of us had a fun time, trying to launch the kite into the air (not an easy task if there is not enough wind), keeping the kite up, getting it higher, and not getting ourselves entangle with the string.



Took some videos...





I think to kids, they don't always have to take a holiday out of the country to have fun... doing simple things like cycling and kite flying are also as fun, especially if they are done together with mummy and daddy.

Next few activities on the list...
1) Botanic Gardens
2) National muesum
3) Nigh Safari
