We decided to get hot and sweaty on this last day of the long weekend! Yup, we went cycling for almost three hours straight - because rent 2hrs get 1hr free ley - and I was surprised that the girls lasted throughout and didn't complain that they were tired at all.
The boy can't ride a two-wheel bike yet but he was stoked that he could ride on a child saddle on my bike, which even came with footholds and a handle bar that suited him perfectly. How cute! I love ferrying this boy and I amazed myself by conquering all the steep slopes with him and a basket full of bags and stuff without having to dismount and push - woohoo, I'm a Spartan, remember?
Well, the hubby and I even managed to take videos with my phone while cycling at the same time (swipe to see). Not advised at all because you can easily lose balance, but just once or twice for memory keepsake yeah. I also blasted pop songs from my Spotify play list and sang my heart out while cycling at the same time. Shiok!
Halfway through the ride, we also made pit stops for the kids to play, run around and spot insects like grasshoppers and butterflies. As a reward for all their hard work and determination, we all had an ice cream treat at the end - which melted too quickly under the scorching sun. Dinner was spent with the grandparents followed by playground time at not one, but two playgrounds - one even had sand and swings, their fav!
We definitely need to go outdoors more and do this more often!
P.S. Thanks to the nice couple who helped us to take this family shot and to the lady who shyly said that she follows my blog. Hope you guys had an awesome time too!

And there they go!
I was more than happy to be the cheerleader and photog, just that for that one hour, I had to keep running just to catch up with these kiddos (and hubby). Initially, I was worried about the little sister because she had only just learnt how to balance the bike when I brought her downstairs of our house to practise. But now that I saw how confident she was, how could break her fall, how she picked herself up when she fell, how she pushed on without doubt or fear, how she wasn't afraid of humps and slopes, that kind of resilience inspires me and reminds me that "Mama, it's okay to let go sometimes".
Yes dear, I know now. We just have to practise more on your starting and you'll be able to soar all on your own!

Bright skies. Scorching sun. Happy hearts.

Weekends are too precious for us to idle at home and since the hubby is around, we prefer to make use of our Saturdays and Sundays to gather with friends and family, explore our island or enjoy some outdoor fun as a family.
Yesterday was an exhausting day for us as we woke up early and made our way to ECP for a gathering with my JC classmates, followed by play time at Marine Cove. We returned home for a quick nap and to do the laundry before heading again for two bday parties on different parts of the island. The kids had so much fun playing and forgot that they needed to eat, haha! This was followed by supper at 11pm before we finally hit the sack past midnight. (Actually, the hubby and I slept even later because we decided to watch CSI on Netflix and enjoy some down time.)
Today, we are out to do what I've always wanted to let the kids do together - Cycle! Yup, we don't have enough bikes at home so we gotta rent them in order for them to be able to pedal together. It was a super hot day but I'm so happy we finally did it! Cheers to the girls for doing so well on their two-wheel bikes and to the boy on his cute trike too!
P.S. Did the hubby and I get to cycle? Haha. Of cos not! One had to stay with Ariel (who just learnt to cycle) and the other had to push Asher, of cos. I told ya, good exercise!!
