Yesterday was a stinker in Melbourne so I sent around a group text seeing if anyone wanted a beach play date to which I received negative responses back except for one friend who said come on over here instead. I texted back "thanks and do you have the slip and slide set up?" Yes they did so the little man and I hot footed it into the car with bathers and scooter and a few treats for the kids.
After playing inside for about one hour it was lunch time and then outside in the blistering sun for some fun on the backyard lawn! Bathers on and sun screened up out ran the kids with squeals of delight, especially from the little man as he had never seen or played on one before. After the initial shock of the cold water it was fun times ahead.
They had numerous snacks whilst outside playing and entertained themselves for at least 3 hours solid. There were no tears, amazingly, and little fighting over the toys that ended up on the slip and slide. Sitting there and chatting away with my girlfriend is was surprising how quick the time went and how great the kids were.
Maybe we should all invest in old fashioned fun every now and then for our kids so that they get to enjoy things that we did growing up. There was talk of the sprinklers on the lawn and running through them as well as kids ..... ahh memories......
