Kite Flying
Places Kids Love October 20th, 2009Yesterday was school holiday because of Deepavali (a festival celebrated by Hindus). We were in the mood to celebrate too, for a different reason though.
So for the first time, we bought a kite which cost more than $1. *giggle* We have been buying kites that are of poor quality but still fly-able. Yesterday, we decided to invest in ‘Big Bird’ (kids’ choice).
Our spirit was as sunny as the weather, taking turns to wear Allan’s sunglasses, we tried to fly the kite….
It didn’t even lift off the ground for more than 5 seconds and the string broke.*faint*
In the end, the kids had more fun chasing each other with the kite….
We’ll be back again, for sure, with a better string…
Since, kite flying didn’t work out, the water play definitely did. As usual, the kids had splashing great fun at OUR favourite hangout Marina Barrage.

At least they had fun! The same thing happened when we tried to fly a kite this summer. But that was a cheap kite.

Your pictures really remind me of the great outdoor activities the family can get involved in, rather than shopping and more shopping. Thank you

We have been to MB for kite-flying and it was real hot, though the scenery was great! Kite flying is one of the activities we enjoy doing as a family and we often join the crowd at Sengkang.
