Beautiful day for a bike ride

It's been a beautiful day for a bike ride so we decided to ride down to the boys school so they could have a smooth area for them to ride around on. Luckily their school is at the end of our street and around the corner. We only had one mishap along the way, not a bad one, when Toby went full steam ahead down the hill on his little yellow bike. He lifts his feet up and just goes.........until he crashes.

.

When we got to the school the boys were a little shy about riding around, particularly as the school holiday program kids were in the playground.  We were also suprised to see the kindi farm there as well.  The kids were chasing rabbits, goats, chicks etc around the school yard.  As my boys were a little shy we continued on through the school to another play area for some riding.



Sam was practicing his slow riding skills by following the lines on the playground surface. I really think he’s ready for a bigger bike, he just looks a little squished on his bike even though we’ve raised the seat on it. 



Ethan was just happy cruising around and around, getting a bit cheeky here and there. Toby was trying to keep up with everyone and had the greatest joy in finding drain covers to ride over and tell me everytime he found one. And me, I was riding the scooter around and just soaking up fun time with the boys and taking pictures of course.



Toby discovered some ants and started counting them, although I think the ants were a bit quick for him .

The boys had relaxed enough to go and visit the kindifarm animals and the holiday supervisor was kind enough to let us have a little pat. Toby was rather taken by the little pig in the pen and was very excited to watch him drinking..... “The pig is drinking water mummy”.



Sam got to pat and hold his favourite of all animals, a rabbit. Afterwards it was....”I wish we had a bunny”.



Ethan and Toby were fascinated by these two gorgeous goats that were allowed to wander around the school. Toby was riding his little bike with the goats walking around him. Ethan was in giggles about the goat pooping all over the ground, as were all the other kids.




It has been a lovely day, to be finished off by the boys favourite Legos Star Wars, the complete saga, Wii game.

So - is there a kindizoo at the school - Louisa will want to move immediately.
We bought a rabbit when we were in Sydney once and smuggled it back to Qld - it was all fun and games till it chewed through an electrical cord and went insane - then it would lie in wait and leap out and bite our ankles. So my tip if you succumb to the rabbits pleas is lock up your electrical cords.

Unfortunately the kindifarm were just there for the morning, organised by the school holiday program. One day hopefully we'll have our own kindy farm on our own big bit of land along with Jaimie Olivers inside and outside kitchens and gardens etc etc, keeping in mind of course crazy rabbits that chew on electrical cords
