Usually I would pick Marcus up from school and head straight home for lunch, as I always reckon it is too hot for the boys to stay outdoors at that time. Few days ago, I decided it's time to take the boys outdoors despite the hot midday sun, after getting inspired by my fellow friends' hectic schedule.
We didn't do much, just went to the East Coast Park for 3 hours and the boys had fun. Marcus spent a lot of time just walking and pushing the stroller around, while I carried Nicholas and talked to him about the clouds, sea, ships, waves, swimmers and sandcastles. The little baby's eyes were full of wonder as he took in everything. He shouted at the swimmers and watched attentively as the waves crashed in. He laughed at the old man who swept the leaves and chuckled when the guy waved his broom around. Marcus asked a guy from the National Environment Agency if he could sit on the buggy (just like the golf buggy) as he drove past and the man was kind enough to oblige the boy's request. He was a little bashful but very excited, though he was too shy to ask the man to move it.
We didn't bring any toys or mats with us, but we should the next time. Perhaps a picnic basket and plenty of spare clothes too since the weather turned out to be great - a little hot but still breezy. With shady trees, a good hat and some sunblock, we could all have more fun. Next time...
