Backlog: Kite Flying @ West Coast Park - 04/10/2009

Children's Carnival: Look at the innovative games!
Hahaha!! This picture looked so funny!! Trishelle was
very friendly but K was not at all appreciative.
Ryan found out how to use the tree to lessen his load. Hahha!!

Ryan setting up the kite & the girls had fun flying it!

So funny! They looked like they really knew how to fly a kite!

Kites soaring in the sky. Can you locate our kite?

It's the one under the black coloured kite.

The men flying their stunt kite. I especially like the picture of K

pointing to the kite which Daddy was flying.

The girls had loads of fun at the sandpit.
K really made herself at home!

Notice she walked everywhere barefooted?!

Hehhehe...that's my girl!

It was a bright, cheery Sunday morning. Indeed, it was a good day for flying kites! Letting K have a go at flying a kite has always been on my mind ever since we missed Act 3's Kite Flying Festival a few months back due to bad weather. We were joined by Auntie Joycelyn and family.

We chanced upon a children's carnival at West Coast Park as it was only a couple of days after Children's Day (1st October). I was in awe of the games/attractions at the carnival and can't resist posting some of the pictures here.

There was a kite for each family and we were so embarassed for we do not even know how to piece the kite together! Yes! We know nuts! Luckily a very nice uncle came to our rescue. I think he had probably ran out of patience to see the four of us cracking our brains, trying to figure where exactly should the metal attachments go. Hahhaha!!! My kite had a missing piece so this kite is coined a white elephant :( However, after our kite was setup properly, it was good to go!! As it was a windy day, the kite was literally heading to the skies as soon as the string was tied...quite effortless I should say and it flew pretty high:) The girls love the kite and tried their hands on it but I thought they love the sand pit, which is only a stone's throw away, more. Hubs also brought along his "antique" stunt kite which he bought in Australia ages ago and the men had a good time flying it. After the park, we went for lunch at West Coast Plaza.

I like West Coast Park more than East Coast Park because it has a big sandpit which the girls love and a big open field for flying kites and running about. The human traffic is significantly lesser than its counterpart; I do not have to worry that my girl may get in the way of the roller bladers, cyclist etc.
