Quite a weekend...
Its been a while since I brought Isabel to this new playground, I was on the way there as I was assigned to buy dinner that evening, Isabel wanted to follow, so along the way we detoured to the playground for a while.
Isabel loves the swing. You see her happy face, you know she really enjoys it. "Higher! Higher!" She'll shout. Her joyful laughter, all worth to let her mommy wait for dinner for a while longer.
After that, while near the food outlet, we saw a man renting out electrical motorized kiddy rides in a open space. I remember when Isabel was younger, she ever tried once, but didn't know how to control it well. Also with the lack of supervision from me, she rammed the mini car into a fruit stall. She was not hurt but she cried very hard, from then on she don't like to go near these again.
But she surprised me by asking me to let her ride one. I asked the man which is the slowest and placed her on it. she drove off with me running by her side helping to steer away from obstacles. Everybody in the eating place must be enjoying the new entertainment as they watch me run around the compound chasing after the mini bike.

Saturday, we headed to the beach with some friends and their kids for some fun in the sand and sun.
When we reached the beach, seems like a few thousands other families with kids also had the same idea as us. The whole beach was full of kids with their plastic scoops and pails.
We set the kids on the sand and started snapping photos like they are some kind of beach models in swimsuit contest, calling them to look at the camera while they were busy digging, and building sand castles. Beside taking photos of our kids, we helped to take photos of friend's children too, so that later we can do photo exchange.
Ally for the first time set eyes on the sea, set foot on the beach, feeling the moist sand between her toes, and let the sea water wash up her feet. She wanted to taste the sand but of course we have to stop her.
Ally testing the sea water for the first time.

Sunday evening we were invited to an unusual birthday party, everything was decorated for a normal party for children... but the birthday girl is not 6 years old, but 60 years old.
She mingled around the crowd from table to table, smiling from end to end. When it was time for cutting the cake, her grandchildren, grandnieces and grandnephews flocked to her so ready to sing the birthday song for her.
It was a perfect picture of a contended grandma.
Mind you... this grandma drives a taxi to past time.

Our children's laughter is music to our ears...
Spending time with them is the best we can do.. Looks like you guys had a nice weekend.
There is a child in every person.. so, aunty was given the child-like party... we all feel young, don't we?
Ah, the grandma was celebrating her birthday in a way that her grandchildren will enjoy it.. How cool!
Beach trip looks fun. This is the good thing about living in an island.. beaches are so easily accessable.
my son loves the swings too!
can rent out the bike one ah? hmmm... maybe I should consider renting out mine to recoup my investment... LOL!
Malaysia seem never see ppl rent out any eletrical bike! Perhaps egghead is the first one la!:P
Looks like a fun-filled beach day! :) I've only brought Damien to the beach once..must bring him there again, rather than "shopping centre" all the time! :P
Cool Grandma with a cool birthday party! :)
I think those peoples in the eating place must be very amused by the scene of daddy chasing around the bike and little girl!
Shawn doesn't know how to take such rides either. He's always bending down to look at the wheels turning. Or he'd be pushing these rides instead of riding in them ;p
Driving taxi to pass time? That's quite an expensive thing to do. Taxi one day's rental alone is already about $80 ;p It's hard enuff to break even as it is ;p
Your weekend looks fun indeed. I have yet to bring bb to sandy beach. Wonder how is it like for bb.. :) Nice pic of Ally's foot on sand and water.
That's one cool grandma!
Wow, what an interesting grandma!!
