I have to admit that I am not someone who can stay at home all day, everyday. I like to be out and about, even if it is just a brisk walk to the shops and back.
Thankfully my friend Joanne from Charliemoos has the same philosophy as me and we often team up for some outdoor adventures with the kids in tow and this week was no exception.
She suggested we take the kids to her local skatepark with their scooters, so I loaded the kids, their scooters and their warm coats into the car and headed over to West Moors.
The kids were eager to get going and happily scooted along an overgrown path to the skatepark. I have to admit that I have not taken them to a skatepark before so I was initially wary, however I needn’t have been as they were happily going over the smaller humps and racing around the park until they spotted it.
A huge icy puddle!
After some initial prodding with a stick and tentative steps the ice started to crack into large pieces, so the girls decided to attempt to build a Frozen inspired palace and see if they could produce rainbows (a great fun lesson about refraction).
This lasted around 10 minutes before all the kids decided that it was much more fun smashing the ice to pieces.
I love that you get your children outdoors as much as possible, now if only I could persuade my two to wrap up and head out on cold day adventures
Looks like great fun.
Looks like lots of fun was had. My boys adore the skate park. it is so much fun on scooters
Looks like they had so much fun! I enjoyed outdoors very much as a kid, now as I get older it’s harder to go out and have a walk, there is always something to do 🙂
hehe! The wonder of what’s around us! Although I did get a bit jittery when they started throwing the ice!
Looks like you all had a good time and so much fun.
Sebastian is getting so grown up now! Great fun.
I can only ever get to the skate park when all the older children are there and it’s not really suitable for mine then. I love the children’s fascination with the ice.
Looks like great fun! Cant beat a bit of smashing stuff up!
Looks like everyone had a lot of fun! #countrykids
My two love the skate park although we don’t have a great outdoor one, just the big indoor one which is quite expensive x x
There is nothing better than wrapping up warm and getting outdoors . Looks like all the kids are having fun.
I have to admit I used to love being out and about, now any sign of wind or rain and I want to be tucked up inside listening to it.
Wonderful simple outdoor fun. We don’t have a good skate park here but it reminds me of the one in Lewes when we visit Nick’s Mum. She keeps scooters in the garage and it is always the first place the kids take them. The ice added an extra dimension here, I love the frozen pile too. thanks for sharing with me on Country Kids
kids always seemed to be fascinated by ice! #countrykids
ice is so beautiful! xx
Great fun being had. We tend to go out whatever the weather, it is good for the soul x
