Tickle Time with Mummy

Back in June we went camping up in Santa Cruz, CA at one of the KOA chain of campgrounds. KOA are great as they really cater to families. There are all kinds of events and activities for kids and parents. Parents can really relax, their children run around and have fun without us having to worry about the safety or whereabouts of them. There was an endless stream of kids on rental banana bikes cruising the campground all weekend. Kids ruled that joint.
On the Saturday there was a movie screening and marshmallow roast down in the lower field. They had one of those inflatable screens and a projector setup. It was cold too, evidenced by the coats and gloves, up on the NorCal coast. Waiting for the movie to start, The Sprite and ElectricMommy had a tickle showdown. I love these clips as they remind me how much fun we had and how happy we all were on that vacation. All three of us really enjoyed ourselves.

Semanal08 : Week13 - Fun With Water & Leaves

Click to Play On a chill but pleasent spring morning, our little Sprite finds many an amusement in the back garden wonderland of fallen leaves, puddles, dirt and all manner of things to get himself filthy dirty and soaking wet. Oh well, boys will be boys. Anyhow, it keeps him busy and occupied for a time. Even if it means we have to rake up the leaves again after the G-Express ploughed through them for the umpteenth time.

Book Time With The Sprite

Click to Play The Very Very Very Lazy Lazy Ladybug as read by His Spriteness. One busy morning as I am rushing about the house deep in my morning ritual of putting on my cornflakes and pouring nice cold milk over a bowl of underwear, I heard a voice. It was talking, conversing, telling a story. I easily recognised the voice as that of my own child (now THAT'S parenting for ya) but it was different somehow. It wasn't whining, pleading for some sticky sugary food item he is not allowed. It wasn't crying because the house next door was painted the wrong color. It wasn't screaming, shrieking at the top of his lungs, just to see if it's true  that Daddies eyeballs start to bleed from sound over 21,000hz frequency and 120db of amplitude. No, this sound was quite, peaceful, conversational. I stopped to listen for a moment, half expecting to hear a secret conversation with a new found imaginary friend, or worse. For him to be speaking in Aramai...

Semanal08 : Week 15 - A Sprite On The Sand

Click to Play On a warm, sunny Spring day the family took a little jaunt to the seaside. Mr. G loves the beach, and makes a beeline for the water the moment we release him from the car. So, we spent a Sunday relaxing down at Huntington Beach, looking out over the glistening Pacific Ocean. It was early in the season so parking was easy to find, and the spacious beach was practically deserted. On this day we took a stroll along the beach path, went along to the end of the pier and looked at the seagulls, got some food from one of the vendors along the path and had a little picnic on the sand. Followed by some fun and frolic, and the inevitable indigestion. Our attempts at building sand castles were thwarted by Senør Destructo himself, his Royal Spriteliness. But we did end up finishing the day off with some ice cream. A visit to the beach is never complete without it.
