Searching for a sport activity.

I'm trying to get a sporting activity that we as a family can do together.

Today we've went kite-ing. Papa borrowed a kite off his office mate, off we went to the local kite-ing hill. Jnr's not very happy today, and was moaning all the way as we make our way to the top of the hill. But he was enthusiatic enough tho, to go running over towards the horizon to see what's over there.

Anyway, found a sppt we liked, and after much un-tangling and laying out of the kite, we're ready and Jnr's kinda gone bored with it already, even before we started. The wind was not blowing at all, but the occasional breeze was enough to get the kite up and swooping and crashing to the ground. We met 13 years old Khalid. He was also kite-ing, and he help us by showing us how to do it. He was a very helpful and informative young man.

After a few chase after his dad, Jnr gave up and slump to the lovely soft grass and just lay there, slumbering on the ground. He was complaining about a pain on his calf, so me and Papa ended up piggy backing him all the way back to the car, which was a rather long way, and Jnr's grown over the summer and is no longer tiny and light anymore.

Well at least we've accomplished something today. We've tried kite-ing and decided it's not it. Next time, we'll try golfing. Jnr has consistently stuck with golfing, so maybe it's time we take him seriously and buy him a proper golf set and take him onto the golf course.

On the way home, Jnr complained about feeling bored. I do agree, I am feeling bored too. Time for some new interest but what?
