Their New Toy

I have been searching for a nice kid's tent. We go to the beach pretty often, and a tent comes in useful especially when Greg wants to stay away from the sun and Gareth wants to take his little naps. I found some at Takashimaya. They have the ones with Dora/ Thomas the train/ Sesame Street but I do not found them suitable. Those tents are only suitable to be used at home and there are warnings that they cannot be placed under the sun for too long. Also those tents require you to put an additional groundsheet. Well, anyway, I found something interesting at Early Learning Centre. It consists of two tents and a long crawl way. I was so excited about it. So were my two boys when they saw the whole set-up.

Greg took the bigger tent, so Gareth had no choice but to take the smaller one. The two boys kept crawling and playing peek-a-boo... It's good that the equipment could be separated and used individually. well, one not-so-good thing is that I could not quite join in the fun. The long crawling tunnel was so small that I nearly got myself stuck in there! Greg was so excited about his tent that he decided to sleep in his tent for that night. He was so full of ideas, and he thought it was adventurous enough for him to sleep inside the tent. See those things he put in there. Gareth couldn't find the big tent and crawled into the room. He screamed with joy when he found Greg and the tent. He crawled in to take one blanket out but Greg wanted it so the two boys ended up playing tug-a-war. But when it was really time to sleep, Greg decided that he was not brave enough to sleep solo in his tent. He still crawled onto my bed to sleep in between KengYong and I.

Somehow when I see the excitement and the fun the boys have, it's simply priceless.
