Learn: I had no idea about some of the leisure activities that exist in Modesto. For example, I had no idea there was a cycling festival here! Ugh...I wish I had a bike...I'm going to steal my brother's bike tomorrow. I also didn't know how important it is for us to just have fun and relax...without t.v. or movies. I'm going to tell my husband to go to the park with my daughter and I. The fresh air and relaxing will benefit the three of us.
Act: When I was young, I enjoyed bike riding. I was never really involved in sports when I was younger...I was quite fat. I did enjoy playing tag. I was regrettably never into any physical activites until I was in my late teens. I started jogging then. All the physical activity I had in my high school years were because of my P.E. class. I enjoyed ultimate frisbee and capture-the-flag games...even though I never captured a flag -.- For my activity in Modesto I walked to the soccer field/golf course/park/ baseball field by my house...John Thurman Field. I took my daughter in a stroller. When we got to the field I laid a blanket down on the grass so my daughter could play. She is only 14 months and still isnt too comfortable walking so she mostly crawled around. She just played around with a few balls I brought along and enjoyed pulling grass out of the dirt. After she got tired of playing I put her back in her stroller and did a lap around the golf course. I would have enjoyed it more if the path was paved. It was only 50% paved and the rest was dirt. The stroller kept getting stuck in the dirt...which is irritating when one is trying to speed walk.
Imagine: I am going to hold a weekly activity day at a local park. There will be a capture-the-flag game!; an area for kids and another for adults. There will also be a maze area! But it will not be made of corn but of grass!...which I will make grow super fast with my laser vision! There will also be other games like that one game where you tie your leg to another person's and try to reach a finish line....awesome. I will also shoot poisonous banana seeds at people's feet to make them dance and get them moving!...I kid, I kid...or do I? >_> I will fund all of this because I am filthy rich, dammit!
This foo' is about to have his flag captured! WAHA!
Aw...he got lost on my grass maze. :[
like the drawings.....very cute
ReplyDeleteI want to go in a grass maze! I'm sure you will all enjoy the park together.
ReplyDeleteAhahaha your pictures are too funny. Especially your capture the flag picture . Thats how competitive I am :-)
ReplyDeletechildren need to get out more rather than stay inside. i didn't know there was a cycling festival very ineresting. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh man, I knew someone who got his flag captured once. He was never the same again. Years of therapy later, he's still a broken man. :P
ReplyDeleteHa! I like how you enjoyed Capture the Flag even though you never actually captured the flag. I always loved dodgeball in school, even though I was literally always the first one out...then it would be time for a solitary game of tetherball. If these ARGs can inspire you and your family to go out to the park more, I think that's a really awesome thing - and you'll probably have some great new memories to show for it.
ReplyDeleteit's cool you got some exposure in school. I think tag is a universal game played everywhere. I don't think you can go anywhere that hey don't play tag. Same thing with pulling grass, unless you in the desert then you just play with sand.
