Summer Bounce 2016

Last Friday the kids all went to the annual Abacus School Summer Bounce and had a great time. The weather was glorious which was a blessing in disguise given the torrential rain the previous day. The event started with a karate demo from Ni-Sen and Brandon joined in to help out. He did some great kicks and some pad work with Sensie.

 

After the karate demo that was pretty much the last I saw of Brandon for the next 2-3 hours as he was off playing with his mate Brett on the bouncy castles. So I was left looking after Holly whilst Tina did her FAPS duty. Joshua was also off playing with his friends but unlike Brandon, I at least got to see him every 10-15 minutes. This was only because he kept coming back to me to ask for money for a slushie, then an ice-cream, then a toy sword, then a burger and so on and so on.

 

Holly loved the bouncy castles and was completely fearless. She even climbed up the tallest bouncy slide there and then came down on her belly. There was much older kids around her who were climbing to the top and then bottling it and needing rescuing. Holly on the other hand would hit the bottom and then come running up to me pointing her finger and saying "one more"!

Nice height on his round house kick, needs to turn the back foot more.

The demo ends and the kids all race off to get changed and hit the bouncy castles.

 

I was left escorting Holly around the fete taking her from one bouncy castle to the next.

Holly fearlessly comes down a giant inflatable slide much to the surprise of onlookers.

 

Not really related to the summer bounce, but Holly now has her first scooter and she loves it. Its a Disney Frozen scooter which we picked up in town for her on Saturday.
