Scooting About Town

As a treat for the Summer holidays, Daddy Hazelden and I decided to buy the girls new scooters as their previous ones were not only only getting a bit old and tatty, they were also a little bit too small for them now, what with all the growing up they keep doing!!!

This was also a great excuse to go for a nice bimble about town in the glorious sunshine that is still gracing us with it's prescence.

My little Gracie is getting quite brave, when she first started scooting she didn't actually scoot, she instead just walked along pushing the scooter beside her. Just look her in action below though :


And just prove how clever she is, she even managed to lift her other foot off of the floor. Not a huge achievement to most people but I was definitely one proud mummy!!!


Now Elise and Freya are old pros on their scooters now so they decided the best way to have fun was to race each other. Freya started off in the lead but her older sister sped past her and claimed victory!!

       
Little Layla is still a tad too young to be scooting about town so I carried her on my back so she could watch everything that was going on over my shoulder and of course this made great exercise for mummy too :)


So how do your kids travel about town, do they love to scoot or are they more a fan of riding a bike??

  5. That's a great scooter as the wheels are nice and chunky and it looks like it would take more to topple over. I don't think there's anything wrong with scooting - it's great exercise. As long as they respect the other people on the pavement, it's a great idea x
