Scooter Races

Right now, the main outdoor activity for us is swimming in the ocean.   Sometimes we go to the pool (usually after the beach to wash off the salt and sand) and there is a playground about a mile from our house.  But, after 20 minutes of climbing around the equipment, the boys are usually pretty sweaty.  Over the past few weeks, Eddy and Peter have found another outlet for their abundant energy...scooter racing.   Over the course of a day, they will head outside about half a dozen times and zip around our house on their scooters.  Our house and small yard space is surrounded by a wall on all sides - a typical design in this region.  We have very little grass and most of the yard is tiled over, which makes an excellent scooter course.     

Scooting along the side of our house.
Getting ready to turn from the front yard to the side strip.
The front includes a covered car park.  We park our car on the street to give the boys more room for scootering.



The back of the house at the starting point for the course.  Maybe one day scooter racing will become an Olympic sport.  For these boys, training has already begun.
