This afternoon, my kids were playing outside like they like to do. So since it was about time for them to come in to get cleaned up before dinner, I went to go check on them. What do I see?

I saw my six year old had drawn a circle with water. She was standing in the middle of it practicing really hard by herself some kicks and punches I taught her. She was really focused, which is great. Problem is when I went out to take a picture of her doing it, she went from focused to playful. She ran up to me and gave me a big hug and kiss. Then she did her chain punches to my stomach. She did about 30 or so in 20-30 seconds. Not bad for a six year old girl. They were pretty solid and focused too. Yeah! I catch her practicing stuff like that by herself from time to time. Makes my day.

On a side note, I teach a martial arts class to kids and parents together. It is mostly tai chi, but I incorporate some other martial arts and some more physical exercises in it too. After our last class, my little monkey goes, "Daddy, grab my arm." So I do and she proceeds to break out of it like she is taught. She does it a couple of times. Then my wife calls bull kaka. So she has my baby go to her where she grabs her arm. She proceeds to break free each time, my wife says, "OW!" several times. And we have a believer. laugh I didn't teach that stuff in the class yet, just at home.

So she runs off to take a bath.

Then my nine year old wanders in with a stick in hand. She goes, "Daddy, look at my spear!" She had painstakingly ground one end into a point. Cool!

My thought..."THAT'S MY GIRLS!!"

It's nice to see some kids still enjoy time spent outdoors & doing other activities.

Thanks buddy. We try to have our kids be busy with stuff not tv and video game related. They just love the outdoors and do all kinds of physical activities.
