Kite flying & rugby at the ECP

Since Mana Mana Beach Club closed down we haven't gone to the East Coast Park as a family. I was there a couple of weeks ago with Kei and Chie and thought it's time for us to spend an afternoon there.

We had a late lunch at the Hawker Centre, then headed to the beach.

We parked ourselves where Mana Mana used to be. The ground is now covered with some grass. Look at our kids - they are so grown up!! 

Oliver's finger is not 100% yet so he was only allowed to run around and practice kicking. He was very happy that he could play some rugby again.  

Matthew and Luca spent quite some time on the beach running up and down with the kite. There was the right amount of wind.  Could have been better with some more but we managed to entertain the kids for a long time. 

Lovely to see Luca running around so much! Which meant not constant talking right beside you. 

He was teaching Ashley how to fly the kite too. He is a very good brother. 

Our fun afternoon didn't last long as we could see a huge storm moving very fast from the city. We had to pack up quickly and went home. Next time we go, I will make sure we have more drinks, packed fruit and a picnic blanket.
