At the Lake

Yesterday, our daughter and 3 year old grandson visited for Father's Day - brilliant sunshine - so we went for a walk to the lake and our grandson showed a particularly skillful throwing action as he threw pieces of bread to the swans. He had been to the gym earlier in the day so it was a very active day for him. Physical activity is so important as kids are growing and developing - our grandson loves swimming and gym, and hitting the hockey stick - and it is wonderful to share these activities together!  As adults, we spend too much time behind a desk at work or at home or in front of the TV - if we count up the hours I'm sure it would be shockingly high - but it seems that for some kids their life behind the desk at the computer or watching hours on end of television starts way too early. Sunshine and physical activity - two of life's essentials!
