Come fly with me!

Last Saturday, we had some friends visiting from KL, and for want of something different and intriguing for the kids, we decided to meet at the Esplanade field for a kite-flying session in the morning.

Now, it has been ages since I last flew a kite, but I knew the feeling was out-of-this-world.  And I knew that it would be something that Ethan wouldn’t wanna miss.

There….look at the kites…Ethan flew the one on the left.  He’d borrowed the kite from Uncle Kin Hoon. 

Of course, Daddy had to release it into the air and allow the kite to take flight first.

Ethan was chasing Daddy all around the field, going, “I wanna fly the kite, Daddy!”  And so, when the kite was flying nice and high, Daddy passed it to Ethan to fly.

Check out that look of intense concentration. 🙂

..and a turnaround pose for Mommy to take a picture.

Ethan had so much fun! …and he also got a tan! LOL

We walked over to Fort Cornwallis after that.  We had never been inside, despite being residents of Penang for so long.

Here we are, posing by the statue of Sir Francis Light.

…and Ethan *reading* something, also showing off his newly-acquired tan and rosy cheeks.

And the *compulsory* pose with the canon.

And finally, my attempt at getting a rather nice shot of the wall and canons:
