...this is our park!
As Bali is non existant with parks like the ones we have scattered around our neighobourhoods back at home the rice fields have become our new park!!!
We are all taking great pleasure from the simple walks we do together in the fields after the kids get home from school and its easy as they are right at our door step. They have become a place where the kids can walk, run and often play tag through the grid like maze, working out how to keep balance on the small thin tracks without falling into the mud....often impossible! Of course we also have an eye out for the joe blakes (snakes)...not unlike Australia.
Stopping along the way to chat in broken bahasa to the farmers and trying out their bird scaring devices is also a novelty, and the locals get a kick out of it too!
So for now this is entertainment and diferent for the kids, but i still do hear the voices of the 2 eldest saying they miss certain things back at home...the parks being one!
Reading the always beautiful papier mache digital issue 11
Wow, this is amazing..what a fantastic experience for your children. Enjoy! :)

those paths are so cool...like a green balance beam...i think my two would spend most of the time "falling" into the mud :)

Thanks Judith, i think they would have cabin fever if the fields were not so close.
KP, we miss you too.X
Jen, Thank you, exactly like a green natural balancing beam. Mine fall in often, we are cleaning the sticky mud off often!
