The weekend before last we went to a park close to our home called Century Park (Shiji Gong Yuan). It is a huge park with lots of things to do. We went with another family, The Rocketts.
We all had a blast! After the boys played some football and were a major attraction for the locals, we decided to rent a bike to tour the park, what an experience that was!! After finally figuring out how much the rental cost was & waiting in line to get a bike, the journey began. We rented a bike that had 2 rows of seats with a basket in front for 2 kids. I can't even tell you how many people laughed at us as we SLOWLY move along the park trails. Denise & I did most of the work which consisted of 2 kids in the basket, 5 kids either in seats or hanging onto the back of the bike.
Needless to say, we were dubbed the "Clown Mobile" by our husbands as they saw us passing by - notice how I said Denise & I did all the work - the men walked around talking!!! Ron took a turn before we left and the chain fell off on one side giving them only 50% power...he needed the workout! We finished the afternoon with some ice cream and then left the park.
