Today was not just about shopping. After breakfast with the family of my wife’s cousin, we met up in the hotel playground. My son was eager to play and look after their two sons. While my daughter wanted to swim, she also helped to play and look after them.
Their mother went for a walk while her husband and I talked while making sure my kids looked after his properly. We talked about a range of issues, including our children and of course, I got the chance to say how amazing both mine are. My son loves being an older brother to the two younger boys and my daughter enjoyed mocking after and playing with them.
Later we went into Kandy to eat in the food court and then some of us had a go on the virtual reality machines. My kids loved the one they went on and later, after eating some ice cream, I went on the other. And it was terrifying. When it comes to rides, the thing that scares me most is the g-force as you accelerate to the ground. And this machine terrified me. My daughter had a laugh watching me on it as well as apparently, I screamed. Which I am sure that I did not do. Afterwards it was a shop for some clothes and then later we split up.
My daughter wanted to swim in the pool, but her chest has been an issue as she has a cold. While the air was warm when we got back, it was not hot enough for her to swim while I’ll, so instead I packed for the next leg of our journey. My wife and son continued to shop and had both good and bad experiences doing so.
