Outside the box…
There’s not much to say about this really. Its just a delightful memory.
Shortly after we moved into our new house in Ubud, Bali, in 2010 I got to take part in this craziness with my kids. Our furniture hadn’t arrived yet – in fact, come to think of it I don’t know that we had even bought any! So there we were, upstairs in this huge open room, surrounded by paddy fields and excited to be settling in.
A little water goes a long way on a tile floor! I think the kids discovered this game first. You toss a little water on the floor and then slide around in it. I just helped them get organized and maximize the experience!
Within about ten minutes we had covered the floor from end to end and graduated to a level where we were using the walls to kick off and glide in unison. I love my kids and such out-of-the-box activities always leave me feeling like I’ve done a really good job as a dad. I love their spirit if adventure and the crazy games we get to play together. In hindsight helmets would have been a good idea. But we survived.
