Taking My Kids to Go on a Cycling Trip

Hello, everyone. I'd like to share my cling trip with my kids to the countryside in my village. This was my second time going there. On my first trip, I didn't have any chance to explore the area much, as it was already late.

This time I took my kids to go there. They have never been there before. Ever since we moved from the capital to my home village two months ago, my kids were not as happy as when we were in the city. Lots of time they were quiet. Well, it is understandable because they don't have friends where we live at the moment.

So, I decided to bring them on my cycling trip. In the beginning, they were just not overly excited. It's when we got to the dirt roads in the middle of the rice farms, they began to enjoy it. They were happy to see the beauty of the rice fields, the cows, the tractors, and then finally the shrimp ponds.

When we arrived in the ponds area, we had to park our bicycles. It's not easy to ride on the small paths around the ponds. There was even a small bridge that we only could walk on it.

After crossing the bridge, I took my kids to rest on a bench near one of the ponds. They seemed to enjoy the place that they were busy talking and commenting on how beautiful and lush the place was.

In the ponds area, to reach a certain area we had to cross the tiny bridge like this.

We managed to cross the bridge.

while they were having a rest, I went exploring the ponds area.

While my kids had a rest on a bench in the pond area, I continued walking around the area to take photos. I saw a man walking near one of the ponds who threw something to the pond. He was feeding the shrimp, he explained to me. He went on recommending me to some other beautiful places in the area to visit. He even said that he will add some boats to some of the bigger ponds or the stream so later people can go on a boat along the stream.

That tiny little red and white things in the middle between the two ponds was the man I talked to who at the moment I snapped this pic was feeding the shrimps.

There were more than 8 big ponds around there.

Let's go to the small hut, said, my son. This was on another side.

We had great fun spending time there. My kids said they wanted to go back there the next day.

It was time to cycle back home. We cycled again through the dirt road in the rice farms. After passing the dirt roads, there was a concrete path that leads to another rice field area. Apparently, after checking in google map, this path can lead us to our home too. So, we decided to cycle through this route.

.We had a great day, cycling through the rice farms.

In the middle of the path, we stopped for a rest. While resting, we looked to the sun in the west was about to disappear. But then the clouds covered the sun. Nevertheless, we had a great day going on the cycling trip.
