Rufina and Kite Flying

About 2 weeks ago my grandparents arrived back from their holiday in England. When they are with us we do things like play French cricket. In French cricket you have to defend your legs when the bowler bowls underarm to try and hit below the knees.We also play a game called leggy which is a game for 2 players where you stand about 3 meters away from each other with your legs apart and you have to try and throw the ball through your opponent's legs.

A couple of days later we went to Rufina. Rufina is where they make a lot of Chianti wine. We drove up to a view point and there was a lovely view of the town and rows and rows of vines. Then we went and had some ice cream. The flavours that I had were chocolate and crema. Then we went home. We drove for a bit but then we found out that our sat nav was taking us the wrong way. That made our drive a bit longer.

When my dad was in Brussels he bought me a kite. It is yellow, orange and red. When the wind lifts it up it looks like a flying mattress. The strings are about 30 meters long. When you pull on the right hand side string it flys to the right and the same with the left. If you do it fast enough you can do a figure of eight. I have a lot of fun flying my kite. Here are some pictures of the things I have written about.
