It's Family Funday!

90% of the times my schedule is booked completely (as many other parents) and it is difficult to have family fun on a weekly or monthly basis. This year I started marking my calendar with specific dates where I leave my phone at home and I dedicate the entire day to my girls.  

Let's face it, we live in a world where the only thing kids know is iPads/tablets and TV. Books have been replaced with tablets and family fun with TV. By the time kids hit age 2, they're iPhone pros. It's a sad story but true. This decreases the amount of self confident in our children and their lack of social skills. It is so important to show your kids a good time by doing outdoor activities. After all, that's real fun!

Today I'm sharing with you all the exciting day we spent with Wheel Fun Rentals. If you're not familiar with Wheel Fun Rentals they are a rental company trying to bring back the 'family fun' we used to know. They offer a variety of bicycles, scooters, pedal boats, electric cars and so much more (view here). They have locations all over the USA. In NY they have 5 different locations. I highly recommend this for a family day out to have fun or relax (on the boats). The prices are decent and the staff is super helpful. Their goal is to make your families experience unforgettable.

We rode our bikes around the park for about two hours. -I would recommend bringing water and eating before arriving. -This is also a nice area to picnic in, bring food and drinks then ride bikes all day. We raced, we stopped to watch the ducks and we joked.. a lot! We felt connected. No one spoke about the new app that came out, or the ridiculous plaything they wanted from the infomercial. My girls were happy, not because they got a new toy but because we were doing something together. It was pure bliss.


 If you're wondering, we're riding the Single surrey and Zareena is riding the Chopper. Find one near you (here)
