School holidays aren’t so bad …
I wanna be a fireman.
I wanna be a doctor.
I wanna be an astronaut.
I wanna be … the president of the world!
Celebrate your kids by encouraging them to dream big. Check out five heroes you and GrabOne can encourage your kids to be like these school holidays.
Lydia Ko. She’s just 16 and already pretty much the best in the world. Her goals for the rest of the year? To do well with her studies and hang out with friends. Until her next golf tournament when she might have gone pro, that is. Introduce the kids to the wonderful world of golf at Lilliputt Mini Golf or Lost in Time Mini Golf.
Torvill and Dean. OK, so your kids are probably far too young to remember this Biellmann-spinning flip-jumping pair, but you’re welcome to relive those glorious 80s ice-skating days yourself while you watch the kids attempt to get around the rink at Paradice Ice Skating.
Ian Ferguson. They reckon he’s one of New Zealand’s most successful Olympians ever, winning three gold medals at the 1984 Olympic Games and a fistful of others throughout his Olympic kayaking history. These days he doesn’t compete; he introduces other people to the wonderful world of kayaking instead. Grab a single or double kayak hire at Ferg’s Kayaks.
Mark Todd. The dude’s a legend. It doesn’t matter how long in the tooth he gets, he and his horses just keep on going. Enrol the kids in a pony riding lesson at Horse Riding Auckland Limited.
John McClane. He’s an ideas man, he’s got natural protective instincts, he’s not afraid to jump in front of a landing plane in an attempt to rescue people, and he’s pretty funny to boot. Give your kids their own Die Hard day at Delta Force Paint Ball.
