East Coast Park

It was the school holidays and the kids were able to spend time with their cousins at the beach.

A beautiful location - quiet and airplanes coming by every 5 minutes.

Playdate at the IMM

Had a playdate with some new friends at the IMM playground.

Singapore Bird Park

What a fun place to bring the kids - The Singapore Bird Park. Even today, my son still tells me he enjoyed his trip to the bird park. It's interesting to see a peacock upclose with its feathers spread open. It was hard getting by it though.

The gigantic manmade waterfall.

Pelican feeding time.

Beautiful bird but they don't smell that great.

Henderson Waves

Wow, I've been rather laid back, really need to get back to updating my blog! I've been back from Singapore and still haven't updated some pictures I've taken there. Here is the Henderson Waves we visited. It's an unique bridge that's part of a longer bridge system. This is the first time we're here, it wasn't here 3 years ago.

Part of the Southern Ridges, the map indicates where the Henderson Waves starts and ends.

What a unique structure!

Hard to be a photographer mom with a kid who always wanted to be held.

Who needs a playground?

Not a fan of spiders, especially LARGE spiders.

Singapore Zoo Visit

Took on the challenge to bring the kids to the zoo all by myself. What a beautiful day!

Heliconia Rostrata - a beautiful tropical plant found in many parts of Singapore. The Singapore Zoo is always so flourished with all sorts of vegetation, providing a feel of natural habitat.

Giant crocodiles fascinate the kids. An interesting fact shared at the zoo is that it takes very little strength to hold down the crocodile's jaws, as little as one rubber band. Wouldn't you think after all these years of keeping their mouths open and not getting "wild animals" caught in their jaws, they would learn to keep their mouths shut? You wouldn't see many animal pictures, it's hard to manage kids and snap at the same time. I was trying more so to enjoy the day with the kids.

Interesting wooden sculptures at the "Great Rift Valley of Ethiopia" where they showcased several baboons.

The new addition to the zoo since I was last there - a giant splash park! Splash parks seemed to be very popular everywhere in Singapore, which is great, it's so cooling to be there. Kids (except mine) enjoyed being splashed by the giant elephant bucket up top while it filled up.

Connor enjoying the splash park without letting go of his new toy.

Marina Barrage

My cousins are kind enough to drive us to the Marina Barrage. It's our first time there. What a beautiful open park. The kids seemed to be excited to be there.

Bubble fun with the cousins.

It was a beautiful day by the dam.

It's a place for kite enthusiasts!

The kids having fun on the bridge.

Playground fun

I got together with my old friend, Fiona, and her 2 little girls for a playdate with my boys.

The kids played very well together. Seemed to enjoy themselves to the merry go round.

The sisters were so much fun to be with. So adorable!

Honestly it's so much fun here, we could come here every week. Shaded playground and free water park all to ourselves ... more visits to come.
