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.

Lot One

We've made a new friend on our trip. It's great to meet some stay-at-home moms and be able to arrange playdates to stay busy.

It was such a hot day that the ground was scotching. Connor burned his feet and started to walk on his heels even on cooler grounds.

A smile that will brighten everyone's day.

Visiting the triplets

Once again, our cousins are kind enought to drive us to go visit my brother's triplets. On our drive there, I observed an adorable photo op.

My other niece who looks like a Japanese doll.

The girls love to smile and they enjoyed the company from their cousins.

I always thought it's important to capture all the expressions of a child, even when he or she is crying. Because looking back at these pictures, it brings back fond memories of being a parent, no matter how tough it might have been.

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.

Splash Park Galore!

Our first time to the Lot One shopping mall splash park. The kids really enjoyed it, great for toddlers.

With so many visits to the splash parks, Devon is starting to conquer his fear of water in his eyes.

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.

West Coast Park

Our first time to the West Coast Park since we were back. One of the very few sandy playground left in the country. It's interesting that you don't find any playgrounds with swings here anymore.

This pirate ship playground is somewhat challenging to a two-year-old.
