Our time in the US helped us to appreciate the outdoors.
Going to the malls now meant getting something or going for meals. We no longer enjoy hanging around or strolling at malls. Maybe it is also because there are just so many people in that limited space.
However, the outdoors in Singapore are not very enjoyable unless we go early in the morning or late in the evening when the weather becomes much cooler.
One Sunday, dh and I were thinking of where to let the kids' spirits fly. It is the examination period and giving Kai the space to run and relax will be good for him. We decided to head for the West Coast. We have never been there, that was our very first. It reminded us once again that if we do not tread on the unknown, we would never be able to discover hidden treasures. It was just a short 10 minutes cab ride to the West Coast Park.
In the park, there are at least six to seven different types of playgrounds. As it is near the coast, there are lots of ships and boats. And yes, SPACE!
Spotted some toad-stools - mushrooms not edible. And have we got a visitor - a squrriel
Kai & Ann were 'disturbing' some leaves. These are called touch-me-not or mimosa. Once they are tocuhed, the leaves will close up.
Notice those nearer to Kai's fingers, they have closed up while those away from his fingers, remain opened. Ann calls them 'shy plants'
At this park, hand-painted drawings are found all over the place, on the rubbish bin, pillars etc...I thought that's really a nice idea and these were painted by kids because there were names of the painter and the school which they came from
The kids had lots of fun playing at the different playgrounds
It was a fun-filled day indeed... we will be back!
