June Holidays: Botanic Gardens

It's never easy to keep kids home during holidays when you see them 24/7. Nothing beats bringing them out. Mommy arranged with Aunt Jo to take a little walk and we met at Botanic Gardens new MRT station to begin our mid morning walk. Yes, Mommy with all three kids!

It's good to have the kids back to nature, feeling the greens. We were talking about the different flowers and the different leaves (ranging from shapes to network and parallel veins). The kids even requested to head for the old tree for a climb. They were a little apprehensive initially, especially Abel, when they got on the tree as there were other more abled foreign kids hurrying them. After some encouragement, they each made a mark today by conquering their fears, reaching a new height in tree climbing.

We literally walked from one end to the other end of Botanic Gardens and amazed how the kids weren't complaining any bit. Finally we took a bus from outside Gleneagles Hospital back home!

Preggy shots

Finally we took some time off to stroll at the park and catch some shots of my very preggy state before I deliver. It's 36 going 37 weeks and I'm feeling all so weighed down. Nonetheless, it's nice just seeing the kids run around at the park with all smiles.

Keziah so loved climbing the tree even though she wasn't very good at it and gave up after realizing she's hogging the queue. Her usual sweet chat with her little sister to find out how she's doing.

Let's just stretch ourselves out!

 Finally a shot of the preg!

Botanic Gardens - church fellowship

Our church organised a fellowship meeting at Botanic Gardens. Naturally, our kids loved the idea of being able to be at the park to roam. As usual, they will never miss seeing the swans, fish and turtles and wanting ever so much to feed them. Today, we didn't bring any food but a nice lady, who was feeding the swans, spared the kids some.

We had fun reaching out to nature; climbing tree branches, feeling the leaves and looking at interesting flowers that were in bloom.
