All About Your Child

I love the nature and I love how the nature teaches kids things that are beyond the encyclopedia. The hands on activities, the creativity at play and the bonding between peers and adults = Priceless!

Girls hiding in the tent brought by my 2nd BIL

My eldest BIL suggested that we should spend today, 3rd June, at the Pasir Ris Park, instead of meeting at his house, which is our usual practice on Sundays.

Boys savouring their granny's cooking

Under the perfect sun, the kids……and playful adults (including me. When my camera phone is off, my playful self is turned on!) had fun with everything at the playground:~

My eldest niece, C.H. loves excitement! So while Allan gave her the HIGHs,

….I gave her the SPEED she desired at the mini flying fox, after Binbin became exhausted from pushing her.

Its a shame that no one captured the moments when I gave her the mighty push and when she returned me the favour later too. So Fun! Thank goodness the rope didn’t break when I was on it. *laugh*

So the only photos captured at this area of Pasir Ris Park was C.H. and Binbin.

All thanks to my 2nd BIL, who rented the 2-seater bicycle for 2 hours. Finally, every kid get to feel some breeze (at last) in the fast ride. The sun was REALLY ‘hard at work’ today! *fanning*

The funniest moment was when Keatkeat chose to be in the front seat and his dad at the rear. They wobbled like crazy down the slope (which was the starting point)! Just like what my 2nd BIL said, “Its a miracle that they didn’t fall!”
From the 5 year old to the 68 year old, everyone had a great laugh!

We moved on to the seaside when it was less glaring, at around 4pm plus:

Though every moment (to me) was precious, there were some that stood out…….

Allan, stayed under the shelter chatting with his parents:

The exciting soccer match, which made the big boys played as hard as the small ones. *giggle*

Keatkeat's expression in this photo is so funny! *laugh*

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE such family gatherings. 3 generations together. Laughing. Playing. Chatting and Bonding. Thank you eldest BIL for the great suggestion!

Moments captured, moments treasured!

Pasir Ris Park : Place for Kids To Play

Keatkeat was very disappointed yesterday, 26th May, when he found out that he had missed the boat rides, the tank rides, the flying fox, the mountain climbing, etc. With all his might, he persuaded us to bring him to the Army Open House @ Our City again today.

With all eagerness, he relentlessly asked for our consent and waited for our heads to nod from last night till this morning! The last time I saw him with such enthusiasm was when he tried his best to make my MIL and BIL agree to let my nieces have their first sleepover at my place.

To reward his amazing effort, we agreed. However, as on all Sundays, it is in-laws’ day for us. So we went for an early lunch at my in-law’s place and wanted to set off right after the meal.

In the end, all three kids over there wanted to go along too! My car could not fit in so many butts, so my SIL suggested a car swop with my BIL’s 7 seater. *thumb up*

3 adults (Allan, SIL and I) and 5 kids went. We did not wait for my eldest niece to arrive with my 2nd SIL and 2nd BIL because we did not want Keatkeat to miss anything again, we wanted to be there early.

***Too many photos to post, all are great memories. So I decided put majority of the photos on slides.

I was just as eager to do all of that which Keatkeat and Binbin was looking forward to, but was GREATLY upset when I could not meet the basic requirement : wear covered shoes!!!

*scream* So sad!!!

So SIL brought the 5 kids for tanker ride while I looked at them with my envy eyes….

Other than wearing covered shoes, it is also a must to be at least 10 years old for anyone who wants to try the flying fox and the rock climbing. *humph*
So the only ones who could enjoy these activities were my SIL and my elder niece, but none of them want to try!!! Aaawww….what a waste~!

Hence we moved on to the boat ride, something less adventurous. And once again, Allan, my nephew and I could not participate because we did not meet their basic requirement (see picture below).

Thank goodness SIL was there with her track shoes on, otherwise Keatkeat and Binbin would be so disappointed again.

***Thank you SIL for taking photos of the kids in the tanker and the boat ride.

While they were cruising, Allan and I became the ‘parent‘ of one young child once again, who is easily satisfied with simple activities. *wink*

We brought the Kindergarten 1, who is obsessed with guns, to the demo show. It was great for me to watch it again because I missed the Red Lions during yesterday’s show, due to bad weather. Read yesterday’s post: “Army Open House @ Our City 2012”

Next stop: the bouncy-basketball-game….

and since he is so obsessed with guns, we thought it would be a PERFECT opportunity for him to get his hands on REAL GUNS!

After Keatkeat and Binbin had done what they came back (to Army Open House @ Our City 2012) for, the 5 kids were finally reunited again for more fun.

Other things they did on Day 2 at the Army Open House, include wearing a gas mask, sitting on a police bike, holding a real bomb, doing CPR, playing with ‘electricity‘ and playing at bouncy castle too.

What a day!
Keatkeat and Binbin thinks that BOTH days were just as fun!
This 2nd trip to the Army Open House 2012 was definitely worth it!
*clap clap clap*
