Sentosa Island

Going to Sentosa Island, an island off of Singapore, was an exciting experience for us all! We began by watching the dolphin show and the girls even got to pet a dolphin! Next we visited the aquarium and the girls and Perry touched Sting Rays~~YIKES!! I stood over to the side and made pictures!! PE played at a waterpark for little kids while Baby Girl took a nap in the stroller! The island was absolutely beautiful and the beaches were unbelievable. It was a very hot day at the beach, about 32 degrees Celsius!

A Day at the Beach

Last week one afternoon the girls and I spent the afternoon at the beach not far from our house! The girls had fun playing in the sand and I had fun making pictures of them! We met a group of students from India that were visiting schools in Singapore and they enjoyed making pictures of the girls and playing with them on the beach. Perry Elizabeth drew a jellyfish in the sand (see the picture)!!

Singapore Zoo

The Singapore Zoo is fabulous!! Perry and I had as much fun as the girls did!! We started out by having breakfast with the Orang Utans! That was really entertaining! We saw lots of animals and PE and Baby Girl fed a giraffe! What fun!

School

PE will begin pre-school in August at Eton House International School. The school is only 4 blocks from our house. She will wear a school uniform and hats MUST be worn (for sun protection) when the students go outside to play. If PE forgets to take her hat to school, she will not be allowed to go outside and play!! UT~OH! The school offers Mandarin (a form of Chinese language) for 45 minutes a day. PE is excited about eating breakfast and lunch at school in the cafeteria, which is located out doors!! (see the picture above)

Friends

When we go play at the various parks we meet lots of friends, all from different countries! The girls have found that even if new friends don't speak the same language, they can still play together!

Restaurant at Boat Quay

We ate at a great Thai restaurant in Boat Quay. We had delicious spring rolls, mango salad, chicken on a stick, and Perry ate octopus soup. The best part was dessert~~sticky rice with mango and white sauce~~YUM YUM!! One of the pictures shows PE giving Baby Girl a piece of octopus, but she was not at all interested in trying it! The manager of the restaurant enjoyed holding the girls!

Boat Quay

Boat Quay (pronounced "Boat Key") is an area downtown on the river front that is lined with sky scrapers, shops, and restaurants. There was lots to see and do in this area! Each restaurant had live tanks of crab, shrimp, and fish that you could choose for your dinner. PE and Baby Girl enjoyed looking at all of the sea creatures in the tanks!
