Singapore Botanic Gardens










The Singapore Botanic Gardens were absolutely breath taking! We saw all sorts of unique flowers! Lots of people were having picnics and playing on the grounds. We ate at a restaurant in the gardens and enjoyed the atmosphere of the lush green plants. The dinner was fantastic~~we had great food, nice wine, and delicious dessert!

Bird Park









We spent a day at Bird Park and saw beautiful birds and flowers! PE and Baby Girl loved looking at the Penguins and Owls. We searched and searched for Parrots that PE wanted to see, and when we finally found them, not one of them would talk to us! PE was so disappointed!! I told her they were probably tired of talking~~maybe next time they will talk to us!!

A Day in Chinatown






The girls and I spent a WHOLE day in Chinatown. We bought a watercolor painting of Singapore and met the artist. PE had her picture made with him. Later for a snack, we bought bananas from a lady selling them on the street. We shopped, had lunch, and then bought a few pieces of furniture at antique shops in Chinatown. What a fun day!

Little India







We spent the afternoon in Little India. As soon as we got there, Daddy bought a cocoanut and Ellis drank the milk out of it! We ate lunch and we had delicious bread, beans, cooked vegetables, and RICE! EVERYBODY eats rice in Asia!! We went to Mustafa Centre to do some shopping~~there was so much to see and it was very crowded! I decided I need to go back there sometime by myself so I can do some serious shopping!!

We visited Sri Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu national monument in Singapore. We had to take our shoes off before entering the temple. One of the photos shows all of the shoes outside the temple! There were interesting paintings on the walls and ceilings, and the aroma of insense filled the air.

Making Cookies




One day PE made chocolate chip cookies for Daddy to take to the office. YUMMMMMMMMMM! Everytime I turned around she was dipping her hands in the cookie batter!! She did share some of the batter with her little sister, who decided that she LOVED eating cookie dough too!!

Allie and Almond




The dogs are enjoying our family being at home more while we are living in Singapore! They love the company of PE and Baby Girl as they play outdoors.
