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.

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!
