Visitors: ChiChi and TaTi

Our good friends, ChiChi and TaTi, came to visit in September. Our family enjoyed their visit so much and we all had a great time and made lots of good memories together! The girls loved it~ PE enjoyed ChiChi and TaTi walking her to school and picking her up from school daily. In the afternoons, PE and ChiChi played school, wrote plays, and performed puppet shows (PE is holding up a prop from behind the black chair). (And Baby Girl was constantly trying to get in all of the action!) Baby Girl enjoyed brushing TaTi's hair (see the orange rake in the picture) with a play plastic hand rake and loved listening to him read stories!!

Visitors: Orchard Road

We took a walk down Orchard Road so ChiChi and TaTi could get the feel of the big city of Singapore. Mall after mall after mall line Orchard Road with all the big designer names and tv screens playing movies and tv shows shine on several of the mall facades. There was lots to see: the wide sidewalks, variety of cultures and ethnic groups, tons of traffic. Our visitors eagerly took in all the sights and smells of Singapore!

Visitors: Night Out on the Town

One night we went out to the famous Raffles Hotel and then to Halia, one of our favorite restaurants located right in the middle of the lush greenery of the Botanical Gardens. We had a special table reserved for the evening, and the food and wine were divine.

Visitors: Singapore Flyer and Merlion

We took ChiChi and TaTi to ride on the Singapore Flyer so they could see the city from a "bird's eye view"! We also visited the Merlion statue and took a river boat cruise around the downtown area. While we were sightseeing LOTS of people wanted to get their photos taken with the girls, and one guy wanted his picture taken with ChiChi and I!! We laughed about that and thought it was funny he wanted his picture taken with us!

Visitors: Zoo and Bird Park

We started our day at the Singapore Zoo with "Breakfast with the Orangutans". As we ate we got to see the orangutans up close and had our picture made with them! After breakfast TaTi and ChiChi took the girls to see a big snake and PE touched it (YIKES!). We had great fun at the zoo! ChiChi and TaTi's favorite part was looking at the gardening area and discovering what plants, fruits, and veggies grow in this part of the world! And of course, ChiChi LOVED viewing all of the various orchids!

We also ventured to the Bird Park and Night Safari (at the zoo). The birds were very friendly and enjoyed sipping on the sweet drink we offered them! Baby Girl stuck her finger out to a bird and the bird bit it!! She was okay, I think it just scared her!!
