Excursions and more

The month of October was filled with excursions, excursions and more excursions.At the beginning of the month, my darlings had their first experience of longkang fishing using nets at the Kids' Kampung. Though it was not easy catching the fishes, it was fun.  There was also an animal show in celebration of the Children's Day.  My darlings were very excited to be able to hold onto the hamsters, gerbils and bunnies.

We also went to the Singapore Science Centre and there was an exhibition on how the wild animals were being kept or killed.  It strenthens their understanding of why we should avoid eating sharks' fins and how our simply gestures can help to save the animals.  My darlings also love the craft session which are manned by the student volunteers.  See both of them having so much fun, just by being elephants for a day.

At the Asian Civilisation Museum, there was the Terracotta Warriors Exhibition at the Asian Civilisation Museum.  This is the first time my darlings got to see the terracotta warriors. They also learned about the Emperor Qin and how the terracotta warriors were being made.  We were very intrigued by the funky terracotta warriors with modern gadgets designed by Justin Lee.  We had a good laugh over these cutie modern terracotta warriors.

We also went to the Merlion Park nearby, they had finally got the chance to see the merlions in close proximity.  We had a fun time sitting on the steps near the big merlion and watching the junk boats cruising by.  My darlings remembered the time when we were on one of the boats.  We were very lucky to catch some fireworks performance at the Marina Bay Sands.

For the first time, we brought our darlings to the Night Safari.  My darlings were very excited to be in a zoo at night.  It was quite a total different experience compared to being at the zoo in the day.  We enjoyed watching the animal show and had a fun time exploring the zoo in the darkness on the tram ride.

Though it was tiring, it was fun to go on an excursion as a family.

[*Sigh*, a lot of our exursions photos were lost as one of our SD cards was spoilt.]
