Singapore

I have been too busy to write anything the last 3 months but here is a quick summary, mostly pictures.

My mom joined us in early January and while Arves was on a business trip we decided to go on an adventure of our own with the kids of course. We had a wonderful weekend in Singapore and managed to visit all the sights on our list! Kids did great and despite a few inevitable meltdowns we all had a great time.

Day one we visited the zoo. Emily got to ride on an elephant, feed goats and horse, see the penguins, and enjoy a ride on a choo choo train through the zoo. This zoo is amazing in activities, variety, grounds, etc. just perfect.

After nap time we went to Orchard Road thinking we could easily find a place to eat and walk around a bit. This place is crazy; super busy and just mall after mall. I didn't know what to expect but was definitely overwhelmed by the amount of stores. 



Day two we went to Sentosa Island and met our friend Winnie for a walk around the new aquarium. Emily enjoyed the cable car ride and all the angry bird decorations. Arvesito was a bit too hot and didn't like the ride as much. The aquarium on the other hand was a fail for both kids. My mom and I enjoyed it but we had to leave sooner than planned since the kids had enough.

 The second outing of the day was the Marina Bay Sands for some amazing views of the city. We had a great time running around and taking lots of pictures. Singapore is a beautiful city and I was so glad to have my mom to enjoy it with.

Day three we visited the Gardens by the Bay before our trip back home. Traveling with two kids was easy having my mom along; loved every minute of it!
