Family Date Night
A couple of weeks ago we met Daddy down at Gardens by the Bay for a family date night. The Garden Festival was going on and I thought it would be something that we could all enjoy and Lyndon could met us for a little bit since it is close to his office. My plan worked and we had a pretty good time. I think the kids favorite part was Daddy teaching them how to do somersaults.
We do a lot of family outings, but we never call them family dates. I think we are going to work on having more outings that are specifically family date nights. I think calling it a date makes it more important than we are just going out. It gives it feeling of something exciting, and taking time out to spend specifically together.
The Garden Festival was really cool. Singapore does everything so well. I had taken my Mom the weekend before and decided that I had to come back with the kids and Lyndon because it was so incredible. We went to see the terrarium exhibit, which has inspired us to build our own terrarium, the Chairs of the Giants, the Secret Garden (Henry left his mark on that exhibit), Landscape gardens, Fantasy Gardens, and popped in here and there to others.
I had fun spending time with the kids before Lyndon got there. We were waiting for him at the Chairs of the Giants, and Raphael insisted to get out of the stroller and crawl around. I am ready for him to walk so that he is not covered in dirt and his hands an knees are not always black from crawling around out side. He was cute. Cosette to his hands and was dancing with him. It was sweet. Henry was running from chair to chair to chair, which is expected, but still a work out.

The Landscape Gardens were probably my favorite. It was really neat to see how your own back yard can be like a work of art. |
In love with his own reflection. Shall we call him Narcissus? |
He can't get over that handsome fellow staring back at him, and I can't either. |
Titled "The Artist's Pallet" or something like it, but it was supposed to be like a painter's painting palette. |
Fantasy Gardens, terrible lighting, beautiful things. |
The boys were mesmerized by this exhibit. They stayed put a long while. |
