Sun and Fun in Singapore!



Easter bunny found us in Singapore!  The boys were excited to wake up Easter morning to find chocolates scattered throughout the house and their baskets hidden.  We spent the day with friends and enjoyed a delicious Easter potluck dinner of ham, chicken and lamb.  No disappointment here that turkey was not an option :)




I've been busy training for a number of different races with my girlfriend, Liza, who is from Australia.  The races help to keep me motivated and allow me to enjoy a  glass of wine, guilt-free.




I am amazed at the variety of activities that one can do in Singapore!  We've been here for a year and there are still loads of activities for us to try and areas that need to be explored!

One Saturday, we biked to Gardens by the Bay. to visit their Flower Doom as the exhibit was tulips.  It brought back warm memories of our time in Holland.


Another weekend, we filled our day with a variety of fun activities.  We started by hiking down Mount Faber (I use the term hike and mountain loosely - although it does not compare to what we can find outside of Calgary, I would recommend this walk to any visitors).  Then we caught to bus over to Sentosa Island - Singapore's playground.  We spent the rest of the day trying out the luge, body boarding and enjoying cold beverages on the beach.  Perfect day!






Last weekend, to celebrate Father's Day and Joshua's birthday, we did a "stay-cation".  We checked into a resort on Sentosa and spent the weekend feeling like we got away.  The weekend was fabulous!





Even though Father's Day isn't for a few more weekends, we gave Jason his gift early - simulation skydiving!  The experience was amazing!  After a quick presentation, we put on our special skydiving gear then took turn flying in the wind tunnel.  The boys loved it and couldn't get enough!  




See everyone is a little less than a month!  Can't wait!
