Winter Wonderland!

We had a ball at the Winter Festival in King George Square recently. Ice skating, tubing on the ice slide and eating European winter foods was the order of the day!

 

 3 boys  will

Sport, sport and just for a change…more sport!

Basically our lives consist of eating and sleeping around the boys sporting activities! Here’s a few of late…

1. Sports Day  - Both boys came home with ribbons (Harry for the 400m and 100m, Will for Shot Put) and Harrison went on to represent the school at District level in the 100m, coming in 6th.

2. Swimming  - Harrison has started training with a squad at Chandler now and Will and Sam are racing through the solo program with Will now in a mini squad.

5. Soccer (football).  All three boys are playing and loving it.  Will’s team has only been beaten once all season, Harry’s team are playing 1st division this year which is very tough but they are doing well and have had a few wins.  Sam is playing for the squirts and after his recent carnival is now known as “six goal Sammy”! Harry’s school team finished first and are off to regionals in September.

Singapore Top 10…

1. The airport! So sparkly and clean, complete with free massage chairs, Koi fish that swim up to your hand, loads of designer shops and a butterfly garden.  I think Harrison would have been happy with a holiday right there :)

2. The MRT – also sparkly and clean (especially after the Metro in Paris).  Harrison loved that you could see all the way from one end to the other.

3. The Concord Hotel – What a lovely place to stay.  The beds were so comfy we had trouble getting Harry out of them each morning!

4. The Singapore Zoo

What a fantastic Zoo!  Harrison was in his element here, we had breakfast with the Orang-utans and had to stay on after the tour ended and get a taxi home :) Even then we were practically dragging him out!
