Mom Camp

Daily Blogs, Singapore 2 Minutes

We are getting into a groove with “mom camp” over here. Are they on tech way to much? Yep… but we are getting out and about and seeing and learning more about Singapore. That combined with sports, music lessons and the dreaded “workbooks” and we have a cobbler together summer without travel. Play dates are also a joy to have again. Luckily Liam has made friends with little sisters. Ready made play mates for Avery! Here are a few pics from our adventures.

  • Xiao long bao. Was 5, I inhaled 3 before the pic. All for $3.50!
  • Pan fried dumplings
  • Our bike route
On Tuesday I escaped mom camp and went for a bike ride with some friends. A much needed escape that had a lunch stop at a hawker for xiao long bao (soup dumplings) for lunch. I’m lucky to have found this adventurous group of women that help me discover new places in Singapore!
  • The museum is in the old empress place building which was built in the 1860s to be a court building
  • My new favorite quote
  • Kids in jail. I should have left them…
  • The exhibit on religions. Very interesting and so many Buddha’s!
  • Tired of museums…
  • Heading home
Wednesday we went to the Asian Civilizations Museum. We were the only ones there! Kids are VERY loud when alone in an echo-y museum. Very interesting artifacts and interesting to learn history from an Asian perspective. Did you know the Chinese have been making pottery (in a kiln) for ~20,000 years?!? The kids big take away was about the practice of foot binding. They had some shoes on display. Scary small…
  • Majestic white tiger
  • Therefore there can be no ligers!
  • Kangaroos were fun to watch!
  • Snack time!
  • Elephants!
  • Singapore zoo lunch is very tasty!
  • Indian platter
  • Not sure why we went in….
  • The cats were all VERY active
  • It was actually cool and rainy. Crazy weather for SG
  • This is a cassowary from Papua New Guinea. At one time you could trade one of these birds for 8 pigs or 1 woman…
The zoo has timed entry and is operating at 25% capacity. It was a great day as it was cool and rainy.
Elephant feeding time. Our zoo has Sumatran and Sri Lankan elephants (Asian elephants)
Goofy orangutans are always having fun
The big cats were all pacing. Poor things…
I just like these because they make me laugh. I’m a big proponent of mass transit much to my children’s chagrin. This is Liam and Avery after I told them the bus had 25 more stops before we got to the MRT. They’re lucky I didn’t make them bike there! I’m going to try that on Sunday!
