Singapore Children's Day 2013

Oliver had great fun on Thursday morning at kindy celebrating Children's Day with his friends. They had a dress up party in the morning. He wanted to go as Spiderman so of course Luca had to dress up too.

Oliver's friend TJ was here for breakfast in the morning and he was dressed in a Spiderman outfit too!

Pancakes for our little Spidermen:

In the evening we were invited to a BBQ by the pool. As usual the kids had a ball scooting and running around the condo till late.

Oliver had no kindy on Friday and Matthew was also off so as per our boys's request we went to the aquarium. We were lucky to have the annual passes as the queue to get tickets was soooo long.

We normally go there on weekdays when it is very quiet so it was quite overwhelming surrounded by so many people. We managed to have lots of fun tho!

The boys on the floor...

Found lots of Nemos!

And this was a new sea creature we encountered - cuttlefish. I have seen the name cuttlefish on the menu before but had no idea what they actually looked like. 

I am not going to eat cuttlefish for sure. They looked very spooky...

We enjoyed dolphins swimming gracefully in front of us:

And these sharks kept coming back to the boys:

We love having the annual pass so that we don't have to spend lots of time there to see everything. We can always go back another day. We were out of the aquarium just after lunch. We had some shopping and errands to run so headed out to Dhoby Ghaut/Orchard area.

It was a quite productive afternoon. Matthew got his ipad screen fixed, collected the free Galaxy camera from an HSBC promotion, while I got to go and spend time in Spotlight for a while. Somehow my shopping spirit was low so I ended up having afternoon tea with Oliver and Ashley until Matthew and Luca got back.

I treated Oliver with a Minion cupcake:

And this lady with lots of eye contact - she is so good.

It was a long day out but all our children enjoyed the special day :) Happy Children's Day!
