Gardens by the bay

On Monday we visited Gardens by the Bay. We have been there at this time of the year in the past to enjoy the Christmas displays. This year however, everyone has been and were raving about how good it is. Well, it was a perfect night for it - very cool and no rain :) The Roses in the Garden.

We arrived in daylight so the kids enjoyed walking around the park. 

This T-shirt has been worn by all three of our kids :) 

This must be the "Christmas Market year" for us. We have been to one in Germany, one in Osaka and now here in Singapore. Christmas Wonderland - very nice and festive.

The Luminarie light sculpture was just amazing. They were specially constructed and flown in from Italy! There is a very famous one in Kobe (and much bigger display) but we have never been. Our first time experience to see them. 

They have snow making twice a night and we were there at the perfect time. As you can tell it is not real. It didn't really matter to Luca, he just loved it and kept going back to catch more. On the other hand Oliver was so disappointed he couldn't build a snowman because the snow wasn't real :( At some point it really looked like snow tho. 

The Supertrees light and music show was on. This time with some lovely Christmas music :) 

Of course the boys found the Christmas train and had a ride.

After visiting the Gardens we walked over to Marina Bay Sands and had dinner in the shopping mall. They have turned the ice skating link into another Christmas Wonderland. 

While Luca was in the toilet (of course someone has to do no2 while you are out!!) I had a great time taking photos of Oliver and Ashley.

I think we are now deep into our festive sprit. We are ready for Christmas!
