4th of July

After the zoo we went down to Orchard Street and ate at a hamburger joint Taylor knows of. The burgers were delicious and we also got root beer floats. 

While we were walking along Orchard we passed a soccer promotion booth dk the kids stopped and kicked a soccer ball and each got a bag, scarf, small blanket, and notebook. Because everyone needs a scarf in Singapore. 

Some ladies we walked by have Hyrum a ballon they had so everyone was set with goodies. It was a fun day even with no fireworks. 

First Tooth!

So Hannah got her first loose tooth about a week before we left for Singapore. She was really excited but she wanted to not lose it till after we got Singapore so she could get Singapore money from the tooth fairy. Lucky her it fell out about two days after we got here. She got a Singapore one dollar coin from the tooth fairy.

Riding the MRT

Gardens by the Bay

We met some friends from church down by Gardens by the Bay. This is basically our first big adventure so it was an exciting ride on the MRT. We got to see the Super Trees and also the Marina Bay Sands Hotel which the kids were really excited about there's a boat that's on top of three hotels.

Then we met up with the people we knew at the splash pad. It is a giant splash pad and there's a huge playground with slides in a giant tree house and some bridges. 

It was a time of fun. We ended up walking to the wrong MRT when we are done so it took for ever and we were all super tired. Hannah found this stick that she was really excited about but I wouldn't letter take it on the mrt so she had me take a picture with it.

Toa Payoh City Park

This is a park a couple mrt stops from our flat. We all thought it was beautiful and fun. The bridges and plants, the ponds and waterfall. We went swimming at the community pool nearby first and then wandered through the park as we walked back toward the mrt to head home.

First Sunday

The church building is about a 15 minute walk from our apartment. It has four floors and different wards meet on different floors.

James in front of our apartment. We live on the second floor so you can see on if the balconies here. Every room has its own balcony. 

Saturday

Hyrum had a fever so he and Taylor stayed home. The kids and I walked along Orchard Road and watched the street performers and ate some ice cream from the stands. After I got mrt cards for the kids we rode to Little India to explore. The kids played at a park right outside the mrt. Then we headed grocery shopping at Sheng Siong. Afterwards we trudged to the bus stop with 9 bags between us and only got on the wrong bus once and then headed home. Everyone was so tired at dinner that night--not quite time adjusted yet.
