A stroll in the park


It was last week I think, or rather two weeks ago, that we decided to bring the kids for a stroll in the park. Hubby and I sometimes go to the Stutong park for a jog and the kids have been pestering us to bring them there ever since I mentioned we saw monkeys a couple of times!


We went in the late afternoon. It wasn't hot because there are plenty of trees which provide ample shade. It's a great park, since it's so close to town and yet has that 'real jungle' feel! Except, of course, for the fact that it comes equipped with cement paved paths! :) But still, it's a step closer to nature, and great for our 'city kids'!

  Well, we unfortunately did not spy any monkeys (macaques) or squirrels, but we did see huge ants...

a great variety of interesting flora...

ants moving house *creepy*...

and also this pheasant fowl / chicken-y fellow! :)

The kids enjoyed the outing and it was good exercise to boot. Only Solomon the king was pushed around in his stroller and towards the end of the trail, when Eva refused to budge anymore, Solomon surrendered his stroller for jie jie to sit.

I hope we'll have time to do this more often...
