Family outing

It is very hard to have a family (outdoor) outing for us. First, Paul has to travel everyday from Monday to Friday, that most of the time he spends in Singapore, he would prefer it to be at home. Second, Paul is not an outdoor guy at all, he hates the sun.

A typical weekends for us are, lunch on Saturdays (in a mall) and Church on Sundays.

But since Paul is going to be in Singapore for this week (only!), and since today is a Vesak Day holiday, we agreed to go out somewhere, outdoor, as a family. *I was so happy*

So we went early from home, at 8am. I thought looking for parking would be very hard later on in the day and also, it’s going to be so hot closer to the afternoon.

We arrived at about 8.30am, and it was packed already! Lots of people were camping throughout the weekends and the early rising people had arrived hours earlier. But we still managed to find parking quite fast and the beach was pretty much empty.

Caden played with the waves for the first time. He was scared at first but soon fascinated with the low tide and high tide water that kept brushing his legs and thigh area.

He played with the sand, too. I thought he is going to get annoyed by the texture of the sand on his feet and hands. But apparently, he was not!! He seemed to enjoy his sand play time today!

[He has changed so much about touching and feeling things that seems dirty and uncomfortable. He was not even wanted to try to touch finger paint at school, or he would scream for us to wipe his hand because there was one tiny rice on his palm.]

Then we rent bikes! – one big one for me and one small one for Caden. Well, he couldn’t really pedal the bike yet. We are still in the process of teaching him. I can see that he understand my instructions that he is suppose to push the pedal forward but somehow, he still couldn’t give the right instructions to his legs yet. I know it will take some time, and I will give all the time that he needs.

Last but not least, Paul and I are hungry! So we went for breakfast at McDonalds. I bought a Big Breakfast meal for Paul and pancake Happy Meal for Caden, but instead, he asked for the Big Breakfast egg. And he ate almost the entire portion!

We went home at around 10.30am. Just in time to reach home for Caden’s nap (after a clean nice warm bath of course).

Hm…I think we should do this more often…but not sure if Paul will agree about this…
