An Outdoorsy Sunday

What better way to enjoy a carefree Sunday than to lie on the grass, feel its glorious texture, soak in the sun and smell the ubiquitous flowers!

Last Sunday, we went on a rampage of activities that lasted the entire day from morning till evening. At the end of the day, each of us were highly gratified, glad that everything had been fulfilled and elated that we had such a brilliant day bonding together in the outdoors.

The day started with brunch in one of our favourite alfresco restaurants. Eating there never failed to make us feel like we are on a holiday! The Bees loved the blustery morning ambience that was the signature weather these 2 months, and the wide open spaces to run about. 

Photos taken by Big Bee - she seems to be exploring different angles and perspectives of photography now!

Recently, they had started to usurp our camera and snapping photos of scenes around them. This is great for Hubby and I, as we now have 2 more pairs of hands to take photos. In fact, Big Bee was such an enthusiast (and I thought, natural talent at photography!) that we gave her a camera she could call her own. She was thrilled, and had started bringing it along with her for parties with friends. 

It is interesting and amusing to see photos taken from their perspectives, as if we are peeping into the folds of their minds and understanding the external stimuli that excite them. 

We also took a short walk along the Forest Walk of the Southern Ridges. The view from the top was beautiful, but more importantly, we loved the diversity and abundance of foliage and creepy-crawlies at the different canopy levels. We saw a huge spider, and the Bees were fascinated by it, staring at this beauty perched on a magnificent web. This walk is a wonderful way for the kids to experience firsthand the various forest canopy levels and different creatures in each canopy level.

We then had a short char kway teow break in Holland V, where the girls were gobbling the yummy plate of noodles, before proceeding to a nearby nursery to immerse ourselves in some Chinese New Year cheer. Hubby and I love looking at the bountiful and dazzling flowers and plants around this festive period, and the Bees are fast catching on as well!
