visited the two conservatories at the gardens by the bay on monday with the parents and two kids as seniors can enter free and bring along a companion (me!) for half-price. the kids being below 3 also entered for free so we landed up paying $10 for 5 people. what a steal! it was no surprise that we saw many grandparents with their grandkids that day. anyway, who can resist free aircon during this sweltering month?!
had a very hearty breakfast at cafe crema before starting our day ... h got a lot of joy spreading jam on bread for everyone.
the flower dome was all whimsy with the flowery fun times display on for the school holidays ... various nursery rhymes were being recreated among the flowers with the key recognisable ones (for me) being the old woman who lived in the shoe, mary mary quite contrary, baa baa black sheep, humpty dumpty and eensy weensy spider. h isn't too well versed with many nursery rhymes, so i don't think she appreciated the displays as much as i did. but she did have fun running around in cool comfort.
the cloud forest dome was also fun to re-explore ... we came here for h's first birthday and i still recall her, having only just learnt to walk, tottering down the winding ramp on her own like a boss. also, her trying to jump.
the orchids growing on the vertical core structure at the cloud forest were beautiful.
n slept like a pro in the baby carrier for the whole time that we were in the conservatories ... he loves being carried and being on the move so of course he had no complaints. also managed to check out the very spacious and clean nursing room at the cloud forest when it was feeding time.
this was probably the first time that n was out for a full day and he was rather well behaved even in the car seat. looks like he has earned the right to being brought for more outings by the grandparents going forward since he was such an easy going baby that day.
