Destination Singapore!

Well, after being in Japan for two weeks, we really got bored of things so we decided to go meet up with Tony in Singapore!  That meant six more hours on a plane - fun!  Singapore was beautiful!  It was like a rain forest - everything was green and there were flowers everywhere.  We stayed at a beautiful hotel called Siloso Beach Resort on Sentosa Island.  Here is a picture of the kids in the pool..

We also had fun at the Singapore Zoo - the kids got to feed a giraffe, we saw kangaroo's that were just out in the open, and we saw an elephant show that was amazing:



Nick intentionally put that carrot in Ally's hair so the giraffe would lick her -
what a nice brother!



Ally's dream came true and we rode an elephant!


We had lots of fun that week.  We did the tourist thing and went to Universal Studios Singapore - not as good as the one in Orlando but they had the coolest thing - they had sections of the park that were enclosed overhead that you could go into if raining and it was air conditioned.  We also went on a Night Safari which was a separate Zoo from the Singapore Zoo - this one allowed you to see all the animals that are awake at night.  We went into a room full of bats flying around - that was not cool!  I was so happy because we got to eat at Chili's and Hard Rock - I miss my American restaurants!  We also went to see a show called Voyage de la Vie - it was like a cirque de sole - amazing!  We went on a luge down a mountain and more amazing than that, we went on a zip line - yes, I, Brenda, went on a zip line and survived - who cares if I would not let go of the rope to save my life - here is the proof...

Tony and Michael were riding together and were the ones taking the pictures!

 We had a really nice week with Tony, but it was so sad to have to say good-bye to him once again... we miss you Dad and can't wait for you to come home!
