Family night out at Gardens by the Bay.
As the kids grow up, I hope they will still want to hang out as a family and remember the fun and joy we have whenever we are together. Even though the elder ones might have a fair bit of homework to complete on weekends, we always make time for family outings, which is why it is so important for us to leave our weekends free too.
We might not always agree on where to go or what to do and at times, a couple of them might even protest or say, out of frustration, that they wanna stay home on their own. Yup, so I actually have to deal with tantrums and bickers often but I always remind them of our bottom line - that we are family and a family sticks together. The funny thing is when we are out, they are always happy and will admit that they didn't mean it when they said they didn't wanna come out. Argh.
Anyway, last night, we had dinner at Satay by the Bay followed by a long night walk where we took our flashlights to hunt for living creatures. Along the way, we saw lizards, spiders, ants, moths, flies, caterpillars, lots and lots of snails and even frogs too! Everyone was hot and sweaty yet we enjoyed the leisure walk immensely. The best part was when we chanced upon a stage and the kids immediately went up to dance, do antics and basically anything they wanted. The hubby even shone his phone as a spotlight for them and started making percussion sounds too while the baby and I watched and cheered them on. Growing up years should be like that, right? To be happy and free.
Hope we will keep up our family outings every weekend, even if they are as simple as can be.
