Botanic Gardens & Dempsey Hill

Today we hit up the Botanic Gardens! 
When JD came for business in March he came with his co-workers and said it was a must do. 
I cannot wait to get my jogging stroller and come run this place it was SO beautiful! 
I can see us coming, running a few miles, picnicking watching the birds... avoiding the monitor lizards! :) 


Papa, boys, & I starting the gardens. 
It was quite HOTT today! 


Had a very pretty pond with swans and fish and lots of ample shade which was a blessing! 


The pretty swans staying cool in the shade. 


Emme, Papa & their boys with the swans. 


Then we ran into these.... I wish I could say handsome fellows; Monitors, but I just don't feel that way about them. 
They are quite big or at least bigger than any lizard I care to meet. 


Dad, the boys and I. 
I think I was capturing the Monitor picture. 


And a rare creature to see around here... squirrel. Ha! 


Some of the beautiful flowers we saw in the garden! 



Waterfall... 


Emme & Logan in front of another waterfall. 
At this point Jackson had fallen asleep in the stroller. 


Papa and Logan. 


Logan and these awesome lillypads.

Big boy and I. 


LJ and I . 


Don't know if you can see it but there is a large mosquito on this flower. 
It is Dengue Fever season here right now so we are trying to avoid all those yucky mosquitoes! 


Such a cool looking tree. 


Papa and the boys. 


The Healing Garden.
They had plants labeled for each area of the body that help. 
This was my favorite area. 


Emme in front of the Healing Gardens. 







Love this plant. 




How Logan decided to keep cool! :) 


So we could revert back to the map we took a picture! This place is huge!

So thankful we get to enjoy our new home with them!

After sweating our tail off through the Botanic Garden we decided to catch a cab and head to another Dad list place.. Dempsey Hill. 
It was a little confusing on how this place was set up so we tried the first place we saw which was a Mexican Restaurant. Might have been our biggest mistake. 
Singapore you are efficient in MANY things, but might want to leave the Mexican food to someone else! 

It was an extremely fun day to say the least! 
Love all this exploring! :)
