A long weekend in Singapore

Andrew had a holiday last weekend so we decided to take a quick trip back to Sentosa Island (off of Singapore), where we went last year for Easter. It was a bit different going with 2 kiddos, but a great time nevertheless! We did alot of swimming, eating and just hanging out around the island. Cooper seemed to enjoy the sand much more than Evan did his first time, but didn't stay interested for very long. We took Marte along with us this time, so we got some nice, quality alone time during their naps and after the boys had gone to bed. We played alot of ping pong...which I think I finally ended up beating Andrew once out of the 40 games we played and I finally got a chance to read an entire book (while laying by the pool and enjoying a nice glass of wine..or two..or three!)....that was the best part!!!

Both the boys loved the water and E even got to enjoy going down the slides all by himself this time (he was a little too young for them the first time we went). Cooper even had his first slide with Mom...that is until we got caught and Mom got booted from the slides since it was only for kids and not for adults! Oh well, we had fun until we got in trouble!
The camera was fogged with the humidity, but I thought this was a good photo of me and my boys...they are actually both looking at the camera for once (of course something had to go wrong with the camera...isn't that the way it always works??)
The hotel also had this playroom with some cars and a playhouse to run around in, so this helped provide some entertainment as well!
Here are both the boys enjoying some snacks after a swimming session...something about swimming that just makes you hungry!! It seemed like that is all we did while we were there...swam and ate....swam and ate! Like that's what I needed to be doing...eating...especially since I'm no longer nursing....those extra calories seem to settle in the ol' thighs these days!!
That's Coop and Mom about to go down the slide for the 1st time.

We were on our way to this really neat water/light show about Oscar the fish and Princess Ani. Both the boys were mesmerized the entire time at the show, but E was a little frightened by the fireworks at the end!On our way home, so we thought we'd get a few pictures from our balcony before we headed out! Here is a good one of Dad and his boys!
