A weekend out of the village

Wow, I can hardly believe July has come and gone and we are now well into August. We tried to plan a last minute trip to one of the nearby Malaysian islands for a beach break last week, but everyone else must have had the same idea because the "nice" resort at each of the 2 islands we looked at were fully booked. So much for a last minute getaway....now we have to wait until the end of the month since Andrew is busy at work until then. So we settled for another weekend outing up to KL this weekend. Nothing was on the agenda, so it was really nice. It was just nice to get out of the "village" (aka Melaka) for a couple of days! We enjoyed some more playtime at the park, checked out a really cool dinosaur exhibit they had at KLCC (yes, both boys are still fanatics about dinosaurs), and went to the aquarium on Sat (which was a bad move - it was completely packed with tons of school kids - nice place to be given the big spread of H1N1 lately. Needless to say, we made it a rather quick visit this time!). Andrew and I also caught a movie one afternoon and then had a really great dinner date on Sat night. We had one of the best steaks we've been able to find in Malaysia and then headed out to a nice outdoor pub for a couple of drinks afterwards...and we were still home before midnight again - what is it with us....we are so old!!

Forget the playground equipment, I think E had more fun running up and down the hills!

Why is it that little kids love to try to crawl back up the slides instead of using the stairs!??!?

We went to an indoor theme park at a shopping center called Times Square, but it was closed until noon and we had to meet Daddy for lunch, so now we'll have to try to go back another time to try it out. It looked really nice...and clean (which is so hard to find here sometimes)

They loved looking at the moving dinosuars from afar, but they didn't dare pose for a picture by themselves so Marte had to pose with them....and even then Cooper was still trying to make a run for it....and E's face in the previous pic says it all!
I think they thought they were on a roller coaster ride!

Daddy made E look funny one night at bathtime and so E thought he had to do a silly pose to go with his silly look!

LOVED all the fish! Alot of "dohs" and "ooohs" from Cooper....that's always a good sign!

Back home again and getting ready for bathtime! My 2 precious boys!
