You'd think that because we live at 1 degree north of the equator that we'd go to the beach all the time. This is not the case because Singapore's beaches are not very good. However, there's a place here called Sentosa (it's kinda the Disneyland of Singapore) where the beaches are pretty nice. So, on Saturday we went to our ward beach party there. Mike planned this whole party since he's our ward activities committee leader and he always makes everything fun so we knew that it had to be good. As expected, it was really fun!
One of the activities he planned was a Body Building competition. Here's Carson showing off his muscles in the competition. So as not to keep you in suspense I'll tell you now that Carson was the first place winner of the body building competition! He got a nice gold medal for that too.
Jack was the third place winner of the body building competition. Just look at that six pack!
Here's Sammy having a swim in the water at the beach...
This photo shows the kids from our ward playing some relay games in the sand. You can see Mike and Sammy standing there watching and I am in the background with a red rash guard.
The last photo is of Bailey and her friend Madyson goofing around with Madyson's dad.
There was also a swim competition for the adults which Mike and I participated in. We had to run into the water, swim over to a small island, run and touch a big rock and swim back to the other side. I swallowed lots of warm, salty water...yummy!
It's the rainy season from now until January so the rain came down really hard 3 different times while we were there. Some people took shelter in a covered area nearby and some just kept on playing on the beach like it was no big deal. You really can't let the rain stop you from doing anything because it rains pretty much everyday! The rain was actually nice because it was not so sweltering HOT like it usually is here.
Sammy went to a Fear Factor birthday party before the beach party so she had 2 fun parties in one day!
We saw the new roller coaster that is being built next door to Sentosa; where the new Universal Studios site is. That opens up in 2010 so that will bring a lot more tourism to Singapore.
We love you Singapore, lah!
