G-ma and G-pa's Visit to Singapore (Part 2)

Saturday we tried to get tickets to the movie "The Lorax" with g-ma and g-pa but when it was all sold out we went to Carl's Jr. for lunch instead.  Then we walked around the mall a bit...since there's thousands of malls in Singapore that's what people do here.  When we got home we started April Fool's Day a bit early breaking into our sweet neighbor's, the Stevens, house and playing lots of tricks on them.; including a sign that read," It's never too early to start celebrating a holiday.  Let the games begin!"  That started an all out war and they returned the favor later that night leaving a sign on our house that read, "Game On!" with bananas mushed everywhere.
Sunday was church - Sammy and Carson stayed home b/c they didn't feel well but the rest of us made it to church.  That gave Sammy a chance to get into the Steven's house one more time to play a few more pranks; including leaving our cat and litter box there with a note telling them "no refunds!" (Too bad it didn't work...Katniss is not our favorite cat ever.)
Since the Stevens move back to the U.S. this summer our days of pranking on April Fool's Day may be over.  Not sure who else would put up with us and not get upset!

Monday the kids had to go back to school so my mom and I met up with two of my friends in Holland Village for lunch and did some shopping while Mike and my dad played golf in the rain.  Monday evening we watched Carson and Bailey's soccer practices, had dinner and family night.

Tuesday was back to Holland Village for foot reflexology, a massage for my dad and lunch at a favorite restaurant, Thai Express.  We all enjoyed the mango sticky rice for dessert.

 Tuesday after school my parents and I took Sammy and Bailey down to the Art Science Museum to see the Titanic exhibit.  Since it sank almost exactly 100 years ago (on April 12) it was especially meaningful to learn about it.  It took us about 1 1/2-2 hours to go through the exhibit, where at the end we found out if the person whose bio. we received at the beginning of the tour survived or died.  They have all the names of those on board at the end of the exhibit and whether they lived or died.  It turned out that only my mom's "person" actually survived.  My mom also found the name of her friend's grandmother who died on Titanic.

Wednesday was my parents last full day in Singapore.  They spent it mostly around the Singapore American School.  We met all 4 kids for lunch at Subway during their lunch time, then my parents went into Carson's classroom to be the "guest readers."  Carson loved that!

                                                        Carson even did a little reading.

Wednesday afternoon we watched Jack play soccer, then had some Indian food and took grandpa to the Night Safari so he could try fish reflexology!  He did 10 minutes in the tank with the big fish chowing on his feet.  I gotta get some photos of this from my mom because the initial reactions to this experience are always so funny.  The rest of us just experienced Ben & Jerry's ice cream and watched some of the fire show while g-pa had the fish chow on his calloused feet.

We had so much fun with g-ma and g-pa here in Singapore!  Skylar is very confused and still calls both g-ma and g-pa "grandpa"...I guess that's because they are such a great team.

Thanks for your wonderful visit "grandpa!" Come back again soon. :)
