Grandma and Grandpa are here for their 3rd (g-pa) and 4th (g-ma) visits to Singapore! We're so glad that they could make the long & grueling trip to visit us!
How it's going so far:
They arrived at 2:00am Thursday morning. Sammy & Bailey did a great job as the "welcoming committee!" They decorated their room and hid behind a wall at the airport and jumped out to surprise them at the airport!
Thursday after a bit of sleep we swam at our house, played some "horse" in the swimming pool, allowed g-ma and g-pa to have a nap and then introduced them to their first "Gold Class Movie" experience in Singapore. They went to see
The Hunger Games at Vivo City Gold Class with Sammy and Mike. I don't think they will ever be able to enjoy another movie without a blanket, lazy-boy chair and waiter to bring them hot chocolate (due to the freezing cold nature of Singaporean movie theatres) again.
Friday we packed up for an overnight stay at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. We checked in and met up with my friends Jen and Kyle Larson who work there. Then we checked into our beautiful room on the 50th floor of the hotel. The rooftop pool is on the 57th floor of the hotel. Our view out of the window was the most amazing that I have ever seen. It is right up there with the view of the Hong Kong harbor out of the Marriott Hotel (where we stayed when we first arrived in Hong Kong).
We hurried and changed into our swim suits so we could enjoy the amazing 150 metre-long infinity pool on the roof of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Because Singapore likes to have the "biggest everything in the world" this hotel doesn't disappoint... having the "largest outdoor swimming pool at that height in the world!"
Sammy & Sky had a great time splashing around.

| My mom enjoyed her book more than the cold water. |
 |
| Bailey was so lucky to have a close friend from school staying there the exact same day as us! |
 |
| G-ma finally braved the cold water! |

| Dinner was an adventure at the Food Court in the mall across from the hotel. The food was good but it was so crowded! We found some Japanese ramen, dim sum and chicken rice that was delish. |

| Grandma stuck to rice and steamed cabbage. |

| This photo was taken on Saturday while we were wandering the skypark on the roof of the hotel. Saturday's weather was weird...windy and I think someone even said cold? Is that possible? |

No one wanted to swim on Saturday. Carson and Sammy decided to get sick and Bailey had a terrible night in the hotel with her allergies acting up. Don't think g-ma and g-pa got much sleep...but it was very memorable!!!
Saturday night we went to the Woodlands Waterfront Park to walk around. We were very surprised when we showed up and 100's of people were there getting ready to celebrate "Earth Hour." So, we went home and celebrated it ourselves by lighting tons of candles and telling not-so scary stories: For example, the timing was perfect for g-pa to tell this old classic: One night 2 men sat by a campire, one turned to other and said "Tell me a story Bill and the story was this:" (Now just repeat it 100 times!) |
