River Safari with the Birthday Boy

We deliberated on the topic of having a birthday party for the longest time ever and eventually came to a compromise...

Let the birthday boy do the planning!


My jaw almost dropped when Kaeden suggested a trip to the River Safari (... of all the places in Singapore!) but well... how could we disappoint him right?




The weather in the morning was perfect for an excursion into the 'wild'. Since Ash did not meet the minimum height requirement for the boat ride, we stayed on the viewing deck while the boys went ahead on their Amazon River Quest expedition...

 


The kids continued their exploration of the safari for another couple of hours before they finally surrendered to the hot sun. It was definitely an eye-opener for all of us to have such up-close encounter with the enormous river animals and giant pandas.


 

How better to end the day with a nice lunch at the sure-must-visit Mama Panda Kitchen!
