Can you see Ezra enjoying himself being the pilot? That's one of his best-loved occupations!
And Titus enjoyed being the co-pilot so much he refused to get off!
Didn't even realise the helicopter's name is Amelia (until Lily
happyqile pointed it out), but to Ezra, any helicopter is Harold, any crane he sees in the construction site is Cranky the crane. Even the LRT trains are Thomas, James, Henry, and when there are 2 cabins, 'Look! It's Annie and Clarabel!' shouts this Thomas fan.
The boys had lots of fun playing here. Titus enjoyed going inside and closing the door, then opening the door to come out, and repeating this over and over. Think he did this for close to 1/2 hour.
There were 2 houses, one for each boy, so Titus could have his fun without Gor-gor disturbing him.
Ezra, on the other hand, had great fun play-acting 'The 3 Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf'. Here's a video clip of the
act.
While we were playing at the houses, a cement mixer stopped right opposite. Ezra insisted on going to the construction site to be a builder. I had to tell him we didn't bring his helmet to stop him.
The treehouse. Carrying a toddler and holding another kid's hand to climb up and down was really no joking matter.
On our way back to the exhibition halls, I saw this plant and had to take a photo. Wonder how it got its name?
Another favourite with the boys is this red car. Right opposite it Albert Einstein is looking on.
This is how you become fatter.
Check out Titus' shocked face upon seeing I've morphed into a muscle man!
Some other points:
1) We walked around everywhere trying to find the chick incubation chamber (not sure if it's the correct name), finally to realise that it's under repair. A cleaning lady mentioned about it being spoilt such that the chicks can't hatch.
2) I had to delete some past photos in my card because I hadn't downloaded them in my pc. So after taking a few photos, my card was full. Each time I wanted to take a photo, I had to go through more than 50 photos and video files and decide which to delete. Next time, I must remember to download regularly.
3) I took more than 2 hours trying to do this post. Learning to edit the movies, add some special effects to the photos. And I'm doing this during office hours. Oops!
