My first (group) date with a 6-year-old :)

(Testing out "Blog Touch", for it's mobile photo update; looks like it's going to work )

This national day holiday, we did a one night stay at Sentosa.  We didn't realise that 10th Aug is school holidays, so we booked the 8th-9th instead.  Over the past few years, we tried many different hotels.  As I remembered one of the most spacious one was Festive hotel at RWS.  The last time we were there was for Lynn's 5th BD (I think).  This time round, we managed to quite comfortably squeeze 6 pax.  Brayden took the upper bunk bed; the 3 girls took the queen size bed; WK and myself took the sofa bed (it's the size of in-between super single and queen).  We brought along a sleeping bag, which complimented the sofa bed.  My assessment is that this was the most comfortable one-room-fit-many hotel room.  

This was the first time that I brought Brayden out.  It had always been the girls.  Brayden is now 6++, going to be 7 in a few months' time.  Being old enough, he didn't give any trouble at all.  It was really fun for the cousins; that night, in the room, they played hide and seek.  I'm glad to have this opportunity to interact with Brayden.

The kids and the teens clambered for the bunk bed.


The teens claimed to have missed lunch, took off for food.  So I took the kids for a swim.


WK and MIL arrived at 3+.   After we washed up, the whole gang head out for beach station.  WK and the 5 cousins tried the skyline and luge.
 




The skyline ride does not stop at all; passengers have to disembark while it is moving.  WK took this nice pic of the girls in motion (jumping off and away from the skyline carriage).


MIL and I waited for them at the bottom.  One by one, they come down by the luge.








Dinner for 8


Here's one pic for remembrance.  Say cheese...


The next morning, we brought them to do the indoor sky diving.  Brayden was underaged; Lynn did it before and didn't want to try again.

These 2 had a blasting good time.


After this, 3 of them did a 5 minutes Segway, while Lynn and myself hang out at the beach.    

Heading back to the hotel via the Casino entrance, for check out at 12pm.


Me at Siloso beach..




Happy Birthday Singapore!
