Seletar Aerospace Park

Now that we have so many kids and many of them are getting bigger (literally), we are on a constant look-up for interesting open space venue so that the kids can run around during gatherings. Unless really exceptional special occasions, we avoid meeting at somebody's house. The noises that the kids produced can really cause noise-induced deafness and the aftereffect is often more devastating than a hurricane sweeping past.

October is a busy month bcos we have 4 October babies and Zaky is one of them. The honour of planning falls on Auntie R, who has 2 October boys. She suggested the Seletar Aerospace park. There is a nice (but fairly expensive) Wheeler Estate and most importantly, a little playground to entertain the kids. After much deliberation, we agreed to have potluck and picnic by the playground bcos there were so many little people to feed and we need something cheaper to feed them. Sounds great already. 

We headed to the park right after the kids' classes and I realised how far it was from our house. We drove for a long time before arriving at the park. It was the 1st time that the kids had visited the place and soon was off running with the other kids while the parents set up the picnic. 

The venue wasnt too bad. The only problem was the lack of shelters, except at the nearby restaurants. We eyed the dark cloud that hopefully was passing by and went into a mad frenzy packing when the huge raindrops fell. We had to take shelter at Wheeler's Estate. It was a critical decision of staying or going. We opted for the former. Fortunately, it was indeed a passing cloud and the rain stopped soon after.

We did some impromptu overhead shelter using the structure by the playground and the picnic mats. It was good enough to hold off a light drizzle, which by God's grace, didnt come by again.

The kids had a blast! It was actually a small playground but the kids could go on forever with the companion.

Some of them also headed off to watch the planes takeoff. My kids were too lazy. Lol.

Finally, time for the cake. Zaky didnt know that we would also celebrating his bday and was initially reluntant to join in the candle blowing.

But he was super pleased to receive bday presents. Haha.

Then it was more running around. Daddy Lim had to leave for his poly gathering and took most of the heavy stuff with him while the kids played somemore.

Time passes so quickly when there is so much fun. We didnt leave until it was 8pm and not after the all important picture. The beauties.. the littlest one included.

We took a Grab home and when all the fun was done, the tummy started grumbling. We had to  drop off at JP to grab a burger.
