Childrens pool

The kids and Marius was very eager to go to the pool as soon as we arrived Varsity Park. The complex in the kids pool is very popular!
Water spraying out from the complex, three slides, ropes to climb in.....fun for kids all ages!Phillip is no chicken in the water....
Thomas is a bit more careful, but fare off afraid!
The big boy also loved the slide.....but the pool is quite shallow, so some one got a sore bottom!
Time to get some sugar so we can keep on going! Marius is also telling one of his "very funny" Swedish jokes!

Linda and Marius are comming....

On Friday 18th of July Linda and Marius arrived at Singapore. To make a proper welcome we had Norwegian flags and a banner.... In the excitement of seeing Linda and Marius we forgot to take a picture of them......

Cooling down...

The temperature is not that bad here in Singapore, but the humidity just knocks you out some times..... Then the pool is great to have!

Dad is definitely the best one to have in the pool. The kids love to swim and play with him.
Phillip is already getting a good grip on the swimming - ducking under and paddling away. He loves the freedom of no floaties (which is just with daddy....mom is to scared!)
How much water can I get into this hole.....
Being thrown of daddy's back can be fun if one is prepared. Thomas has been angry a few times when he wasn't prepared and got his nose full of water..tjihi!
Thomas diving down to get the bucket.

Jurong bird park

On Sunday (14th of july) we decided to be proper tourists and visit the bird park. Its only a 15 min drive from where we live.

The kids love penguins (the stuffed penguin Granddad sent have been used a lot + the movie Happy Feet!), so they both agreed that this was the first place we should stop. For 20 sing dollars we were allowed to pat the penguin and had our picture taken.
Heaps of people feeding birds, so no point for us to do it this time.... maybe next time this will be Thomas' or Phillips' hand!
Parrots playing in the water.
Legs got a bit tired.....so we went on the train. Gave up our seats to a big Indian family, and where allowed to sit in the front with the driver.
And then it was about time to head home.........

Washing the car

On Saturdag (12th of July) Rachel, our domestic helper (being political correct!) decided to wash our car - and yes, it really needed it! The boys really wanted to come along, so of we went - two women and two blond headed boys...
As we got stared suddenly a bunch of men (Indian I think) gathered around "getting water"! Quite funny to constantly have people coming over for water or to wash hands. Tjhihi!!
Rachel giving the boys a quick lesson on how to do it.
The boys worked really hard......for a while....
Then they got bored with washing....but not with playing with the water!
Soap and water can make it very slippery...... Au!!

Sundaydinner....

In the middle of the city you find Chijmes, which is an old convent made in to restaurants and bars.

A nice outdoor area where the kids could play while waiting for the food. Phillip loves his Singapore taxi-car!

Dinner was eaten quickly, so more activities where needed. Phillip got a lot of attention laying on the ground drawing!


Daddy is doing a great job entertaining the tow boys at the same time!


Two lovely boys!!
But now it is about time to go home..... No food left, and we have played with all the toys!!
