It was one of those public holidays so derod and I lugged the kids out for a late breakfast, and made our way to Marina Barrage to check out this place we've been hearing our friends talk about.
Apparently, the place gets quite crowded on weekends and public holidays. We had to park at some construction car park a little distance away and roll Rou over pretty interesting terrain.
The boy looking cool in his shades.
Making our way across the building to get to the fountains.
Told you Gabe was a particular one. While other kids would throw themselves into the water, he just stood there for ages just watching his favourite "water fountain!!" but would hear nothing of going near them.
Finally, I kinda pulled off his shoes and dragged him nearer. Took loads of convincing to even get him to step into the pool.
And I've to take him walking...
do some demonstrations...
before he got a little warmed up...
and I got some rest.
Checking out the place on his own, with lots of caution and hesitation.
Then it was papa's turn to walk around with him and my turn at babysitting and camera duty.
Gabe got ambushed by one of these. He was walking around aimlessly when he happened to step on one of these at the exact time the fountain gushed. The best part was that he got so startled he ran for derod in the opposite direction. Two seconds later he discovered the mistake and turned around for his papa, only to rush head on into the spray in the process.
The father and son walk
What rou was doing most of the time
Great weather. We all got a tan! But the showers came just as we left the place.
Now that he's wet, we can finally leave.
But not before taking a family photo.
