I attended a farewell session for a Manager at a pub nearby the office then went on to meet the hubs and girl. Thankfully, these sessions usually end quite early. 

I had suggested going to the ilight festival but when we were nearing the open carpark, the queue to enter was snaking and so I suggested that we switch venue to Gardens by the Bay instead. Thankfully, the lanes were empty and the hubs could easily filter.

We have never been to GBTB at night and it was nice. There was a children's festival going on and the theme was dinosaurs. We quite enjoyed ourselves but I reckoned it could be better if we were there slightly earlier so K can take part in some of the crafting activities that were going on. By the time, we walked to see the dinosaurs, played games at the game booths, took in the beautiful light show at the supertrees, it was almost closing time when we walked back past the activity section. However, we did managed to bring home some pipe cleaners and the hubs was able to craft dinosaurs as intended.

And since it's the start of the week school holiday, the youngest BIL had some football clinic event going on at the stadium near our home and the hubs wanted to go say hi to him. But I didn't want to 'waste' time just going there and then sitting there so I suggested going to the swimming complex instead since the last time we went, it was closed for cleaning. 

We drove over, parked the car and went into the stadium to look-see and it was such a sight! So many kids were participating in the ActiveSG event so I think it's really quite successful. 

This time, we were in the pool for almost 2 hours and the girl had so much fun. In fact, the hubs and I prefer this pool because there is so much more we could do. We went to the wave pool on the rented big float, sat on it as we lazed in the lazy river, K played awhile in the children's pool and I managed to swim a lap in the lap-pool before I had to get out of the pool and walked back to the hubs and K because I really have no stamina to swim back. Lol.

We then joined the youngest bil and his family for lunch at KFC. The NIL also took part in the football training and the youngest SIL was there to watch. Then it was their turn to go swim while the bil had a later session at the field.

As for the 3 of us, we went home and knocked out. 

We then had naan dinner at the club with the Victors and Whites.

And today we caught up with them again when we attended a little girl's 1 year old birthday. It was quite sad because the only people who turned up was the family of the parents, the Victor couple sans children, the White mom and our family. The were so many goody bags packed for other children who were supposed to come. In fact, the hubs didn't want to attend either because we were so tired and didn't know them very well. It was the same for their party last year. Although they had more attendees, our group had to order more food and drinks so that we could maximise the minimum spending they had at the restaurant.

Anyhow, we had a nice weekend especially with the outing to GBTB and swimming. Hope you had a good one too!
