We had such a packed long weekend and thankfully, we also rested well.

Friday started with the entire family, minus Bev who was on flight and James who we presume had work, visit my father's grave. It's been 27 years since my father has passed on. And I'm glad the 2 eldest brothers seem to have buried whatever old hatchet they had and the 2 elder SILs have also started talking. 

After the 1/2 hour spent at the grave, Robin and his family went off while we sent Jerry's family to the nearest train station to take their connecting bus to JB where they were going to spend the night at. The rest of us went for lunch at Tiong Bahru, took a walk around the estate to check out the quaint cafes and then went home to nap.

After my weekly magic-clean and mop, we were out of the house for dinner. The hubs had suggested checking out a fairly new shopping centre near his colleague's condo but the parking lots were so limited that we went off and went to another mall at Choa Chu Kang. We are quite sick of visiting the usual malls at our area and we didn't want to venture to town. 

And yesterday morning, we went farm hopping! We visited the fish farm first because I wanted to let K have a hand at longkang fishing and since it is our first stop, we were all energetic still. It took us a while to realise where to go for the easy catch and we brought home quite a few of those fishys but at least 4 have died at the time of this entry. :( I've told K that we should release them back to the waters the next we time we go again.

We went off to the goat farm next but missed the milking session as we were busy trying to catch them fishes earlier. But we got to pet the kids and that was enough for K. The hubs did buy a small bottle of goat's milk for her and 2 big ones home, which I politely declined .Live goats and mutton smell the same. Eeekkk.

We drove over to Bollywood Veggies for lunch and then walked around the 'farm' for a bit but there were not much to see. It looks more like a random plantation. We did go over to a proper agro-farm after but were not allowed to venture into the enclose area. So we stayed for awhile, looked at the fresh vegetables for sale and then went off to SPCA. Most of the dogs were bigger cross breeds and the cats didn't interest us much. 

Went back home and we all napped. Dinner was simple pesto pasta because I was quite sick of eating out although the hubs had wanted to go out, again.

Today, we had lunch near Ivy's parents after church. Her sis is in town from USA so it gives Ivy a week of rest while her sister takes over to look after their parents this 1 week. We went back home after lunch and again, napped.

When we woke up, the hubs decided to attend the wake of a friend's father and I decided to bring K down at the same time. Brought her to the playground where she enjoyed some 1/2 hour of play to reward her because she took her nap. The nice breeze downstairs made me allow K to play that long. Lol. 

So, we had a fun and rested long weekend. How about you?
