The first family "run"

This is an ultra back-dated post. Wrote it sometime back but never got around to posting it up with some photos...

Hubby signed the family up for a 5km Safari Zoo run. This run is in memory of Ah Meng, the very famous orang utan ambassador of Singapore Zoo. Little did he expect that I would get pregnant and be in my third trimster on the day of the run... The plan was to have N run with us while M is placed under my MIL's care.

Since I was not in the condition to run, we decided to bring M along and i would push her in the pram... It was our first Safari Zoo Run- the flag off was suppose to be 10am, we reached the outside of the zoo at abt 9.55am and only entered the zoo multi storey car park at around 10.15am. The traffic condition outside the zoo was horrid - very slow traffic... In all we were about 1/2 hr late and didn't get to run in the Safari zoo area which meant we only clocked about half the distance of about 2.5km. 

For me its a relief! And they captured a photo of us! Cool eh! ;)

During the run, we took some photos of the kids having their water parade. The magic words to make N run faster - "cold 100 plus up ahead!".


After the zoo run, baby M had her fish and egg macaroni in chicken stock for lunch. The rest of us had western food at Ah Meng Cafe. Expensive but still edible... We were expecting the KFC at the children play area to be ultra crowded (which turn out to be the case). Baby M thankfully was asleep after her lunch. 


We did a little walking around - visited the new polar bear enclosure. The kids loved the new display where there was a mini eskimo igloo which was pretty cold! Check out baby M! 



I think the most pitiful of all was hubby. I pushed the pram while he carried both kids- M on the pognae carrier while N was piggy backed... 

The whole day ended with waterplay (i hid in KFC in the aircon) and the animal/pet show at the kids area. M & N enjoyed the show and N got to stroke the cute dogs.  That marks a tiring day-  hubby was most tired among us... I guess he will think more than twice before signing up for such runs in future! :p
