A Day with the Trescott Family

We began by bowling, which we had not done in ages!

Great fun laughing at ourselves and each other!

Since we had not bowled for so long, we took it easy and moved on to a quick snack before going to the beach for hotdogs and smores...

Aria wanted to build a fire in the hole... but it kept dying as when it consumed all available oxygen as it burned.

Soon, we helped the kids by enlarging the hole and providing a means for air to vent the fire.

The hot dog fire was content...

Balik Pulau Crawl with Loh and Koay Family

It is just a fish curry done in the traditional Malay style.

But given that the fish can't get any fresher, and the gravy is mild so that Aria fights me on drinking it up, we simply can't get enough of this curry at Eryna Cafe.

So of course, we had to share this spot with our foodie friends as part of our food crawl around Balik Pulau! 

Even Loh who first brought Monica to this place was along for the crawl!

In this well known coffeeshop, you can choose between the traditional assam laksa or the coconut enriched version. You can even get a half and half.

Finally, we went to the Chendol spot to cool off.

With lunch out of the way, we proceeded to the Nutmeg farm

Our host and presenter was very passionate and patient with our questions.

We were tempted to end our wonderful day with dinner together, but we were getting tired and needed to move on.

Aria and Silly Bands

Many thanks to Amy Schulte who introduced these simply amazing silly bands to Aria who has taken to making all sorts of things with them!

These days it is a rare moment to see Aria without her rainbow loom churning out some accessory.
