Singapore National Museum

Jenna had a Girl Scouting outing to the Singapore National Museum on Saturday, and she picked dad to go with her.  What I didn't know, was that I would not be allowed to actually go with her, but had to leave her with her troop for the two hour period.

So ... while she was enjoying the museum, I also wandered around the surrounding area (mostly outside) and finished up in the museum when I needed to cool off.

Just a couple of pictures from our day.

Jenna and her Girl Scout Troop.

National Museum Singapore

I love an outdoor escalator in a park.

Entrance to the Christian cemetery, within Fort Canning Park

Sacred to the memory of Mr. John Hide, Gunner of H.M.S. Renard who departed this life 4th April 1860.

Sacred to the memory of Thomas Richards, Late Chief Steward of the steam ship Bincaporl (spelling?) who departed this life on the 25th December 1862 Aged 27 Years.  The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away.  Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

Some sort of photo shoot.  The old Fort Canning gates.

An exit out of the old walled fort

In the museum, this is half photo, half painted.  Really neat.

Also in the museum, an indoor movie theater to watch the changing Singapore on film.

West Coast Park - One of Kristin's Favorite Walking Places

Kristin often walks at West Coast Park, which is close to school.  Recently, she took a number of pictures to remind us of this beautiful park.

Close up of some of the flowers and trees in the Park.

Some signs in the Park.  We are always amused by the signs in Singapore.

ICS Carnival

The ICS Carnival is a big fund raiser each fall, which is lots of fun.  All 3 girls have loved the carnival all 4 years we have been here in Singapore.  The last two years, we have run the prize booth, which has also been a lot of fun.  Something to kid the big kids busy while the young ones play.

Game Time

Look at my muscles.

Trying to blow up the flamingo before we go.

The food area ... full of treats from all over the world.

The prize booth ... which is where we spent the entire day giving out prizes.
