Let's Go for A Picnic!

Getting our kids preoccupied is quite a challenge. Once they're bored and restless, the 'poor' parents are also stressed as kids will be constantly fighting and whining.

So, one boring and restless afternoon, I made an announcement," Let's Go for A Picnic!". My Hubby agreed but my daughter couldn't believe that we were really going for a picnic until I asked her to pack and bring the food and drinks that she likes. Then she got so excited! It was a spur of the moment decision but we all got ready in less than 30 minutes. Both kids dressed, food packed, camera and blanket ready.


We went to one area near Lake Gardens where it's clean and has a wide space for kids to run around. And when we arrived there, we were 'welcomed' by several monkeys. It was the first time for our boy to see monkeys up close and he was delighted.

So, Hubby and kids ran around, while I have to watch for our belongings - food ( the monkeys might steal them) and bags ( the people might steal them too!). It was so nice to see the kids enjoying and running so freely. We then had our snacks and the kids resumed their play but decided to stop when we realized that Lyle was already panting and catching his breath. His pediatrician in the Philippines advised us not to exert him too much as she's suspecting that he has asthma. The clouds were getting darker too so, it was really time to go.



It was a fun afternoon and it's nice to do different kinds of activities with the kids everyday. Hopefully, we can go to the Taiping Zoo next time or maybe let the kids swim at the newly opened Coronation Swimming Pool.
