If you recall, we recently went to the Turf Club to pat the horses and watch them race. Tiffany told us that Pasir Ris Park has a white horse, so today (Thur) we ventured there. There was not only a white horse, but there were several horses and 2 miniature horses too! In fact, it is a horse-riding stable/school.
Firstly, we booked 3 bikes for 2 hours at only $5 per bike! Pasir Ris park is a much smaller park than the East Coast (EC), however, it has so many interesting things there, like:
- a big playground with rope tunnels and looonnng slides
- a small garden maze
- a steep slope to zoom down
best of all, it's not jammed-pack crowded like EC.
We also investigated a pool of water on the beach on which a family were excitedly scooping up things from. It turned out to be a low-tide pool filled with tiny sea-snails, tiny fish and very very tiny hermit crabs. Our brave Tiffany held one up to show us and was pinched on her nails...she quickly dropped it into the pail of the little girl who was scooping things with her mum.
We cycled the entire park and returned our bikes about 1.5 hours later. The girls wanted to see the horses. As we were not allowed to pat the miniature horses, we each took a pony ride at $10 per person....a bit ex but I guess if we travel abroad, we probably would have paid more to ride a horse!! I rode one in NZ before I knew Bert, and remembered it to be an exhilarating but scary ride as I almost rolled off the horse's neck when it picked to nibble a flower at the cliff's edge then (in NZ that is!!). So when I rode the pony/horse, the same feeling like I could roll off the horse's neck came back. It was a new and fun experience for the girls.
The highlight for Tiffany today was the hermit crabs. For Felicia, it was the pony ride. For me, I liked both. In all, the girls and I enjoyed our little family (minus dady) out...a relatively "cheap" holiday without leaving Singapore :) Actually, there are fun things to do in Singapore without need to go overseas especially when the kids are still young.
For those who are interested to know where this place is, ask me at the LC Xmas gathering.
Love Theresa
