picnic @ jacob ballas children’s garden

ytd, we had our first ever picnic… yup, my first, joelle’s first and megan’s first picnic ever! the girls (joelle and babes) planned to have an outing and finally decided on picnicking at the jacob ballas, which is in the botanic garden…

met with joey at yew tee to hike a cab together… we somehow missed the turn to jacob ballas and ended up at the botanic garden at 4:51pm…

after a really looong walk… up and down slopes… we finally reached the jacob ballas children garden… my goodness, can i just call it JBCG for short?

anyway, while waiting for joanne and lycia, we took a rest at the JBCG entrance and found this odd-looking tree sculpture…

we had a great spread and joanne had shown us what can be done if you put in a little effort… ok, actually, its too much an effort she put in… considering the fact that the rest of us just buy food off the shelves, joanne prepared this lunch box for the babies… look! micky and minie bread!

elephant and fishes! psst, i think joey was enjoying herself when she started to devour the elephant by “i’m eating the elephant’s trunk” (in case you don’t know whose joey, look at the last pict)

  2. its not really warm cuz we went there at late evening... but its still quite humid... so, tend to sweat quite a lot...

    the place isn't windy either, but that day, it rained before we went, so still quite ok... anyway, the kids going to run around, so definitely going to be sweaty anyway...

    btw, we can't actually picnic inside jacobs ballas garden. there is a signboard outside, but we didn't see it... until we finshed our food, then the guards came to tell us... and also, the park closes at 7pm, i think... :P

    nevertheless, its still a great place for kids... :)
