Tree Top Walk

We finally attempted the HSBC tree top walk last week.  The kids were excited initially as we reached the carpark.  Once we studied the map on the distance, they began to have cool feet.  We agreed to conquer the 7.6km route and target to finish before lunch time.


The initiate track is muddy and rough.  I was glad my kids were co-operative and helped each other through the initiate 2.4km till we reached SICC.  From then till the bridge, they started to show fagtiue and started to appreciate our clean environment around our home.  I appreciated the sign post along the way and direct us to the brigde soon. Some of the steep slopes along the way really tired them out.




The whole family energy increased once we reached the bridge.  The sight from the top of tree is spectacular.  As the path is narrow on the brigde, we could not stay too long to take more photos. 

 

After the bridge, the trip back to the carpark was an easier route due to down slopes.  Maybe, the whole family were so hungry, we reached the carpark in much faster pace.  After the trip, I confirmed that my kids are city kids and I have a big gap to bring them into nature appreciation.

Cycling with Kids

Last Friday was our cycling day in East Coast.  I didn't expect the convenient ride from East Coast to Changi Airport Cargo complex.  I would recommend family to attempt this route as it builds great family bonding.  The kids are so determine to reach the final destination at Changi.  We found nice resort chalet in NSRCC and will plan to attempt this route again.

I observed how such activities helped to bring the kids closer to each other.  They take care of each other during the ride and constantly prompting each other on danger or new discoveries.  I am also glad to note how determine they have been.

Though a long tiring 4 hour ride, we all enjoyed in many ways throughout this cycling day.  We are looking forward to the coming tree top walk in coming Friday.
