Dy's baby shower

Dy's baby shower turned out to be a big party with plenty of food, decorations and games.  She also had "surprise" guests come over from all over! Not pictured: Dan grilling hotdogs in the heat


En route from the city








How-big-is-the-belly

Paint-the-bibs

You lose a clothespin every time you say the word "baby", and this guy (Jon Mensing) managed to get everyone to say it.  He decided to wear his trophies all the way home.

Trip to Singapore

Traveling 30 hours to get there. 


Luckily got an extra seat for Mina on all four flights.  I don't know how we could have done it otherwise because she is way too wriggly now. Also, she's found a friend on the plane.

Arrived in Singapore

It was so HOT that even Dan went swimming



Jurong Bird Park

 



We went in search of a good coffee shop for Dan.  This one even roasts their own beans.

A blast from the past:

BBQ "for a few people"

Visiting the temple





Singapore Zoo.  
Here are some free-range peacocks

Non-scary otters

Turtles

We were there to see baboon feeding time.  Mina loves monkeys but it was so hot, she decided it was more important to "washing" in the water fountain and she missed the whole thing. 

Taking a break

Cooling off under the fan
