To the beach!

It's the holidays and since we are not out of the country, we decided to take this opportunity to bring the boys out into the sun a little more. It's been some time since we last went to Tanjong Beach at Sentosa and so that's where we went!

Funny little poser!

We were all suited up this time, knowing that it was going to be a really sunny day. Loads of sunblock, caps and long sleeved rashguards, off they went into the water.

We even caught the NDP flypast rehearsal. We first saw 2 groups of F16s flying in the V formation and a little while later, we saw the chinook flying the huge Singapore flag across the sky! It was a really nice sight to see.

We really like Tanjong Beach at Sentosa because it is usually not very crowded there. The water the sand there is fairly clean (other than the many rusty bottle caps we find in the sand because of Tanjong Beach Club). And because there's Tanjong Beach Club is there, we can also easily grab a bite if we want to and use their day beds to lounge. Food's rather expensive there though. We usually order a side of fries and a soda and that comes up to $22 already! Still a rather nice place for the boys to play. The crowd usually start coming in after 12pm and that's when we start packing up to leave. :) In any case, there are usually not many people on weekdays.

There's a little lap pool at Tanjong Beach Club. We didn't allow the kids to go in the last couple of times because it is usually very crowded. (It's only a small lap pool.) Also, their daddy always thinks that we are at the beach to play with the sand and the sea and not the pool. :P We allowed them to get in for a splash that day and they had quite a bit of fun. It was a 1.1m deep pool and so even Kieran couldn't reach the bottom of the pool without having water over his head.

Last activity that day was to bury Kieran in the sand! Kiefer dutifully patted the sand down on his brother so that he would be nicely packed in. :P

 

Going back into the water the wash off all the sand before we leave.
