Singapore

For Thanksgiving break, we went to Singapore.   It's just a 40 minute flight from Malaysia and flights are really cheap. Singapore is a very unique place.  It rained a lot!  It's really clean, nice, and safe.  No chewing gum though. :)

Butterfly Park

Who doesn't love butterflies, right?  The Butterfly Park here is amazing.  It's a beautiful habitat with a big net over it so they don't fly away.  It was a really warm day (you can notice many rosy cheeks). What started as a butterfly observing time ended in a butterfly "rescue" effort, as you can imagine.  See below. :)

Fraser's Hill

We ventured out to a place called Fraser's Hill.  It's a cute little town in the Malaysian Highlands about 2 hours from Kuala Lumpur.  People from Malaysia like to visit it since it's quite a bit cooler up there.  You travel on a windy road up to the tip top of the rainforest.  Once the kids survived the car ride, we loved the view.  It was so beautiful.

Random Pictures

The girls all got haircuts yesterday.  Isabelle and Anna got trims.  Marin got a big haircut.   The bob is back!  She recently lost her front tooth as well!

 Patrick opted for no haircut this time.  He said maybe next time.

Batu Caves

We go exploring on Saturdays.  Chris had surgery on his collarbone this week, but decided he was up for a day out (what a trooper).  So, we went to see the Batu Caves. It is a sacred Hindu temple. It was discovered in 1892 and is made of natural limestone. There are 272 steps. It is beautiful! We've never seen anything like this before!  The monkeys hung out on the steps and loved taking bananas and peanuts from people.
