We decided to get a breath of fresh air this afternoon after staying home for most of the past 10 days. Since the weather forecast said there was going to be a thunderstorm, we reckoned it would be quite deserted here and we were right.
Yup, while we are staying away from crowded places like shopping malls for the time being, we hope to continue doing what we love to do as a family - explore nature parks!
This was our first visit to Chestnut Nature Park and we had a good workout as we hunted for wildlife. We spotted ants, grasshoppers, millipedes, skinks, macaques, spiders, snails, fishes, birds, squirrels and...... see the last pic for the highlight of our visit. Can you spot it? Hint: It is green in colour.
Not surprisingly, the kids whined a little, especially when ants crawled onto our legs. A couple of them fell down, one threw tantrum and there were bickers here and there too. But other than that, we were really thankful to take a walk in the park and they were always excited whenever they spotted a creature. We also crossed a bridge and walked over a stream, and it was so quiet that we could hear the rushing water, calling of birds and chirping of insects.
This was the only group photo we took along the nature trail. Even though it was deserted and we were basically on our own, we still walked in pairs (6 of us made 3 pairs!), kept a distance and had our masks on most of the time. We walked around 3km today and I think that is a good achievement with 3 kids and a 3-month-old baby. Haha. Thankfully, it didn't rain yet when we left so the weather was perfect during our trip.
HBL resumes tomorrow and it stretches till mid June for me because the boy will continue to have his K2 lessons virtually. While we are still happy to stay home, an outdoor walk truly does wonders to rejuvenate our minds and I appreciate it lots. Grateful for today.
Hope everyone had a good Vesak Day holiday too!
