Now that the baby is a month old, it's time for our weekend family exploration to resume! Yup, I have been looking forward to going out again with the kids, especially since we didn't manage to do much during the March hols.
Sooooo.. we travelled far this time round and visited @jurongfrogfarm (which is not in Jurong but in Lim Chu Kang). The moment we reached, the hubby was saying that it looked old and run-down, and that we would probably stay for a brief while only so I even left the stroller and my diaper bag in the car.
Well, it turned out that we stayed for over an hour eventually! Why? Firstly, we made our way to feed the frogs, where you can buy the food from the shop at $2 per tub. There were three feeding pens which were filled with frogs but it didn't seem like they were very hungry.
Next, the hubby discovered that you could go frog catching at $10 per pax for 30 minutes! He asked if the kids wanted to try and as expected, the girls were game enough and said yes, especially the firstborn who loves animals, bugs and all kinds of creatures. I didn't expect the 5yo boy to want to try and in fact, I told him we could just watch from the side. It turned out that he asked if he could join in and do it as a trio. Yup, of course, we let him try though I was quite sure he wouldn't be plucky enough to pick up any frog.
I was proven wrong because after seeing how his sisters did it - Angel was an expert from the start while Ariel learnt the techniques shortly - this boy managed to do it on his own not once, not twice but many times.
There was initially no one else but when passers-by saw our kids learning to pick up frogs and being gentle with them, over half a dozen of them let their kids try it out too. Woohoo! Yup, so we stayed till the end because the girls were busy carrying the frogs to all the newcomer kids and telling them not to be afraid.
It was a first experience for them and let's just say they are definitely braver than Mama (who is squeamish just watching them with the frogs, like how I still don't like mealworms but the kids hold and treat them as pets). Looking forward to more learning trips and fun adventures as a family!
