~ Children's Day - Visit to the Farm ~

It's Children Day and also a off day for me, hubby and my brother-in-law. Together, we took Jasper, Royston, JunLong, Denver and Gladys to the farm. The 8 of us squeezed into our little 1.5l Vios and we headed for the fish farm located in Pasir Ris.

Although there's only goose and fishes, it's a pretty nice and neat place. The kids collected their small buckets and nets and went on with their 'Guppies Hunt' happily. Jasper & Royston being the frequent visitors have no problem getting started. In no time, Jasper's bucket was full of guppies! Impressive! Denver on the other hand has no luck. The guppies were too fast and Denver being not experienced was too slow and gentle.. heheh :p Daddy got to help and teach him!

After a couple of tries, Denver finally caught his first guppy! Good Job! In total, he caught 5. Not bad for a first timer. Hmmm... I also wanted to try! -- Scoop! Yeah! caught a small one on my first attempt.. hehehe.

After the catching session, the guppies were released back to the pond. We told the kids they'll live longer there than bringing them home. :) Let's go feed the fishes and goose! Spent about an hour there and we set off to another farm - The Animal Resort @ Seletar Farmway which houses a mix selection of different types of animals including goats, dogs, cats, rabbits, swans, turtles, fishes, peacock etc.

It's our 2nd visit since April and there were new barriers being set up. There's one along the lake to prevent the children from falling during feeding. It's definitely safer that way.

Feeding time! The animal feeds are available at $2 for 3 packets. Depending on which animals you like to feed, you can mix the kind of packet feeds to purchase.. there are carrots, bread, fish feed etc to choose from. I guess the kids enjoyed feeding the rabbits most. :) If you intend to bring your child to the farm, a tip is to be there early. Especially on weekends! If you arrive late, the animals will be so full and they would not be bothered with you even if you push the feed to their mouths. :p

This marks the end of my long weekend. It's even more tiring than working.. and I think my body is giving me a warning signal that I need to rest.
