Today, Singapore celebrates its 52nd birthday, and we decided to get in on the fun - as you might expect, there was a lot of fun to choose from. We opted to take advantage of free admission to the National Museum of Singapore to learn a little bit more about our new home. Mike and I appreciated the walk-through of the history of Singapore section (they have a bell from the Revere foundry in Massachusetts!), while the kids most enjoyed the craft stations set up for the day (yes, Callie is still green).
For the evening, we ordered food delivery - partly just to try out food delivery here - and set ourselves up with the live stream of the National Day Parade (NDP).
Folks, the NDP is no Fourth of July parade. No, no, no. This was a full-on celebration of strength of this tiny nation - military and otherwise. It not only included a simulated terrorism incident that came with a parental advisory on the live-stream, it also included a bird-and-the-bee aerial ballet promoting family togetherness (and babies), as well as formation-flying drones. Our minds were blown.
Singapore, you sure do throw yourself a fine birthday party.
I laughed at Callie's DYI tattoos. Although I'm not sure I thought it was so funny when Alexa did it.
