What Can a One-Day Trip Achieve?

Quite a lot, apparently.

August 31st (Merdeka Day) this year saw us making a one-day trip to Taiping.  Cousin Jonathan would be having his 4th birthday celebration, and Ethan and Hannah were really excited to go celebrate it with him.

The *long* wait for the cake to be cut and served was incredibly excruciating…

…but definitely a worthwhile wait!  All the 4 kids really enjoyed the cake… 🙂

The idea for the game I initiated, “Who can stay quiet the longest?”, was eagerly received by the kids…

Later in the evening, we took the kids to one of the huge playgrounds in Lake Gardens where they worked up a sweat (and appetite).

Just in case you’re wondering, Ethan is saying “1 Malaysia!” and was asking Jonathan to do the same, but Jonathan wanted to hold up the “peace” sign instead.  Hannah and Phoebe, meanwhile, were just contented to look pretty for the camera.

And there you have it…all in a one-day trip 🙂
