Tackling Prickly Heat
Over the weekend we brought the boys to Botanic Gardens to play with their new Frisbee. It has been quite a while since we last brought them there and there have been quite a few changes to the place.
We visited the glasshouse where there was a new cactus garden. I was amazed that there were so many different cacti around and the glasshouse. Monkey boy didn’t know that it was possible for Cacti to have flowers as the pictures of cactus which he has been introduced to are mainly of those that were prickly and green.

Besides going to the Cactus garden we also came across the another lovely greenhouse which had bonsai plants.

After about an hour in the park the heat was getting to the boys and they had a real “cool” way of beating the heat. Ya!! Place the towel on your head. Doesn’t he remind you of a Coolie worker?

*Photos were taken with my Nokia handphone and edited with Picasa. I brought along my Sony Cybershot but was unable to take any shots as the camera battery was flat!!..Grr..must remind myself to charge the batteries before we go out on the weekend.

Don’t you hate that when it happens? It happened to me a few times before… and then there are those times when I took out the battery to charge and forgot to put it back before I headed out the door with the camera only to find out about it when I was about to take some pictures!
