The kids
Wishing one an all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy new year. We will be keeping Christ in Christmas this year and there will be no extravagant celebrations. We will be spending time together as a family and having fun together. Do join us for cake though as we celebrate Jesus birthday.

The boys and me
During our trip to Phuket one of the activities which we opted to do was a treetop adventure at Phuket Xtreme Adventure. Monkey boy had tried tree climbing when we brought him to Forrest Adventure at Bedok. However at that time Doggie boy was too young and didn’t meet the height requirement and had to sit out while his brother had his fun. This time both boys were able to have their own adventures in the trees.

Monkey boy and R went on the adult’s course while Doggie boy and I opted for the simpler course and stayed with the Kids Zone. Monkey boy was raring to go and R had to catch up to him. Talk about a good afternoon workout 🙂
Overcoming the obstacle course
The obstacle course was more complex and there were more stations at this Adventure park as compared to the one in Bedok. However how difficult and challenging they were they did not pose much difficulty to Monkey boy as he managed to clear every station.
Doggie boy at the Kid zone
The Kid Zone was set up amongst a cluster of trees and there was a large safety net covering the whole area. Doggie boy and I did not need to wear a safety harness and we were given only gloves to protect our hands from bruising. He didn’t manage to complete all the obstacles but it was certainly a good experience for him. Doggie boy doesn’t really fancy these climbing activities but he did step out of his comfort zone to try them. It was a commendable effort on his part and I’m proud of him. Maybe next time he will be ready for the adult course and we can all go on the same course together.
