GoKart Fun with the Family

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Wordful Wednesday Go Kart ride

It had been quite a while since we took the kids for a Go Kart ride. They had been pestering us to bring them for a Go Kart ride over the weekend as the weather was good. We were in the vicinity of West Coast Park so we brought them there after lunch

Tiger girl and me

We got a three seater which R and I could pedal with Tiger girl seated behind. Unfortunately she didn’t really fancy seating in the seat behind and wanted to sit upfront. We had to take turns peddling her around the park.

Tiger girl enjoyed hitching a ride around the park. She kept on wanting us to pedal faster and faster but we felt it was safer to go at a moderate pace instead.

I didn’t get a chance to take a photo of Doggie boy on his Go Kart as he whizzed off immediately once he put his feet to the pedal.

Do you kids like to go on Go Karts too?

A Visit to the Peranakan Museum

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Wordful Wednesday Peranakan Museum

The traditional Kebaya blouse

Last month we brought the kids to the Peranakan Museum over at Armenian St. We haven’t been to this museum yet and thought it was a good opportunity to let the kids know more about their Peranakan roots. The kids are half Peranakan as I am while R is not.

A tea set

We saw many different Peranakan artifacts. I love how brightly colored this tea set is with intricate flower patterns hand painted on it.

A bowl

A fruit bowl which was used to decorate the coffee table. It would have looked great on any table with or without fruits in it.

A jewellery box

This jewellery box had beaded top which pattern was sewn in one bead at a time. It must have taken a really long time to sew the design with the colored glass beads.
