Dearest Natalie,

Mandy and Elaine Jie Jie suggested going for a picnic at the Botanical Garden last Saturday afternoon. Of course we were all more than happy to tag along and we also got grandma to join us! It was great fun, a pity grandpa couldn't join us because of the AGM at the condo.

Daddy drove us to the factory to pick grandma up and upon reaching home, we changed you into more comfy wear and set off for the Botanical Garden in 2 separate vans. Mandy Jie Jie prepared alot of yummy food for us, we were going to have sandwiches for our picnic. Jiu Jiu also found some cool packet juice which he claimed we used to drink them when we were young. I thought he was bluffing me because I couldn't remember drinking that before, however Grandma said that he's right. So maybe my memory is failing me.

It was a nice sunny day. We reached there at around half past three in the afternoon. The sky was still bright and sunny when we were on our way there. However dark clouds started to form above us by the time we reached. The gloomy sky didn't drive away our enthusiam and we went ahead to lay our picnic mat, take out our yummy food and all of us had a jolly good time.

Your first visit to the Botanical Garden was when you were 3 months old. This time at 14 months, you were able to walk on the grass. You fell down a couple of times while running down the slope and you didn't seem to like the feel of grass on your hands and legs. You squealed in excitment when you saw the mandarin ducks swimming leisurely in the pond. You were also fascinated by the fishes, tortoises in the pond. We gave you bread crumbs to feed the fish and you fed yourself instead. When you finally understood that those bread crumbs are for the fish, you enjoyed throwing them into the water.

It was a pity that it finally rained heavily halfway and we had to cut our picnic trip short and go home. All of us had a good time enjoying the afternoon in each other's company. Rest assured we'll be going for another picnic together soon.
