Catching the Black Knights

As part of Singapore's SG50 celebrations, our special forces of the Air Force put up an ariel show the days leading up to National Day. Scheduled at noon at the Marina Bay area, the 25-minute show was a draw for everyone. K was staying over at Grandma's and going gaigai with her, so I was left with the boy and free time and I thought - why not bring him to catch the planes? 
 
And so we did. I had wanted to take public transport, but prompted by the husband, I bravely drove and we set off from home a whole hour ahead as I was expecting massive jams. Surprisingly, it was not too bad at all! We parked at the MBFC and trotted over to the promotory.
 
 
Someone was happy to be able to use his M&Ms umbrella (it had stopped
raining by then but oh boy, was it hot and sunny)

We even had time to grab coffee and cake, and we set up picnic. There were families about and J warmed up to them, sharing his M&Ms (the chocolate, not the brolly!) and offering our mat too.

Terribly pleased to have his own 'pretend coffee'
 
The show was pretty impressive! While we were not too close, it was still visible and the pictures off my phone was terribly taken, so none of that nonsense here. You're better off googgling for images. Let's just say that we had a good time - despite the humidity (post-showers) and hot sun.
 
After the air show, I promised to show him my office, so off we went.

Getting comfortable!

We spent some time walking about the office, getting him acquainted with the space and view and he was thrilled.

Did not take him long to snooze after the afternoon of excitement. It was a pleasant Saturday!
