The reason...

...we chose this family orientated village is because we feel that it's the perfect place for our son to grow up, near to nature, and yet not too far from civilisation. All these are just 5 mins walk from our doorstep.
Today, after Tobey's nap, FIL and MIL introduced me and Tobey to more of our own unexplored neighbourhood. Well, what can I say, me and SK are still trying to convert ourselves to be more "outdoor-ish" for our son's sake. My in-laws are the naturist! Hence they explored the area more than us. Anyways, we went for a nature walk.. around the ponds, across hills and into one of their many woodland trails.

Tobey walked, run and hopped so much! We stopped at one of the little piers around one of the ponds and decided to tickle the water with long weeds (sorry, I don't know what it's called)




and then waited for fish...
"Where's tish mama?"
(rest assured that he is within half an arm length from 3 adults)


of course, we threw in a littlebit of playground time as well......
up and down the little hill so many times, that is after 1 hr and 15 mins of nature walk. The neverending energy of two year olds.
Me and SK will really need to put our act together and bring him to these kinda walks more often and be more adventurous ourselves, since our son is the happiest being outdoor and seems to enjoys nature so much!

Tobey is a lucky little guy. I applaud your choice of neighbourhood, it is indeed a great place.

@Tsulin:No, no fish for us that day. There were quite a number of ppl fishing that day with juicy worms. We'll bring some bread there today to lure in ducks instead:P

@Siew: Thanks!
