Botanic Gardens

On Saturday we decided to head to the Botanical Gardens for a few hours to take in some of the beautiful scenery Singapore has to offer. We had heard that it was a beautiful garden, and it certainly was. When we arrived, we were a little overwhelmed with how massive it was and didn't know where to start. We knew we only wanted to stay a couple hours so we decided to focus on one main section, the Orchid Garden. Here are a few photos from our trip.








The first 5 photos above were taken on our way to the Orchid Garden. The garden was filled with beautiful trees, plants and flowers.


A picture of my sweet boys, I never get tired of looking at them! =) We had to stop here as it is noted all throughout the Gardens where "prime" locations are to take pictures with little camera signs, haha! We have noticed that the people of Singapore really like to take pictures...everywhere they go! Guess we didnt want to feel left out, so we decided to join in!



The Orchid Garden was really neat, and it was amazing to see such a huge variety of Orchids. This Garden houses the largest collection of Orchids in the world. It was truly a gardeners paradise. My dad would have loved it!





When we finally decided we had had enough of the heat, humidity and horticulture, we decided to pack up the stroller and head home. We are so lucky to be able to get out and do a few things while we are here, all thanks to our "go baby" who is so cooperative. Harper loves being out,exploring new places, and getting attention from the locals (this needs a blog in itself :)). He even enjoyed looking at a few of the orchids as well! I know it says no touching, but who could tell this sweet face NO?!
