We filled our last days with our family together with as much fun as we could. We headed out to the Night Safari, Chinatown and Little India. We spent one day at Sentosa Island; an overpriced tourist mecca where we started on a luge ride and ended up sitting on the beach watching the kids have diving and splashing and belly flop contests. Phil won, but he was only willing to belly flop once... One day we went to Andrew's school to try out the bat he had received for Christmas and Phil and Matt ended up playing in a pick up baseball game where Andrew was elected field ump. Phil, who has not played baseball since 3rd grade, hit a double; Ma
tt knocked in a home run. We went to dinner with friends, and spent a couple days at the wake board park where we watched the boys and the dads play on boards with varying degrees of success. (The moms were smart enough to hang on the sidelines, drink beer and take pictures...) The older boys went to Kuala Lumpur on New Year's Eve, while we stayed behind and spent the evening with friends. We talked, and laughed, and read, and played video games. We spent a lot of time being thankful for one another, and for this opportunity to see a place we never expected to see. It was quite the experience.
In the end, we took them to the airport so they could return to school. We miss them every day. We so enjoyed having our boys with us. Not a minute went by that we did not wish our daughter was there too, but in spite of that we had one of the best times together any of us can remember. And for next year - hopefully more of the same, but next time, we are hoping all six of us will be there...
