River Boat and Downtown 

We went on a riverboat ride and got some more great views of the city. Afterwards we had dinner by the river and walked around some. Here are some pictures from the evening:

Singapore Flyer 

The Singapore Flyer is a very cool way to get some great views of the city. I think everyone thought the 30 minute ride was really great. Here are some pictures, there are more at our flickr page:

Jurong Bird Park 

We went to the Jurong Bird Park today, and it was really a lot of fun. We saw some pretty cool stuff. Afterwards, we went up the hill by the park and ate at a fantastic Japanese restaurant. We had to keep ordering more food for the kids because they liked it all so much (well, not the prawn heads so much, but the rest of it).

East Coast Park 

We had a great time today riding bikes along Singapore's East Coast Park and finished the day with a wonderful dinner at a seafood place called Jumbo. I didn't have my camera most of the time, but I did break it out and get some pictures:

Singapore Night Safari 

The Night Safari was way cool. It was too dark to take good pictures, but it was perfect for watching the animals. I think everyone had a really great time. The bat house was especially cool, because we were right in there with the bats (lots of them).

Here a few mediocre pictures I managed to snap off:

Singapore Botanical Gardens 

We had some rain, which was probably better than heat, and it mixed well with our trip through the "rain forest" trail in the Singapore Botanical Gardens. Here are a few pictures:

First Evening in Singapore 

We landed this morning, but everyone is feeling great and we're having a great time in the city. Here are some pictures from this evening:

(The wheelchairs are from a restaurant called "The Clinic," which has a hospital theme. We didn't actually eat there, we just sat in their chairs so we could take pictures.)
