Botanic Gardens (Jacob Ballas)

Today, we went down to the Botanic Gardens to visit the Children's Garden by Jacob Ballas, recommended by Auntie PT.
We had breakfast at Mr Prata opposite NIE. Baby G enjoyed the prata kosong but not the Banana prata, guess it was too mushy for him.

We started our walk from 950am. The weather was sunny & windy, just nice for a slow, leisurely stroll along the gardens. We made our way down to the Children's Garden which was near the Eco-Garden.
Our 1st stop was the food making process, followed by the walk along the plants with a variety of smells. Do some of the plants look familiar?
In order :- Curry Leaves, Daun Limau Pulut, Laksa leaves, Mango plant, Kunyit leaves.
We saw a tree house and Baby G enjoyed all the climbing. He then walked across a log with daddy's help. He liked looking at the mini-waterfalls and walked across a "hanging" bridge. Baby G played on a see-saw and walked through a maze.


The final stop was a 'water stop". Baby G was initially apprehensive about going in, but soon he forgot about being scared and started playing with the water. But he was still kinda scared of the much larger fountains.


When we told him it was time to go, he was so disappointed. We stopped by the Kidz Cafe for a rest & some drinks and it was time to go home. Baby G was so tired from all the running & playing, he was truly exhausted and slept all the way home.

Goodbye Botanical Gardens, we'll definitely come again.....

San
hugs & kisses
