Close to Nature....

Bismillah...

The attempt of getting the kids to wake up early was a failure.. hehe!
And looking at the weather on a cloudy wed morning, I thought that it gonna rain & I have to cancel the outdoor trip for the gals that day.
But Allah is the Best Planner. :)
At half past 8, when I saw the sneak peek of the sun, woke the gals up & prepare a quick breakfast!

And off we go to Bukit Batok Nature Park!
The intention to go to the park is to get the gals appreciate the nature & His creations. 

I guess we had too much of man's creations surrounding us - living in the concrete jungle here. 

So after a long walk up & down the hills *which actually there's a short cut to the pond, heheh!*, we sat just next to the Pond Plaza & had our breakfast there! We talked about Allah's creations like the Trees, Rocks, Hills, Water, Insects, Birds & once the gals start talking, they never stop... *right?* hehe!

To just sit & look at your surroundings with all His creations, the feeling was Masha Allah! 

 And yah, while busy checking out the nature, a little friend came by.
Here is Mr Bulu-bulu Caterpillar - thats what Airyn called it. ;)

There is a playground with sand play area, just like an old-school playgrounds in the 90s. 

There's a stream which came from the pond.
And I brought the gals to wash their hands & feet at the stream. It was fun! The typical way, we will go to the sink & do our washing, but this time round, it was a different fun experience!

We talked about water, who created it, how it was form & where it came from...
Shaleez simply loves the beauty of how water was form. Alhamdullilah. 

 Before we leave, we got to say bye-bye to the birds, which i can say they were quite tame. The birds were hoping for some food to be thrown at them. Sorry birds, next time perhaps. :/ 

Feel like we are at the Jurong Bird Park too. Hehehe!

 Heres the overview of the park! West-siders, do check the park out!
A fun & free trip with lotsa adventure & cool exploring stuffs for our little explorers!
Have fun, getting close to the nature, getting close to Him. :)

To end it off, I got my 5yo to do a little work after the visit. *trying to teach her how to read & get to know more words too* 

What did we see? 

So heres her write up.... ;)
