Last Two Homeschoolers' Outings

The homeschooling families from church try to get together once a month for an evening outing.  In August we met at a small waterpark near the new Singapore Sports Hub.

The lazy river was $2; the rest was free!

This is an unrelated side note, but the following picture is the view from the Sports Hub.  A beautiful view, except it was so hazy!  I'm not sure the cause of the haze that evening, but this is what Singapore looks like everywhere now too, due to forest fires in Indonesia.  The pollutant levels in the air here are at unhealthy levels.  Ghost Month just ended this weekend, so I had to joke that I wonder how they know the haze is from fires in Indonesia and not from all the offerings and burnings for the ancestors going on right in Singapore! There were SO many offerings set out and burn barrels smoking on Saturday!


September's homeschool outing was at Sembawang Park.  The kids were very happy to have a large field where they could play dodgeball and kickball.

There were also paths for riding scooters, and a nice playground.

We all really enjoy these evenings together and are thankful for the times when our children can gather with other children, even if it is not every day at school.  We also think often of, and pray for, the schools in the PRC.  We pray that God will bless the instruction of His covenant children through the Christian schools, as well as by those who find it necessary to homeschool.
