Weekend

We had a great weekend. On Saturday we hung out in the morning and then went swimming in the afternoon. Elyse wore her new swimsuit and water-wings. She had a great time playing in the water. She could have stayed in there all afternoon.

In the evening Toby and I met up with some friends at Roberston Quay which is farther up the river than Clarke Quay. We had good food and great conversation. You can see pictures on my friend's blog. After dinner the rest of the group headed to a comedy show. Toby and I didn't get tickets so we walked around the area. It is beautiful at night. We were able to catch some of the practice fireworks for the National Day Parade and also hear some live music.


As we were walking we saw a bunch people trying to figure out how to place a sign over one of the bridges. It turned out someone was going to proposed that night. The sign said "Billie Will You Marry Me?" We didn't get to see the actually proposal, just the practice. I hope she said yes.
On Sunday we went to church, I drove (crazy), and then in the evening we met some people visiting from Houston down at Raffles City. Toby had met them at church the week before and found out they live close to our house in Texas. They are here visiting family (she is Singaporean). We went to a great dumpling place. Fun was had by all.
