Seussical the Musical – Oh, the thinks you can think!
Oh, the thinks you can think | Think and wonder and dream | Far and wide as you dare | When your thinks have run dry | In the blink of an eye | There’s another world there...~ Dr. Seuss.

Sun’s Out, Kids’ Out – Go Karting at Kartright Speedway
My daughter ‘drove’ me around today. Round and round. She was steering the Go Kart and negotiating the bends, avoiding the kerbs and other cars with me, seated by her side controlling the accelerator and brakes.

Apart from the Skyline Luge@Sentosa, Go Karting now ranks highly on one of our favourite parent and child bonding activities! Our 1st Daddy and Child Go … [Read more...]
