I took the kids to the Singapore Flyer today. It is 42 stories high, with a total height of 165 m (541 ft), and it is the tallest Ferris wheel in the world. I was a little concerned that Henry would freak out on the 30-minute ride but he did not (he has expressed a fear of heights for just about a year now). There was a bench in the center and he was happy to sit on that and look out the window. Anna asked him to come stand at the window with her once but he was cemented to the seat. This post will be enhanced by pictures at some point in time!
After lunch, we went home and played in the pool for a while. Then a huge thunderstorm came through (the biggest and longest one we've seen here so far--it rains every day since it is the monsoon season but it doesn't always come with lightning & thunder). The kids gobbled up the Thanksgiving leftovers tonight, too.
The best news of the day is that the air shipment is being delivered tomorrow morning! It's supposed to come between 9:30-10 and then we have a sitter coming at 11:45 so Craig & I can go house-hunting. I am also researching alternative preschools for Henry in case a spot doesn't open up for him this coming semester. I'm intrigued by the German European School and the Canadian International School. We'll see what happens!
