The Singapore Airport and traveling

These aren't way exciting pics but they are something. The airport here is pretty cool. I just found out there is actually a swimming pool, movie theatre and of course places to eat and shop (duty free) if you have an longer layover. You can also take a tour bus, there are 2 different tours depending on the length of you layover that are actually free. The inside of the airport is nice and so smooth getting in and out of you hardly even notice when you actually go through security and you rarely have to wait in line (or the Que as they saw around here). The airport has plenty of plants (I like the orchids) you can see the boys posing in one of the "gardens". My favorite thing was the foot massager, kind of like the chairs you can sit in but it only does your feet, it felt so good and it was free.
We have been pretty lucky so far with our airplane since being here they spoil the kids. They actually got little bags (literally mini backpacks) with different little goodies like stickers and other little activities on the plane. 2 of the 3 flights have had there own screens with a choice of games to play and vids to watch. Our return flight was the hardest because we thought we would have the vids and video but it was an older plane so no games the kids movie wasn't working. Ugh, we did bring any of our own entertainment so the flight was kind of long. Having Collin has also been nice because we have had good seats so we could put him in a bassinet on the wall in front of us which means lots of leg room and nobody for the kids to hit or through things at in front of us. I wanted to get a picture of it but they have a mini seat belt that you put on the baby that attaches to the adults seat belt for take off, landing and anytime the seat belt sign comes on (which was annoying when he was sleeping in the bassinet and we would have to take him out so we could buckle him up.) The best thing about Asia is everyone is so nice and accomidating all the time especially with children, which really helps. Everyone always comments on us and our 3 boys. There is 2 ways to look at it here, boys are very busy and a handful or in some cultures the boys grow up and take care of their parents so we will be well taken care of.

So different from the U.S. where kids are a bother. It's sad that people can't see what a blessing they are. I agree, boys are a handful, but they even out in the end. Sometimes. So, do you love it yet or are you still trying to adjust?
