If you go on a walk with my mom, especially near the botany pond on 800N in Provo, she'll start naming things in latin. Trees, plants, shrubs, anything green, she keeps going and going. Or bring up the desert vegetation of New Mexico and she's got things to say. Don't even get her started on South American roses.
If you go on a walk with me in the rainforest I can name one tree, but not even in latin. The rain tree. They're everywhere in Singapore and by the end of this hike through Bukit Timah last Saturday I'm sure we saw a million of them.
The boys chose our trail on the map and up the steep hill we went. 
15 minutes in it starts to pour. And I mean pour, like any decent rainforest should. We ducked for shelter and shared a canopy with two skinny Spaniards and a benchful of Singaporeans. You can never really tell if it will let up so after the worst was over, we hiked on.
Up and around and then back to the bottom where we found the best slides at the children's playground. Next time we'll go up to the summit and we definitely want to try out their mountain biking trail.
That is if the macaque monkeys don't mind.

YOu'll have to tell me exactly where this is. We've been there several times but had no idea they had a cool playground.
I love how shaggy Noah's doo is getting. I love that they picked the trail. And I love that the Spaniards were skinny ... more room for you and your crew.
What a fun playground! Your boys look so grown up! Do you always see monkeys just out like that???
You guys do so many awesome things! It makes we want to rethink every where we live or have lived and ask what you guys would do in your spare time there! I'm glad you guys are having such a great time!
Holy Monkey Land! (Great photo of the water slide)
