Haircuts, Beach & Deepavali

We had a busy Saturday last week. It was the first chance we have really had since we got here to look around and play without feeling the effects of jet lag, so we took advantage of the day. First on the agenda was to get our girlie a haircut. 

Not so sure at first, but after getting treats and a balloon and watching "Dora," we think she's a fan of haircuts. Had to include the bottom pictures. They're of Livvy in the "alligator" (what she calls the elevator) and also a shot of the millions of escalators you can ride in the mega-malls here in Singapore. 

 After a haircut, brief drive to Sentosa for the beach! How would you like your first beach experience to be in Southeast Asia? Seriously, our girlie has the life. I love the picture of her and Troy below. He's got a pretty cute little girlfriend there.

You'd think the beaches would have spectacular views here in Singapore, but it's funny, all you can see are cargo ships!

 After the beach, we decided to check out Little India. Right now, there is a celebration called Deepavali going on. It's commonly referred to as the "festival of lights." The streets in Little India right now are decked out with all sorts of beautiful light displays and everyone is wearing beautiful new outfits.

 A large and very hot tent where all sorts of goods and clothing are being sold in Little India.

 We were sweating like crazy. Poor Livvy was dripping wet. She feel asleep through most of our sojourn through the tent. I bought a cold water bottle just to keep on her neck to keep her cool.

Our girl perked right up, though once we got some water and food in her and showed her the "pretty" dress we had bought for her in Little India. She loves this dress. We had major tears when we tried to take her out of it. She wore it for three straight days and wanted to sleep with it at night. Made her daddy happy that she was so pleased. Wonder if he'll buy me a dress next if I act that way?! :)
