School holidays are here for the kids again. To break the school routine, we decided to check into a chalet and invited cousins over to spend some time with us. As we stay in a flat and have no garden of our own, we decided to take this time to have BBQ - the kids were thrilled and mom had to work out the menu.
While grocery shopping, we chanced upon crabs at Sheng Shiong, and they were going for a song! So with little hesitation, I picked up 4 crabs, not to mention live prawns. The kids were eager to watch prawns swim, and see crabs move.
Helping mom start the fire was probably a highlight of the day. They had a chance to 'play' with fire! Here I was, with no scouts training, I ended up using almost half a box of fire starters to start a fire!!! Nathan was also thrilled to be able to watch crabs in a pot. At the end of the day, I realised it was not so much the food that left impressions, but the experience of starting a fire, touching the crabs, using semi-dried leaves to sustain the flames... such activities stay with the kids.
