Thistle Port Dickson

We were at Thistle Port Dickson over the 7-9 August weekend, which also coincided with the S'pore National Day weekend. In addition to the many Singaporeans at the resort, there were also many groups of people from various organisations, who had their team building event that weekend. In two words, the resort was JAM PACKED!

Nonetheless, the boys had their fair share of digging in the sand and swimming.

Just arrived - at the entrance


Off to some digging


Ryan with his shovel


And after digging....Jaden jumped into the pool

On the second day, papa had a whole day of meeting, so I had to take care of the 2 monkeys. I brought them to the beach for more digging after breakfast.

Jaden loves running bare footed on the sand but Ryan insists to wear his sandals.


Ryan, calling the waves to come so that he can play 'chase'.


Wrote Jaden's name on the sand.


The boys got tired of the sand and we went to the Kidz Club. Lots and lots of balls there!

The room was beautifully painted too :)

And filled with all the 'fun' toys

Ryan, the sociable boy made friends with an uncle and they were playing catch


And how could they resist the trains and tracks


Difficult to get a proper pix of this boy nowadays :(


And more swimming after that :)


Jaden dreaming during his breakfast, on the third day.

hey this is a new hotel eh? is the beach ok? can't really see it from the photos. i always hear that the beaches in PD are pretty dirty :)

Barb, actually Thistle bought over the hotel (can't remember the old name) and renovated the whole place. Now, it looks very new and modern :) However, the beach is still a PD beach i.e. polluted, nothing compared to East Coast. But kids being kids, they'll love sand anyhow :)
