Hari Raya long weekend

Last weekend, we had a long weekend as it was the Hari Raya public holiday on Monday and Tuesday. So including Saturday and Sunday, we had 4 days off!

On Saturday, it was our friend Steven's birthday. The adults had celebrated with him the night before at Ferringhi Garden, so the next day, it was a kiddie day with Uncle Steven! We had lunch at Texas Chicken 1st Avenue (which is really good, by the way!) and proceeded to Redbox karaoke after that. It was free for the kids, but they were the ones who really enjoyed themselves, singing and dancing. Helene especially couldn't keep still and was dancing away. I was supposed to bring her to dinner that night with my aunt, uncle and cousin but she fell asleep and slept through dinner time after all that dancing!

The next day which was Sunday, we took the kids to watch Despicable Me 3 together with our friends again. We attempted to bring Helene to the cinema for the 2nd time, but like the first time, she couldn't last through the movie. So I had to bring her out halfway again. We had McDonald's for lunch after that, all the kids' favourite!

On Sunday afternoon, we had planned a picnic on the private beach of Penang Swimming Club (PSC) as Hubby's partner is a member there. We didn't tell the girls until the last minute so they were super excited!

Love this shot of the 3 of them looking over the sea:

 Helene was super excited!

While the kids had their fun in the sea and sand, the "aunties" had their picnic on the beach haha.

Then on Monday, the same picnic group went back to PSC again for dinner and karaoke. It was a very nice view from the Captain's Restaurant where we had dinner.

Helene as usual was up to mischief. She mixed salt and pepper from the shakers together with water and was force-feeding it to everyone around!

Poor Aunty Liz!

 After dinner, the kids had Baskin Robbins ice-cream. Only RM4.80 per scoop at PSC :)

Then it was karaoke time. No surprises who hogged the microphones :p

On Tuesday, we didn't have anything planned, so we headed to Youth Park! Love how blue the sky is and how green the grass.

Happy kids on the swings!

And one big kid too haha!

So that was the end of our Raya long weekend where we cuti-cuti Penang! Looking forward to the next long weekend!
