His Birthday at Downtown East Explorer Kids!

This year both Hubby and I have decided to celebrate Jnr's birthday in a simple way.

Last year, we ordered a 2kg cake from Ecreative and packed goodie bags for Jnr to distribute to his classmates but this year, Jnr said he didn't want to celebrate his birthday in school. Hmm, we didn't probe further as I'm expecting so I'm also quite hesitant to prepare the stuffs for him to bring to school.

Things like what cake to order, what items to get for the goodie bags, make arrangements with his Teacher for me to go into to his class, the hassle of bringing the big cake to his school, etc. The thought of it really makes me hesitant as I'm really can't handle with a big tummy.

Luckily, Jnr didn't want any celebration so Hubby and I decided to bring him out on his birthday. Since his birthday falls on a school day, we decided to let him "off" on that day. Initially, we planned to bring him to Downtown East's Escape Themepark to sit those rides since now they give the choice of "pay-per-ride" because previously, they only have the choice of buying an entry ticket and you get to enjoy unlimited rides of all the rides but certain rides are not suitable for Jnr. However, we are a little hesitant as going to the theme park depends on weather. If it's raining, of course needless to say we can't play at all but if it's a sunny day, we are worried Jnr might fall sick so I was telling Hubby forget about bringing him to the theme park. Anyway, I also can't take any of the rides!

Hubby then asked me to check any places that have special treats on birthdays? Like Swensens' Kids Club, kids get to enjoy free ice cream (not sure what type of ice cream but definitely not Earthquake!).

Suddenly, Explorer Kids came to my mind. Immediately, I went to their website(as Jnr is a member) and found out that members get to enjoy FREE play on their birthdays!!! Usually, it costs $11 for an hour play and each accompanying adult will have to pay $2 for entry fee.

I quickly ran to Hubby and told him the good news and Hubby said, "Ok, we shall go there then." Anyway, Jnr likes to go there but we don't bring him there very often as it's quite costly though.

When we reached there, since it was a week day, there wasn't many people. Only 4 to 5 kids and a few accompanying adults. So Jnr had a great time there as he kind of have the pool almost to himself!

At the entrance, Jnr was greeted with a gift box, a balloon sword and a birthday hat! Wow, their service is really good! Haha, I thought only those who hold celebrations there will get to enjoy that kind of privilege but not that case!

I think Jnr is like Mummy and Daddy who doesn't like to hold happening birthday celebration but like simple yet enjoyable birthday celebration with family!
