March Monster Mash at Gardens by the Bay

This March school holidays, consider bringing your little ones to Gardens by the Bay for heaps of ‘monstrous’ fun!

The folks at Gardens by the Bay are running a March Monster Mash festival with monster-themed puppet shows, craft activities, monster installations, workshops, a movie screening, a monster parade, and lots more.

Last weekend, Rachel and I brought Asher for an outdoor screening of the movie, Where the Wild Things Are (2009) at the Supertree Grove. The feeling was pretty awesome, enjoying a picnic under the stars while watching the movie:
