Going GREEN Part 2: Teaching the kids to appreciate nature

We wanted to do this for a long time, but we couldn't find the right time to do so (yeah right)... Finally, we decided to bring the kids to Putrajaya's Wetlands... just so they could be closer to nature. Actually we realized how deprived they were of exposure to nature during my workplace's Family Day to Agrotek a few months ago.. there was a river there and the water was crystal clear, but Iman asked, "umi, why is the water so dirty???"... i was puzzled at first, then i realized what he meant- he has never seen a river before, so he was surprised to see the sand underneath the water!!! all this while we have brought the kids off on holidays to hotels where they often played in the swimming pool (no sand in the pool!) or our weekends were spent at some shopping mall somewhere...  this is really sad. We have been teaching our kids to become materialistic without us noticing it...

So today finally, we brought them closer to nature, hoping that they will grow to appreciate the simple things life can offer... (shopping mall trips are for umi n baba only.. hehehehe).. and they had a lot of fun...
