Manila Trip - August 7 - 27, 2012

The best part about living in Shanghai is that Manila is just 3 hours away.  It is nice to be home after 5 years. This is Richard's first time in Manila.  

Dancing with the dog.

 The kids are so attracted to the dogs.  They love playing with them and keeps on asking me if they can have a dog at home... My answer is not until you can take care of them.  :)

Trip to Fontana.  RJ and Richard's first driving lessons with Ape.

This is their first kalesa ride.

 Richard made a new friend.  The kids enjoyed the pools so much that they refuse to leave.

I feel blessed to have old friends like these...

 Playing with cousin Tisha.  RJ sure is enjoying the light up princess necklace.  He wants a male version.

Playing with Chloe and Daphne

 Dinner with some more old friends...  life is good...

 The kids at the mall.

Outings with Aunties, Uncle and cousins

Volunteering for a magic show at a children's party.  Children's party here in Manila are so grand.  It is nothing like what we are use to.

 Another children's party.

 Dinner with family.  It was one of the best food I've had in awhile.

The packing themselves up inside the luggage.

At the Manila Ocean Park.

My request was for my whole family to go to Ocean Park together since we have zero chance of travelling together.  Thank you for agreeing to my request.  It might not be the greatest place in the world but the company was great and the pictures... they were priceless.  :)

Glad that the kids got to spend some time with their cousins.

Being pampered by Uncle Boy.  :)  Thank you for researching on how to make the boomerang online, etc...
