family time, cars + other vehicles, weekend, family time, kids in doodles, out + about, Jared's firsts

i went on my very first boat ride 2 sundays ago with my family. we left the pier at 6 in the evening just in time to view the famous sunset in manila bay. it was beautiful! i consider this my very first boat ride since the time weΒ we went to check out the mv logos hope last year do not actually counts since the ship isn’t moving! πŸ˜€

riding a boat is much like riding a car or a jeep except that instead of cruising on the road, we are actually wading through the water + you’d get a bit wobbly sometimes especially when there is a particularly big wave ahead. our cruise includes a dinner buffer so i was feasting on my fave, pancit, while enjoying this new experience.

we even get to see a bit more of the shore and the nearby areas when we checked out the upper deck after eating. you can see the dark sky + the stars, too! they were all so interesting to look at.

i really enjoyed this experience + mum said we will ride a boat again when we visit the beach, i cannot wait! πŸ™‚

got any interesting doodles to share? link up so we can read all about it!

j is for jed’s

out + about, weekend, family, family time, summer

summer has officially started + what better way to beat the heat than by going for a swim! we just got back from our overnight swimming with my cousins, their parents + friends at jed’s island resort! of course, i had a great time bonding with my kuya sean + ate shane, we enjoyed swimming in the pool together and later on giving the wave pool a try. it was my first time to try a wave pool + it was so much fun. it felt as if you were actually on a beach with the waves! i really had a wonderful time wading in the water as the waves crash in! πŸ™‚

i had a wonderful time swimming that mum actually found it real hard to take me out of the pool once i have dipped in. i was always the last to come out. the pool is a bit deeper for kids my age good thing there was this shallow part of the pool where we can stay. of course, i also had my floaters on either side of my shoulders at all times for safety purposes.

what can i say, it was really so hot + taking long swim in the pool is just the best way to cool down. we originally planned to just go for a day swim but we really enjoyed it + decided to stay the night with the rest of my cousins + their company. we passed the time watching all our favorite cartoons on disney junior + playing. + since our room was air-conditioned we also had quite a goodnight sleep.

out + about, weekend, family, family time, summer

the next day, we spent the entire morning until about lunchtime out in the sun, exploring the other pools inside the resort + having some of our photos taken. apart from swimming, there are also a lot of huge displays of familiar characters here which you can photograph with. there ironman + his avenger gang, shrek, mickey mouse, spongebob + a whole lot more. we were quite busy that i only get a chance to have my photo taken with some of the giant displays on our way out of the resort.

it was such a wonderful weekend + i simply cannot wait to hit the water again real soon! πŸ˜‰

kids in doodles: riding the electronic jeep

welcome to this week’s kids in doodles. am sure you have been totally confused by now as to which day our meme actually comes up. mum + i were a bit busy, you see, but she makes it a point to put it up every week, even when there’s only too few who joined. πŸ™ simply check here from time to time, as mum sometimes had to do other tasks before putting k.i.d. up. better yet, you can subscribe to our blog via email so that you will always be updated once the post is up! πŸ™‚

now on to this week’s kids in doodles!

i am still sick today + still suffering from a bad cough. i had to come face-to-face again with the nebulizer, which i totally dislike. my cough is giving me such a hard time to breathe + mum said i had to take the inhilation medicine so i can be well again. too bad i’ve missed going to the zoo + going to activefun later today with my cousins. but mum promised we’d do something special over the weekend, so i am really hoping i will be well by the time.

kids in doodles, out + about, cars + other vehicles

anyway, am sharing with you this fun experience i had not too long ago. Β we went to makati several weeks ago for an errand + mum + i saw this interesting green jeep. mum said it runs on electricity instead of the normal jeeps which run on gasoline. really interesting, right? the nice lady who drives it was kind enough to suggest that mum let me ride so that she can take my photo in it. what do you think? mum was just not able to capture the entire jeepney as she was standing just right beside it on the side street.

we would’ve wanted to ride the jeep but it was going the other route to sm makati and we were headed to another direction, the makati post office. hopefully, we will get the change to ride this very green jeepney some other day! πŸ™‚

share your awesome doodle with us using the linky below. see you around + have a wonderful day!
