A day at the beach

Yesterday we brought the lil ones to Palawan Beach, as promised. My girl held on to the promise that I have made dearly and was very excited when the day finally arrived.

She loved the sand and sea but it has been a while since we last brought them to a beach. The last trip was in last June. So finally! We made a trip to the beach again. Our friends joined us with her girl and my kids were thrilled to have company.

We decided to have lunch at the food court at Palawan beach which was a bad choice. We were aware that the food centre was undergoing renovation works since our last visit ages ago. Hence we trusted that the food court should be ready by now and our hopes held high as we saw signages "Makansutra" leading towards the food court. To our surprise, there was only one store operating apart from the drinks stall. Thus, we had to opt for the only choice ie chicken rice. And we were told that they have ran out of rice and had to wait for 10 minutes while they prepared the rice. Well, I guessed we do not have other options but to wait. We have to feed the kids before they start playing.

It was very crowded at the beach but we managed to find a space to park our stuff and the kids wasted no time in getting their play equipments out.

Janelle has become more daring as she wandered into the water by herself. In the past, we have to hold her hands and get her warmed up before she dared to venture further into the water. She had a great time as she played with the sand, rolled on the sand and even allowed us to bury her feet under the sand. My firstborn has grown up!

My boy took a while to warm up to the sand and the water. But soon after he was having a fun time with his sister and friend. He was very amused when he saw his feet being covered with sand by his sister.

   

Despite the wet weather for the past few days, we were blessed with a sunny day when we were at the beach (the rain came when we were about to leave the island). The kids were playing well under supervision so the adults stole some time for selfies and a ball game. 

Am very happy to have a shot of my hubs and I. Loving every moment spent together.

See! The sun was so strong that my girl could barely open her eyes.

My boy and I. He had fun despite that grumpy face.

My bestie and I. A rare shot of us at the beach. Usually we were busy taking pictures of the kids or running after them.

 

A successful shot of the kids together. Parents will know how challenging it is to take a decent group shot of children.

The girls were enjoying their ice-cream after their wash up. Spot the poor lil boy at the side. Well, the 2 girls shared their ice cream with him after they spotted the poor boy by the side.

It's Good Friday! Photo opportunity with Easter Egg

They were not watching any videos or playing any game. They were attempting to take selfie! It was so cute when my friend's girl pulled Jayven closer to be in the screen. Very professional indeed!

It has been an enjoyable day out though the adults were totally washed out. I was supposed to join my colleagues at night for a celebration party but I was down with a headache (too much sun!) so I slept in early with my exhausted kids.

Funtastic day out! Great catch up with friends! Life's good :)
