These photos were taken last summer during our exhilarating escapade at Subic Tree Top Adventure.

Here’s my son hanging as he was rappelling down a 60-foot tree.

And this is my daughter hanging as she was about to rappel down.

I enjoy watching this kind of competition. Even as spectator, the rush of adrenaline cannot be avoided as you watch the each of the teams try to achieve their flawless routines, execute those intricate gymnastic moves such as tumbling and cartwheel and of course, the nerve wrecking stunts for the flyers. These flying stunt is one that makes me screech whenever they throw those bodies in mid air.

My girl and her team was in for a real competition this time. Last year, they were invited only for an exhibition to introduce a new Juniors Division for the NCC.

It was a tough competition for all the competing teams. This is my daughter and her team mates as they anxiously await the announcement of the winners.

Although they did not bag the 1st place, they are all winners. They came in as 2nd runner up. You can see that most of them were quite disappointed, but they put up a good fight. This is what’s good about exposing your kids to sports, they get to face failures and be a better sport. Next year will be another year and hopefully they’ll do better. Congratulations to all of you!

What about your weekend? I hope you had an enjoyable one. Join us and share the highlight of your weekend.

But one cannot enjoy this alone, you need to play it with friends. Fortunately, his classmate decided to have a “Dart Tag Party”. The kids were so excited to attend. It was an intimate party held at their residence.

It was one of those moments that you get to see the boys sweat and play, which I believe is good for their generation. Since most of them can stay in front of the computer, TV or console game the whole day, this kind of play is a refreshing change. Reminds me of how filthy we get every time we play outside when we were kids.

Well, of course did have their own kind of enjoyment while the kids are at play.

It was already night time when the kids decided to rest for awhile but still play .

Last Saturday, I decided to take them there. More than the reason above, it’s also an excuse for me to take photos for my photography class. Luneta has changed a lot the last time I was there. It’s actually a lot cleaner than I remembered.

The first photo is a picture of my son riding the Kalesa — a horse driven carriage introduced in the Philippines during the 18th century. It is no longer a popular form of transportation, you hardly see them in the Metro except for tourist spots like this. The kutsero or the kalesa driver was so friendly, he actually allowed my son to be the kutsero during our ride. It was truly an exciting experience for my ten year old.

My kids are never afraid of animals which is a good thing — they just love to caress and play with them. Here you can see them enjoying their time with the horse.

One good thing about trips like this is that I can see my kids enjoying each others company. And as a mom, it’s a joy to see them like that.

I would have wanted to catch the sunset by the bay, but my boy insisted to ride the train that was going around the park… How can I resist?

I just have to settle with this sunset photo….

It was quite a tiring day for me and the kids but it was all worth it. Seeing the smile on their faces, I know this weekend will be part of their childhood memories.

How about you? How did your weekend go?

If there’s one thing Hubs and I enjoy together, it’s Bowling. Although, I am not the sporty type of person I have enjoyed bowling so much. Even though we both did not go through any proper training, we enjoy this sport so much that it became our stress buster.

And here’s a trophy I won in the first competition I joined…

Happy weekend y’all!
