A Perfect Day at Second Beach

No plans, no  rush...

A Great day out with the loves of my life...

Golden Ears Provincial Park

A perfect day for a beach.

Thanks to Mommy Joy for organizing a big beach/ potluck in Golden Ears to celebrate more of Summer.

We got lots tons of food that would last us the whole day, or maybe even the next day....

The kids, on the other hand, was more excited in the prospect of making sand castles and swimming.

It was a lot of changing with the kids going back and forth the beach and getting themselves wet or dirty. I used up all the clothes I have packed for this trip...

* By the beach...

Kenzo played by the mats and decided it was too hot. Thanks to Sam, he decided that Sam's hat would look good with his outfit...

* Floral hat Kenzo?

Steve, brought some friends, who brought a boat which the kids thought were cool and decided to try it out in the water. Thanks to the daddies who pushed the kids back and forth the shallow waters. This was the highlight of their day at the beach.

It was a team effort with the moms and dads taking turns to go watch the kids.

Sam's Beach Bash

Sam's 4 and she celebrated with a party that took advantage of what the season has to offer....

The Sun. 

A party at the beach was the venue and the sound of the water nearby serves as the sound to accompany the chatter of friends and family. It was a perfect day as well. Mommy Sarah's prayer to have at least one day of sunshine was answered...

* Cake Table

...and lots of foods to keep you filled until the evening

* This is just the first batch of food!!!

As soon as the girls saw each other, they huddled excitedly, as if they haven't seen each other for a long time...

* Tres Marias

Mommy G took over and watched over Shawn for awhile.

* Mommy G and Shawn

Bubbles were the first activity on the list and it kept the kids occupied...at least for awhile

* OOOOOOOOO

Alas, the main event... Beach Time...

   

* Got Kenzo covered to keep him 

from getting more scratches and bruises

* Brooklyn and Kenzo

* Dirt lover

* Dog is a sure kid attraction

* Father and daughter moment...

* Better late than never... Pretty Carmi

Time flies so fast when you are having so much fun, and soon enough it was time to head back to our main venue for some magic!

It was nice having a magician in a formal suit performing in such a laid back venue like the beach... A welcome entertainment which had the kids and the kids at heart laughing our hearts out... Some of the neighboring picnickers were even listening to the show as well.

* Magician Matthew Johnson

* Sam and Kimi got the front row seat close to the stage

* Macky doesn't seem to like having his picture taken... oops

* Love the loots and treats...

After the show, balloon twisting and ventriloquism was also done.

Last part was the blowing and cutting of the cake...

  

* Dy Family... and some other adopted kids in front

* Relative and friends...

and some adopted kids still in front

JERICHO BEACH

Vancouver, B.C.

Beaches inside Sentosa Island

Inside are 3 beaches

I, of course, went to Palawan beach...

Yes, I am now in Singapore and yet I still look for the Philippine beach, in SINGAPORE! 

GO FIGURE...

I guess coconut trees makes it look... PALAWAN?

Never been to the original one in Manila...

I will make it part of my pending must visits next time we come home

but here goes some Palawan Beach picture in Singapore...

* This reminds me more of Lynn Canyon or Capilano Suspension Bridge...

* It was a bit raining... reason behind the wet look hairstyle of brother Kenneth :)

* This is the place after crossing the suspension bridge...

* Slanting coconut trees...

And on our way to Siloso Beach...

* Free Open transportation taking you from and to each areas around Sentosa Island

* Siloso Beach Big Letter Sculptures
