And the much awaited part: swimming of the kids

Gosh, there were so many pictures here – mostly of Martha though. Matthew was always nowhere to be found (hay naku, more on that later) and well, Edil and I talked, and we really should adjust to our big boy – he is turning 9 this year and is clearly asserting his independence.

Anyway, let the pictures do the talking:

1. Martha was drinking water from the pool like an elephant. Yes, spitting it out like an elephant too. It was a good thing that she wasn’t acting out like a lion or a dog that day, her two other favorite animals or else she will be so loud . She has taken to liking dogs though and if not for dog-training and expensive dog supplies, I would have given in and brought myself my third kid, a puppy

2. Her first swimming partner was Austin, Apple’s son. We had them near the pool that is just directly in front of where we sat (tamad mag-tingin ang mga mommies eh). And even if they were not talking, they seem to be enjoying each other’s company. Pareho silang liliphant eh

3. Edil knew he was the one who will go swimming with the kids. But I guess the lure of beer with kwento sessions with fellow daddies was better. He stayed in the pool for maybe a total of 30 minutes. I’m super glad though the my kids are very independent and do not need close supervision (and that the kids’ pool was really very mababaw). Martha was even running from one pool to another. Matthew was always with the other kids with other dads Making kulit.

**I really like the last two pictures of her – para syang sirena na umaahon sa tubig LOL

4. I was looking for pictures of Matthew and found almost none (even at other’s pictures at Flickr)

Eto lang, a shot I took when I panicked because he was nowhere to be seen that I walked around under the heat! Hahaha (I never do that unless I absolutely have to). Un pala, nasa bridge! Nagiimagine!

He enjoyed thoroughly though, kaso super bitin sya. He wanted to go fishing but we were dead tired already (Martha was even sleeping na) and go ride the cable cars. Good thing he was able to join other families in the cable car. Sayang dapat pala sumama ako.

In fact, on the way home, I asked him, “Are you happy?”, “Not really”, he said. Why? Kasi madami pa ako gusto gawin eh. Hehehe.

5. What were we doing? Taking pictures of course!

 

 

(Ang sipag ko magpicture that day ha, in fairness! Hehehe)

6. Most of the kids just swam and swam while the mommies took pictures, made little chikka and ate (like me). The fruit plan was oh-la-la I tell you. Yung fruits kasi super fresh and crispy pa!

7. After swimming, most went fishing. We stayed behind. After the fishing, there was one last picture-taking, this time of the kids. It was a riot!!

Martha was sleeping already by this time.

Ganito ka-dead tired si Martha (at si Edil).

After the swimming, the daddies had some plans to drink somewhere else. We went home first (bad move because Martha threw such a tantrum, it had me and Edil throwing temper tantrums na rin. We were all so tired I didn’t want to go anymore but I decided pagbigyan na lang ang asawa ko, tutal, mas pagod naman sya talaga sa akin!).

We ate dinner at Max’s and stayed at Joy’s hotel room (naks! hahaha!) while the daddies drank beer at Cafe Lupe. By then I was too tired na talaga. Wala na sa mood!

More MBAP pictures on my other blogs. Stay tuned!
(Maximize blog entries syempre!)
