2016 Summer Gala & Park Adventures!


Oh my, it's been a long time since I last blogged! I've been so busy because my husband finally came home :) (Ayeee, heart! heart). Since we're so busy it is also hard for me to update and visit my blog, so I missed bloggin. But right now I just wanted to share with you why I'm so busy last summer!

First, my sister in-law visited us here in Manila from Misamis Occidental and stayed here for almost one month with her daughter and son. While waiting for my husband I was able to bring my sis in-law at the parks near in our place. Her children were very happy because it's also their first time here in Manila to explore and experience new things that they never experienced in Mindanao. Seeing them while wondering what Manila is, I'm so grateful and I feel that they were really enjoying the place.

Wild Life in Quezon City

This park is near our place and the entrance fee is only eight pesos for adults and five pesos for children and students. This is a great park for family and children, good for relaxation and bonding. The environment is very nice I love the view and the animals inside the Park. Our our children were able to enjoy listening to the sounds of the animals like birds, monkey, snake and more. This park had also has fish ponds and you will able to experience fishing but you have to pay fist. We arrived in the place late in the afternoon so we're not able to visit the other animals inside this park because 4pm was the cut off time, but it's okay at least we really enjoyed the place.












































Quezon City Circle
After the Wild Life, we also visited the Quezon City Circle, since both places are just near. As many of us know, QCMC has no entrance fee and there's a play ground there for children, my toddler and my husband's pamangkin enjoyed biking and playing slides. 
During the night you might also able to see their dancing water fountain located in the center of the circle. 

Of course after that tiring walking, playing and hopping we're so hungry and that's why we want Ice cream here in Coconut house with their home made Pizza.
































Quezon City Eco Park
This is one of my favorite parks in Quezon City, we are able to walk inside their forest even if it's raining but we're enjoying the place. I love the view and ambiance when we're inside the forest. I told them that "it looks like we're in the province right"? My toddler did enjoy this experience and we had our Mini picnic there while naka umbrella kasi umuulan :)





















Rizal Park Luneta
Luneta is a historical urban park in the Philippines. Located along Roxas Boulevard, Manila, adjacent to the old walled city of Intramuros, it is one of the largest urban parks in Asia. 
It has been a favorite leisure spot, and is frequented on Sundays and national holidays. Rizal Park is one of the major tourist attractions of Manila.


We're so excited, specially the kids because they really wanted to visit the Rizal Park in Luneta. When we arrived there, my zd bear wanted to run anywhere so I let him run and enjoy the park. They rode the train, my zd bear was addicted to the train, he really cried out after riding the train because he wanted to ride again. 
After riding the mini-train we are able to walk and my zd bear had a great time exploring this wide area and enjoying the place.
zd bear the explorer :)
It was really a great experience, thanks to these fun-filled parks visit with my sis-in-law. Through this parks adventure, we're able to explore, enjoy new ambiance and had new experiences. We're not just enjoying the place but we had beautiful memories to remember specially the kids and they are also learning from this experience. 

Did you visit the parks? Where? Did you enjoy it?
