Hectic February

It's been a couple of weeks since Dylan started his speech therapy sessions.  We are all adjusting with the new schedule but so far we're doing okay.


One highlight this February is our trip to Subic in celebration of Patrick's birthday and of course, Valentine's Day.  We spent  three days and 2 nights at the Bayfront Hotel.  Naturally, you can't have a trip without doing some educational and fun activity for the kids.  It's not just about relaxing but also learning something and remembering places that have enriched you.  So, we took the kids to the Ocean Adventure Park which is roughly an hour's drive from Subic Central.  Here, they came face to face with dolphins, seals and other wildlife. The kids really had a great time and so did we.  Even at our age we're learning something new too :)






 In school, Dana had her first Family Day activity and as a Kindergarten student she and her family were required to wear yellow shirts to better represent the grade level :)  She had so much fun participating in the games.  She volunteered for the sack race but halfway through the course she got her feet tangled up and skidded on the ground.  There were a lot of food kiosks as well so she and Dylan had fun trying out the different offerings :)



Another important event in February was our friends' Star Wars Wedding.  Patrick and I met Oneal and Rej through the Star Wars Philippines group and share with them our love of Star Wars.  Oneal is in fact Dana's godfather :)  We were really excited to attend their wedding because it's Star Wars inspired (of course!) and it's a privilege to be invited to take part in their union :)  Unfortunately, we didn't make it till the end because Dana became sick while at the reception (probably from fatigue) and we had to leave early.
