As a family, we should not forget to give time for each member of our family. Aside that we eat together around the table, we should always give time to have fun and enjoy the company of each other outside the house. And explore the together.

I want to share to you the first family escapade of my little family last year. It was so memorable for me and my family. I and my partner came from a family that seldomly have a gatherings or any summer holidays. We do understand our parents why they didn't have or let us visits any beautiful places because of their status in life. That is why, I and my husband promise ourselves that if ever we build our own family and already have a child, we should always have this family date or escapade even once in a year just to let our child enjoy outside our house and able to experience the beauty of nature like beaches that can't be seen at home. We not rich but we will make sure that we will able to have time for our little one to see the world.

So, here's our first escapade as a family. Our son that time was 10 months old when he experienced his first swimming in a resort.

Where did we celebrate our first family escapade?

Baybayon ni Agalon at Albuera, Leyte, Philippines.

It is a resort that is located in the next town of our hometown. It was actually I and my husband's second time going in there because we already visited the place when we were still as girlfriend and boyfriend relationship. And we did promised to go back there if we already have children.

The resort have pools and at the same time there's a beach. Also aside that this is a resort, it also have a little zoo as they have some animals in there. And there's a big pond, sad coz I don't have pictures of the ponds because my husband's old phone was now not functioning, most of our photos were in there and little photos only were saved in my old phone which will I use in this blog. The pond that time was full of many colorful fishes and there are lots of lilies.

We travel through riding our motorcycle and it was our first time to ride on our own that's why we used google map that time because we don't knew the route. And we took 1 hour and 43 minutes before we arrived in the resort.

Before we proceed to the resort, we bought first our food in our favorite eating place in Baybay. We ordered our favorite food that time. And as we arrived in the resort, my partner paid for the entrance fee and for the table that we are going to put our things and serves as our cottage.

He paid for our entrance fee, 100pesos or $2 each and 600pesos or $14 for our table. We planned to have an over night but we can't afford the room, lol. That's why we decided to not book a room and will just go home at 3pm because we're going to travel back to our house.

So here's the photos that we really had enjoyed our stay in the resort

Here, you can see the tables with umbrellas that cost $14 for rent. There's also cottages which is way pricey as it was for big family gatherings and since we're only three, only table we rented. I don't have pictures of the cottage because it's at the beach side and we're a little far from there.

As you can see, there's a slides behind my boys. I already experienced sliding there and I told myself I won't do it anymore. My nose was so painful because of the force as I slapped unto the water. There are also slides for children and bet me, I did enjoy myself in there hahaha.

A bridge to the other side of the pool.

My son really was so happy. He really likes water and taking a bath. And now he likes splashing water all over.

Eating his snacks before going to the pool.

Watching iguana. Actually on that time I don't know what's the name of that animal. I just called it that time as lizard hahaha.

He wants to sit on the bermuda grass.

They watch these animals, I don't know what their names though. But they're like a bird or a chicken, lol.

My son gets tired playing from the pool. In the cage were rabbits.

Look at my little boy enjoying the moment. I felt so happy seeing him happy.

Before we went home, we went to the little playground of the resort. And we went to the little zoo near the playground. The place is huge and surely will make children to enjoy. Even me who's an adult already did enjoy also. Maybe because I didn't able to experienced it when I was a child.
