Weekend Swim

It was so hot and my son was restless. He wanted to grab attention from his dad who was at his deadline with the drawings for a book that was to be published. Josh was in tears when an idea popped out of my mind. "Let's go for a swim!" I shouted and started preparing for it with my hubbies approval c: It's a good thing there's a near by pool and resort at where we live wherein we could just call a tricycle and pay P20 (pakyaw kung baga). When you arrive there you only have to pay P10 for an adult as an entrance fee and P5 for a child. Cottage is for P50 but we don't need one because there were near by trees where there is shade and we could just spread our malong (a piece of clothe usually worn as a dress, blanket or even shawl for the Mindanaons).

We chose a tree nearest to us so we could see our things while swimming c: Josh and I had fun by the pool about 2 hours was enough and I could see that he had fun and now by this time he is exhausted so I called him back to me. We showered and packed to leave.



At home he was all smiles and with enthusiast while telling his story to his dad c: It really is nice to see my little boy having fun and it makes me happy and have fun also with him. Another bonding time for both of us c: P50 was a small amount to see my son enjoy and I had fun as well c: We shall be back soon on another weekend of fun c:

Looks like you and your son had loads of fun. Ang saya naman that you have a resort nearby na pwedeng puntahan any time.

Great idea. I'd like to go swimming too.

Unfortunately, the best pools are hours away. We have to get down from the mountains to enjoy swimming without the jitters.

Mura pa ha!

Hi, when we are busy and the kids are kulit with this and that, i ask them if they want a swim, we're kinda far from the pools in gensan, one is nearby but we have to pay almost P40 to reach Cambridge Farm, and dip ourselves, bonding time is fun, besides, hubby is happy, he is undisturbed for an hour or so. Where are you located in Gensan? We're in Lagao kasi.
