The Daycare Days are almost over as we journeyed through the Kids Field Trip. I know that it wasn't really that perfect but the point that everyone really prepared for this and enjoyed is all worth the effort.
P has joined the place for almost seven months and it has enriched his childhood life. Sure, it may not boast of a lot of fancy academic haven but the friends and other people that he had made will surely be a good part of his early life.
It had been originally planned to go to the butterfly garden for obvious reasons but changed it a day before. Here's the list on the what and where.
Kamarikutan: Hang out and see the Koi fishes which has really grown well since we first saw them three years ago. We had to pay 15 as entrance fee, while all the while, I was just hoping to be able to eat a sandwich instead. Hmm...just go with the flow even tho P did ask why we didn't eat anything there after the stop.
ABAB: THIS is the highlight of the day for me, as Teacher Mom. Antonio Baustista Air Base. The other places in the list is quite accessible but this one might need a special arrangement for a visit. The kids got to see the Sikorksky and Nomad up close and take pictures. Here's some real action at least.
Kuyba: Not really sure with the name of the place coz it's pretty new and still being developed. We got here after a long, dusty and bumpy ride. I honestly wasn't able to appreciate the place coz of the ongoing constructions, and the hot and and very sunny weather at that time (around eleven in the morning.) This might be a good place to visit on an earlier time or late and cool time of the day.
PWRCC: This is a field trip itinerary default. Since we've been there recently (last Dec. '09), a quick tour was fine with me. The midday temperature is a big factor. But P seemed to have enjoyed our last trip here that he was still excited to be back in the place and see the animals in the wildlife center. Not necessarily the crocs but rest of the wildlife in the bigger and less maintained area. Him and another boy were the only ones. It seems that most of the people on the trip simply wanted to head to the next and final stop to eat and cool ourselves.
Balsahan: Initially has 10 peso fee but nothing came up at all. ;) It's been a long time since TM has last been here and the ride was surely something I would not want to relive. The water is almost perfect for the kids to play. Even P who has bit of thing against bodies of water was convinced to get his feet wet. That is something that I would remember and hopefully he will too.
Oops! After the typical quick stop and dash trip to various places, we still have one last place to go. The Baker's Hill. At this point of time, most of the kids are already tired and sleeping. Everybody is almost all ready to head home except for a last quick stop to buy baked goodies to take home. The head teacher and day care worker did the logistics planning pretty well. After the heat, and tiredness, it was a fun-filled field trip.
