Falcon Crest

BUSY BUSY BUSY but I had time to edit pics to share with you guys. The only reason I can see is because I've enjoyed myself with my date at this adventure trip we had last March 26. Awesome time at falcon crest, had it not been for the heavy traffic at bocaue exit it would have been superb experience.

"With an area of 9.5 hectares, the place has amenities such as, swimming pool, retreat house with 16 rooms good for 104 persons, a pavilion for special occasions, and team building facilities such as rappeling, zipline (slide for life), rope courses (rope traverse, multivine, rope labyrinth), and cargo net, to name a few."

There was a group of teens from a church in Q.C. when we arrived. Falcon arranged several team games for them like spider web walk, the guy said then can also arrange a mini Amazing Race for retreats given they tell them in advance the age group of the participants. Book first before you go there, we were just lucky that they can accomodate us even though there's a retreat going on.

Overall the trip was great, me and hubby had a fun time talking during the long drive that we uber miss. The activities were challenging and we were happy that we did them together.

Here are the pics, starting from the search of the best halo halo hehe fail si Razon's kay hubby - wlang kulay, walang beans, walang ube, walang ice cream. Sa kin ok naman masarap sya in fairness kahit kaunti lang ang sahog.


1st activity Wall Climbing. Hubby was able to ring the bell twice. We were given 2 tries. I was able to get to 2nd floor high after that I couldnt grasp na rock na so I called the belayer and said I wanna go down na. Pero picture muna!!!

Next is rapelling. Alvin had to try it first, he did great! The height scared me thus high decibel scream followed when it was my turn. Next try we did it together and I was more at ease to rapel beside my gwapo date!


Last is zipline!


And a photo op!

Going to the movies might be nice but add a little adventure and try this one sometime. You wont regret it.

Relax, Breathe, Have Fun!!!

march 12

Clockwise:
1. She started the day with TAHOOOO!, one of the few things she likes to eat.
2. Bath time at her pool. Since our Tagaytay spree Thea has been refusing to take a bath at the bathroom. Might have been the shower, we tried using it no bath tub at Lake Hotel eh. Mrs.Maparaan, aka ME, made her take a bath at her pool :)
3. Activity and bath in one, when you see an opportunity - she's happy and you know it - make her do a simple activity. Hers is shooting balls in the ring while she plays in the pool!
4. This is not an activity, its just Thea concentrating to poop. She does that or goes to a corner and make that funny poop sound.
5. That's my To DO and Activity list. Coin bank and letter A was not done because she slept early 6:30 I thought we could still do it but nah she's tired na.

My TO DO list includes sorting out pictures for printing. Haaaay, as you can see there's no check mark. Dont we all need to hire an expert to sort our tons and tons of pics and have them printed or make a book? Photos are accumulating at my D drive and I want them printed. No not everything because printing the entire picture folder requires 1,000,000 pesoses exag yes I know :P but you get the picture. Oh please help me :D

tagaytay weekend part 2

Dinner at Taal Vista. The newly renovated Taal VIsta! I dont know lang if its just me but I think the selection on the buffet table is not enough. It's 900 per head too which is a little bit pricey for the dishes served, me thinks.

Team Brunei. Sleep time muna :D

the best pic by far is this haha! hija dun sa bowl pwede.

And the real Challenge Began

I've been scanning OT notes and my notes re Thea's response to our sessions. I felt the need to be more organized and have a backup in case my notebook got lost. So there scanning done last night and I wrote this

The first thing we did is punching hole on the aluminum foil. Super easy naman she didn't complain one bit. (Butas na yan di lang halata plus gusto nya nakalubog ang toothpick)

An hour later we are ready for our next activity. (We dont do all the activities it on one straight session, 10 minutes at a time is enough) Transferring water using her toy pitcher or glass to the container. Twas messy wala kaming apron and if we do she wont use it so messy kung messy nagenjoy naman sya eh :D


Swing and Slide - Check
Wheelbarrow - I was only able to lift her feet and she used her elbow/arms to keep balance, she didnt walk, but its okay.

This last picture is free play. I just added the pic here just because I find it cute. She was playing with jollibee, tigger the drummer and her other toys. She was talking to the toys with words I couldnt yet undertand :D


She has been showing a lot of improvement lately. For the first time, yesterday she was left alone in the room with Teacher Camille her OT here in Bulacan! Her teacher said she was very compliant and I didnt hear any whining or crying. Proud momma moment!
