La Mesa EcoPark

The family went to the La Mesa EcoPark last Sunday. Since Obiwan started walking, the family has been going to these family trips and this is one of them. I guess Obiwan made us a family again. We were a family before but our bonding then consisted of watching a movie in HBO together with a bowl of popcorn.

Anyway, EcoPark was really crowded. It was Sunday after all. We ran out of huts or tables to rent and we ended up settling on the grass. It really was a picnic. Then we rented a bike with a sidecar. Then my sisters and brother went over to the zip line and wall climbing area. Obiwan and I didn't go since we can't do that anyway. We just strolled around the grounds. Then I was tired and I gave Obiwan to my mother. As I lay on the ground under the trees, I fell asleep. When I woke up, we were about to leave.

For what it's worth, it was fun. But we don't have any plans of doing it again.

Gymboree

Ninang Mady gave us some coupons for Gymboree a few months ago and we were able to use it for the first time last weekend. It was great! He loved the slide. And he kept going up and down it.

Obiwan and I both were dead tired after one hour of playing. An earthquake couldn't have waken him up when he arrived home. I on the other hand, had soar muscles for a couple of days after. It really was a gym.

I don't have any pictures though. Again, since he learned to crawl, it's impossible to leave him alone and feel safe that he won't hit his head somewhere. Let alone now when he's already running.

Endorsement

I'm concerned about Obiwan's future. I want Obiwan to be a proud Filipino and to have opportunities available to him.

Which is why Obiwan and I endorse Dick Gordon for president for the coming May 10, 2010 Philippine presidential elections.
