Fun Sunday

The day started with a kiddie party at Jollibee in Blue Wave.
Paul and Chai's Ynigo celebrated his 1st birthday
Lucas was all hyper. With poised little Bella clapping in the background
He made singit so he can have this pic taken with Jollibee (when did he get the monicker "bestfriend ng bayan" ? Just wondering)
He ate a little bit of spaghetti but finished his chocolate sundae

After the party, we were off to MOA for a stroll...
Little boy saw the play area near seaside
Mahal ah... at P50 for 15 minutes!
He wrestled...
climbed up
Used the slide...
He kept on jumping in this big donut-like thing...
and of course... slide again
.. and again.

To say that it was difficult getting him out of the play area was an understatement :) But we were able to lure him out of the area by promising we'd drop by the toy store so he can browse. But lo and behold, no toys na pala sa Creamery area... good thing he got distracted when we entered the Logico area (any feedback on this? several packages were shown to us and well, we find it expensive. We wonder if it's worth it).

After a few minutes, we decided to call it a day. Lucas was asleep before we got to EDSA. Napagod siguro sa kakatalon niya...

We went home tired and well, happy :) It was a fun Sunday indeed.

Next stop? Lights show in Ayala Triangle...
