Family Day in Eco Park

Margaux's school had a family day in La Mesa Eco Park yesterday. We had so much fun. The kids enjoyed it. The teachers prepared good activities for all of us who were there. They divided the families to two teams: Blue Team (that's our team) and Red Team.

First, we had an icebreaker game. We were asked to do the "arrange yourself according to certain categories". Our team won that category.

Then, we had a cheering competition. Our first cheer goes like this...

Give me a B...

Give me an L...

Give me a U...

Give me an E..

What does it say?

Black este Blue!

Hay, ang may pa-uso nito eh ang magaling kong asawa. Hehehe.

Then we had the amazing family race. Hay, kakapagod this one. I think I lost 10 pounds there after going up and down twice to the stairs leading to the dam. The last challenge wherein its a mom and dad team up, Dicky and I performed it. We were asked to count the steps in the stairs. Imagine on our first round of going up, Dicky's count was 118 and I counted 116. When he went down to tell the teacher, it was incorrect and my number of 116 was also incorrect so we had to do it all over again. I felt the pressure, the red team was there already catching up on us. (note: now I knew how Marc and Rovilson felt when they counted the steel bars in a bridge incorrectly and they had to do it again). On Dicky's second round, he counted 117 and I was able to confirm the same number when I reached the top so one member has to go down again and tell the teacher. Dicky did that and finally, we got it correctly. Blue team won the race.

But can you imagine, after going up twice, I didn't even bother to look at the dam?! Pathetic. I wanted to see it pa naman. Pero wala na akong pakialam, we wanted our team to win.

Our team (Blue Team) was the over-all champion for that Family Day. It was all fun.

Some pictures here...(sayang, we weren't able to take pics of us doing the amazing race challenges).
