last saturday, we brought our two pamangkins to EK. it was matthew's birthday last april 21 and the trip was just one of his many presents! hehehe :p he just turned 4!

it was super fun! it's been a while since i've been to an amusement park and i've forgotten how much fun it could be. as soon as we stepped into EK's premises, time made a turn-around and i was a kid again! the place was packed to bursting, though, since many OFWs brought their families along for some sort of family-bonding and it was Unilever's family day, too. but nevertheless, i felt like a kid again...and we all had fun!!!

i realized something, though. going to EK with your barkada to have fun and try to feel like kids again, and going to EK with a 4 year old kid are two different things! roaming the streets, lining up for rides, and going on the rides with a frisky 4 year old, who keeps on pulling your hair and hand, totally changes the picture. i thought it'll make me feel like i'm a yaya or something, but it didn't! in fact, it truly felt like i was a kid again! saya!

i even lost track of the rides we'd gone on. but i remember matthew's eyes sparkling when we rode the hot-air balloon type of ride (i forgot what it's called e!). i remember me getting dizzy! matthew actually sort of got scared on the wheel of fate. but at his young age, he already thinks that he's some macho man and won't admit that he's scared. but he was! he was making siksik to my brother and was not smiling...hehehe! medyo nanahimik sya actually!

my other pamangkin's only a year old. he's too little to go on any of the rides, except for the carousel. but he can't even go on any horse! so he had to sit on one of the carriages with his mom and lola (my mom).

at eto...FIRST TIME KONG SUMAKAY NG SPACE SHUTTLE!!! hehehe! ang loser ba?? i've always been scared but last saturday, i told myself it was now or never...waaaah! nakakatakot!!! well actually nakakainis nga kasi we stood in lnie for almost two hours. buti nalang madami gwapo kaya i wasn't too bored. :p

in fairness, their fireworks display was ok din. had fun watching it. matthew and jeremy were amazed, too. but all the smoke triggered both boys' asthma. hehehe! :p here are some pictures we took. there are more pictures in my phone but i haven't uploaded them yet.
