Proj 24 of 365: wood gnomes

(05.02.09)
e.a.t. danao was where we were off to today. we started a bit later than planned and arrived at the venue just before lunch where we had a feast (this is what I like and hate about going home, the endless food which make you forget that these eventually go down as extra pounds.). in between lunch, cj had been playing with james (so my two boys have gotten along, good news.).

the sky was azure blue and the sun had blessed us with its warmth. we waited for more than an hour to ride the zipline and we crossed the cable in pairs. riz and tal’s shrieking voices literally crossed over the next mountain! mides had to forego the zipline because the little boy had a tantrum that afternoon.

anyhow, after being held by cables and suspended in mid-air twice, we were all in one piece, ready to bravely welcome our next adventure. kayak, that’s what we decided on.
we were led on a trail of grass and trees and slippery rocks until we reached the muddy riverbank where we waited for us to start. needless to say, the sun wasn’t smiling anymore that time and then it started to drizzle. and then, heavens released all its wrath and all our attempts to look for cover look funny and poor as NOT getting wet is impossible. cold and shuddering, like wet chicks, we finally embraced the inevitable and let go.

photo taken by james long before our shower in the rain. i think this shot was taken after we showed cj the magic of the “touch me not” and then after his ninang tee made a fool of herself by touching a fern and shouting “look, cj!” and got puzzled then nothing happened when the leaves were touched. :)
