Headed to Cebu with some friends... first stop the pool - Oct 2013

We were so excited to join some of our dearest friends this past Oct (2013) on a trip to Cebu, Philippines.  We often comment with these two families how rare it is to find friends where both the wives get along and the husbands... and even the kids... we had a wonderful time and made lots of memories together.  These are friends for a lifetime and look forward to doing more trips together.

Look at these boys... don't they look happy to be together.

Sweet Heather took most of the kids for the 4 hour flight from Ulsan to Cebu.  What did we ever do before ipads???

And sweet Asher was not so sweet on these plane rides back and forth... I did however get a picture of the 10 min nap that he took.

We arrived had a good nights rest and woke the first day to head to the pool... 

We had a great little area that we took over each day and camped out.  Now this is how you should do vacation... with good friends.

On one of the last days Pierce came and handed me this receipt that he signed for... he went and ordered his own ice cream... this is a for sure sign that we need to leave... FAST.

We stayed in the Cebu Shangri La hotel for a week and we had lots of adventures a long the way... I got what we believe was a bacterial infection (eating too much raw sushi) and thought I was dying, we experienced an after shock from the huge earthquake that just happened a week before we got there while trying to go to bed one night and lots of other adventures that were much more fun.

Water and Balls... does it get any better?

Going from Singapore to Korea one thing we miss the most (besides the people) is the water... and the access to amazing pools and fun time splashing around with friends... so we were excited to have a pool party with all the ball fun.  We opened the pool and the kids had a good time playing (with Uncle Keith).
 

Look at all the fun balls... 

 

And we had a small ball pit for the little ones.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you having fun yet?

Water Park with Audrey...

Summer Fun is always fun... and just like Texas... Singapore Summer Fun involves a lot of swimming... We just love the Jurong Swim Complex... it cost $1.20 to get inside and you can stay all day... there are slides, kid play area, lazy river and a wave pool... this time we brought our new neighbors Audrey and Heather and brought along the underwater camera... enjoy...


Audrey just started going under water since her arrival to Singapore... check out later what happens...

My new friend... what a blessing to get to know Heather here in Singapore.

Me and my buddy...





At the wave pool there is also a shower of hard water... and when you get a right spot it will do damage... here we are in the right spot...





This is a great picture of Pierce and Audrey's personality and differences... Pierce wants to put his head under the hard rushing water fall... and Audrey wants as far from it as possible... boy vs. girl..


And here is Audrey... a couple hours into the fun she beckoned for the goggles (for the first time since I have known her) and it was like she discovered a whole new world... now she is officially a mermaid.


The duo...

Another of me and my buddy...

Summertime has officially ended for us... but trying to play blog catchup... more to come...
