Pirates, Mermaids, and Musical Treasures

We watched Pirates, Mermaids, and Musical Treasures yesterday at the CCP, and the kids enjoyed one of the pre-concert activities - trick or treat! :D We arrived late and so we decided not to let the girls wear their costumes anymore. The concert was okay - Sofia, at times, was participating, while Tallulah got bored (well, that's Tallulah :D) and tried to walk down the theatre aisle several times (poor me :D). Here are some photos I took during the concert:

By the way, when we were choosing and buying their costumes last week, I asked Tallulah if she'd like a penguin costume since the theme was 'under the sea' and I thought and conviced her that she'd look cute in it, she hysterically told me, "Nooooo! They will laugh at me!" :D

Happy Halloween! :)

sa Zoo..

Parents out there, if you're on a budget, here's one place where you can bring your kids without shelling out so much cash: Manila Zoo! Yup, it's still operating and yes, the elephant is still there! My kids were wide-eyed with amazement when they saw the elephant and the tigers!:D Entrance fee is PhP40 each (adults and kids above 3ft).

..and for another PhP40 entrance fee each, you can also visit Kinder Zoo which is located inside Manila Zoo. There, you can actually let your kids touch, feel, carry, or as you can see in the picture below, sit on the animals, with the supervision of some zoo staff, of course.

For days, the girls bragged with their cousins about how they sat on the tortoise, carried the baby gibbon (monkey), and that they didn't get scared of the baby crocodile and the ostrich. Now, they're planning to go back and bring their cousins to the zoo. For PhP80 each, I think that can be arranged. :)
