A very sad day.

We went home. I don't want to go home. Not yet.

P.S.
Omar finally got a taste of his strawberry shake and chilis from Wendy's. Still, I am sad.

Happy Birthday Usteng!

Usteng is turning 7 on Jan. 2, but since we are flying tomorrow back to Manila, huhuhu, Ate celebrated Usteng's birthday in advance.
We had pancit, KFC chicken, chinese food, and cake!
That's just our family, with Ate Jollie, Kuya Paul and Nico as guests.Omar and I bought gifts for Ate's kids. I bought Jazzy a baby minnie mouse, and the 2 babies with Mickey sword. Amiel loved it to bits! Omar got 5 kisses from Emong just for that!
Happy birthday Usteng!

Day 5: Florida

Last stop was the Epcot Center. It was a choice between the Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Center. I hope we made the right choice. We had fun.
We took the ride from history to future (sorry, can't recall the name of the ride, Pangs help!), mission to mars, and lined up for 2hours to get photos with the characters, and soaring.

We got to try the flavors of Coca-Cola around the globe.
We had lunch at Japan and passed by different countries.

Morocco
Germany
Norway
Mexico
We didn't get the time to stop and try the attractions. I wish there will still be a next time. Halata bang bitin? hehehe

Day 4: Florida

Summer's been dreaming to go back to Disneyland since the day we went home from HongKong last year. So when we were planning to meet Ate's family at New York, I suggested why not Florida since I haven't been there and at the same time make Summer's dream come true. Too much vested interest. And my wish was granted.

First stop was a photo with Pinocchio.We were able to see the singing birds at the tiki tiki room, ride at the pirate of the carribean, haunted mansion and saw some shows. Summer, together with her cousins, had fun watching the parade. We saw the christmas parade at lunch time and the electric parade at night time. It was fun watching the parade, but more fun watching the kids so excited watching the parade.We had our photo with the grand castle, far bigger than HongKong's. Is it bigger than Anaheim's too? Hmmm... got to find out. How? Please... mommy! hehehe
Of course, our visit to Disneyland won't be complete without our frozen bananas. We love it! And we got to try the turkey leg too. So big!
Thanks Mom and Dad! Sa uulitin po!

Day 3: Florida

Family Pictorial

We really planned to have our photo taken in a studio. Every body must be in red.

We heard mass and it was Holy Family Day. The only mass we can hear complete and it was family day.

We had our schedule with JC Penney studio at 11am. I'm having a hard time looking for our photos online, I'll post photos as soon as I find my way around it.

We had lunch at the Orlando Premium Outlet but was not able to shop around for some would like to go home to rest. Kuya, Ate Bing, Omar and I was able to go to Walmart to shop around. I almost bought a Baby Alive for Summer when I saw Leapster 2 and bought the latter instead. Natakot ako baka dagdag alaga sa akin ang Baby Alive at educational pa ang Leapster 2. Feeling ni Summer may gameboy na sya heheehe.

Got to end the day early. We have 2 days at Disney to look forward to.

Day 2: Florida

Universal Studios

First theme park to visit was the Universal Studios.

While waiting for Ate, who was buying our tickets, I formed my nieces and nephews according to age. It should be oldest to youngest, but since taking photo was pretty ugly for it was against the light, I asked them instead to turn around, so the order was made to youngest to oldest. They looked like cheaper by the dozen movie.
Summer jumped out of her stroller as soon as she saw Dora. She was the first who was able to get her photo with Dora. She was wearing a Dora shirt too, I specially scheduled her shirt for the theme park.
The teenagers went on their own way. We walked around and took photos with characters whom we know. We had photo with the Hat in a Cat. We weren't able to take photos of Shrek, Incredible Hulk, and other characters for they have a long line.
I was able to take the log ride with the boys. I took Winter to the Carousel ride.
We watched the Macy's parade though Summer was sleeping during the first half of the parade. She woke up as soon as it was Dora's turn. Barney did not join the parade, too bad.
After the park, we had dinner at Denny's courtesy of the Ombudsman of Toronto through Atty. Jenny.
We had our complete siblings picture taking once again, after 5 years. Ladies' top were gifts from Jenny and we wore it at the same time while at the park.

A day was not enough to visit Universal's 2 parks. We should have visited the Studio first before the Island Adventure. Next time, I wish!

Day 1: Florida

Factory Outlet Shopping

It's boxing day so off we went to the Orlando Prime International Factory outlets to shop. I realized it was pretty hard to shop around with an infant and a toddler in tow. I've mastered the art of breastfeeding in public, I can even do it while walking around - with a nursing bib of course! Sadly, I wasn't able to buy much. Omar, on the other hand, went around on his own and was able to buy a lot. Awayin ko man, di na mababalik ang time so I can buy stuff for myself. After a day of shopping, everybody was hungry. Traffic at the area of the outlet was pretty heavy for it is located by the theme park area too. We were scouting for a good buffet dinner sana but ended at KFC. We do not want to eat Chinese.
We are a family so big already, we almost occupied the whole dining area. That's just us!
