the heat is on! :)

yey, it's our favorite time of the year!  we promise to go swimming and hit the beach more often this time...  

last weekend, we visited the hundred islands in alaminos, pangasinan!  xia and kuya matt had so much fun!!!  

we are all happy to be here (my third trip here actually!) and see one of God's wonders! 

first stop was governor's island where we got to see the best view of the hundred islands. 




we had to go on a trek to get to the top.  xia was game for it but got tired too. good thing papa nene was there to carry her along :)  






went island hopping and took a dip in each island that we went to.  here we are at the marcos island...  the water here is perfect for swimming but had to move to another island when it got crowded and the boats took over the beach...  




xia had the best time, obviously... lambitin kung lambitin haha!  



she kept saying she's a mermaid!  that's my water baby :)  



the boatmen took us next to the lopez island so we can swim more... not as good as the marcos island in terms of sand texture - but this has the best view!  








this has been so far xia's best swimming experience!  we stayed over in this island for more than an hour - swimming and building sandcastles the whole time...  






we stopped by the biggest island - quezon island - for a bit, but did not bother to stay long.  it was teeming with people - it's one of the islands where you can rent cottages / cabanas.  you can also do kayaking here.  

off we went to the children's island next...  but while the water was shallow - hence good for kids swimming - you can hardly walk kasi super mabato!  






good thing we had enough of swimming so the little tot agreed to move on to our next and final stop:  the cave (which unfortunately forgot its name)... 






we all enjoyed the trip!  the long drive was so worth it :)  

cheers to more trips this summer break!!!
