Peter and I predicted that we’re going to be busy the weekend of Mother’s Day and the next several weekends after that so we figured why not spend an entire Sunday with my family and celebrate everything instead including birthdays? My baby nephew Dominic will be having his first birthday on the 17th and we’re not sure if we can come. On June 9, my mom will be celebrating her birthday and there’s a possibility that we might not be able to make it too (reasons being work, online projects and just recently, my Publicis training which I really, really want to pass).

So anyway, last May 3, we treated our family to an excursion at La Mesa Eco Park and simply had a grand time. Upon entrance, we rode the famous e-jeep all the way to the picnic grounds. Take note: Alcoholic beverages are not allowed inside the park so… be resourceful. We were! Teehee. ^_^
Free e-jeepney ride!

This climb up the terraces is not suitable for smokers. Hehehe.
