Kiddo's Fifth

We started the birthday bash at the Manila Ocean Park. We first watched the Marine Life Show, which was a short show of two sea lions. Then we went inside the Oceanarium to marvel at the different kinds of fish, sharks, and other sea creatures. His most favorite were the sharks. We spent perhaps almost half an hour in front of the shark tank. After “fish-seeing”, we had our late lunch inside the Ocean Park mall. Then we continued our “sea quest” with the Jellies dark room which we breezed through quickly to make it to another Marine Habitat thingamajig, only to find out it was basically just the same as the Marine Life Show.



Before going to Robinsons Place, hubby had an idea of strolling at a park nearby, which was part of the day’s highlight because it’s Kiddo’s first time to go there. When we reached Rizal’s shrine, it started drizzling. Good thing, we chanced upon a calesa. Hubby and I wanted Kiddo to experience this so we grabbed the opportunity and rode immediately. It’s part of the Filipino culture that’s almost dying so we wanted him to have a try while he still can.

After the awesome calesa ride, we went straight to Max’s Restaurant at Robinson’s Place for the family dinner. We had a reservation at 6:30PM. Kiddo’s yaya, my mom, sister and nephews were there. My in-laws also came – Hubby’s mom, 2 sisters, and aunt.

We ended the day with our usual videoke session at home. But for kiddo, the best part of the day was receiving gifts and opening them.
