The Philippines

Well . . . we are back from our awesome vacation in the Philippines . . . we had so much fun traveling around and hanging out with my sister and her husband (as well as my niece and nephews=+)) This first picture is of us by Mt. Mayon Volcano, it is so beautiful (and still active!!) . . . it is about an hour from where my sis and her family live.

Here is Gabby by a really cool waterfall that we visited while we were there . . . the kids loved it!!
Eli throwing rocks into the water . . . he is a water-baby for sure!
Eli and Andy having a heart-to-heart talk=+) . . . this is in Aritao . . . a place where I spent a lot of my growing up years . . . it was fun to bring Andy there and tell him all the stories=+).
All the cousins playing in the little inflatable pool in my sister's back yard. The kids all had so much fun together.
This is us in Ariatao again . . . it is truly a breathtaking place, so beautiful. I had no eye for the beauty that was around me when I was little playing here . . . it is so very amazing up there!!
Eli . . . a.k.a Mr. Fix-it =+)
Eli and Gabby in front of my childhood home there in Aritao. I was in tears walking Andy through my old home . . . soooo many memories!!
Andy and Gabby playing in the river by the waterfall, so refreshing . . . what a fun time!
All the cousins again . . . posing like good kids in front of the waterfall =+).
Our little beauty Gabrielle . . . look at those big brown eyes!
Big man Eli by the waterfall.
Gabby and her cousin Ben . . . he is only 3 weeks older than she is, but so much bigger.
What a cute bunch of munchkins!!
Ben and Gabby again . . . it is really hard to believe that he is really only 3 weeks older than she is!! The size difference is so funny.
We had a really great time hanging with my sister and family in the Philippines . . . what a time of making memories together. It'll be so great the next time we can be together again. Thanks for checking out the blog . . . we miss and love you all so much!!
