As we finally had free time, last night we decided to visit the local amusement park set up for the previous town fiesta. We took the opportunity as it was already the last day; too excited that we arrived there early.
None of the games or rides are in operation. One of the staff said it would start at seven in the evening. In order not to get bored waiting, we decided to check out some street foods.
Anyone want cheesy corn?
The husband doesn't like it as he was eyeing for balut - duck embryo.
If you are foreign to this food, it is normal to be distasteful, as even I sometimes felt that. The taste varies, and sometimes the embryo was too big already, and the beak was visible 😫. Safe to say, I only ate if in the mood or my companion did and guaranteed me it was okay.
It was perfect timing as there were still no kids around. My niece and nephew enjoyed the slide, and it only cost $1.
We stayed there for almost half an hour. Even though we planned to stay longer, some kids joined. Seeing the disadvantage of the situation, my sister-in-law decided to call their toddlers. Looking at how huge the kids are, if theirs are too slim, they might get hurt.
Of course, they opposed it and started throwing tantrums! It's good that they bribed food with food. But they wanted to go and ride the Ferris wheel.
The problem was that my sister-in-law was afraid of heights! Goodness, even the husband of one sister-in-law! Seeing how excited the kids were, the husband and I volunteered to accompany them. Not that I am brave, but seeing that it only rotates slowly, I am confident that I won't feel nauseous afterward!
It was their first time, and they kept on shouting while we were at the top. Too bad I left my phone as their moms wanted to take a video (I forgot to bring theirs.)
They wanted to try the roller coaster here, too, but their moms didn't allow them. Also, it was safe, so I decided not to accompany them. Caleb fell asleep.
Yes, we did bring him because I wanted him to get used to staying outside so he wouldn't grow too sensitive. Also, I am taking advantage of the fact that my husband is still here. Bringing him out alone wasn't that easy.
We played a couple of times here, throwing a coin specifically in a square that had a corresponding prize. No luck at all even a piece of chips.
I transferred it here as it was easier. Place your money in the color of your bet. Then, the staff will pull the strings.
Then, the staff will pull the strings, and the color shown will be the winner. We played a few times, lost, and then won, though in the end, we eventually lost. Nope, not that huge, just a few $.
After that, we decided to go home as it was getting colder. The kids also started throwing tantrums, and it was quite hard to pacify them. Even Caleb started to get fussy.
It was just a quick outside bonding session, but it was a great way to spend the weekend—especially since the husband was here!
