Good Morning Beach!

Our week-long vacation was fun-filled. The day after Kyle’s birthday party, my family travelled from Isabela to Cagayan to visit our relatives. Together, we enjoyed a morning by the beach.

My lola’s home is just 1km away from the beach.
It was my son’s first time to go to a beach and so right upon stepping on the fine sand, his eyes twinkled. The sea shore gave him new experiences– wonderful, fun, yet puzzling.  

He asked, “Bakit gumagalaw ang water mommy (while pointing at the waves)?”  I paused and asked myself too, “How can I simplify my answer to his question? Should I give him a dose of my Earth Science lesson when I was in first year high school?”

Not to sound too technical I responded, “It’s because of the wind anak. It pushes the water when it blows. You call that waves. Say it again, waves.” I said.

He responded, and then smiled. Since he is a brilliant boy, I’d like to believe that he understood me. 🙂

 After that, he started to ask questions after questions. I grabbed that opportunity to answer  them.

My little boy curiously holding this tiny sea creature. He learned how it is called in  Ilocano: Tarukoy.
 His cousins also taught him how to catch one. 🙂
Our short vacation was also chance for my husband and I to catch up. We’ve been both busy; I’m glad we had a few minutes of “us” time. 
A refreshing morning!
I’ve also bonded with my mom and dad…
To date, this is my favorite picture with Mama.
 I can’t believe she was so game with my jump shot idea! (Papa took this picture)

Meet my relatives. Just by looking at this picture makes me want to see them again. “Mailiw” is  my favorite Ilocano word. I think it is one of the first Ilocano words papa taught me.
Mailiw nak kadakayu amin. (I am missing all of you!)

*Thank you for warmly accommodating us. I am looking forward to spending more days with you. Let us not meet after three years again okay? Let us meet soon! 🙂

 Before we left, my son waved good bye to the beach. He remembered what I taught him. He said, “Good bye waves!”

How I love that morning!

Let’s stay connected.
