Hit Summer Adventure for Kids at Shangri-La

One of the great things about having kids is you totally get to relive your childhood. I picked this line up from Muhammad Ali, "Children want to make you start your life over." What this means for me is you get to re-experience the wonders and excitement of childhood through the eyes of your child. When I bring my kids to "congregate" with other kids and see their favorite characters, they tend to open up more. Miguel is particularly shy and not too trusting. Marco as well, but he can communicate his feelings better and we can talk about trust now that he's a wee bit older. Mateo has zero shyness level at this point. Children encourage adults to tap in their spontaneity and joy of un-self-conscious, childlike creativity.

Shangri-La Plaza opened today an event called Hit Summer Adventure which runs up to April 17, Sunday. Event sponsors had different activities for kids for free like face painting by Popitas, pizza and bread making by Breville, drawing and coloring by Maped and Elmer's Glue, Thomas and Friends story telling and drawing, free Ceelin Vitamin C supplement from Unilab, Shakey's free balloon creations and discounted DVDs from Magnavision.  Honestly, Miguel didn't care about anything because he was obsessing about this gigantic Thomas and Friends train tracks. Anak, when we become millionaires, and we have a house which can fit toys this size, okay? :)

Kids are free to tinker with Thomas and Friends play sets (not pictured)



Bob the Builder came out for a song and dance







I think I was more excited about Bob the Builder. I had to have this photo! Miggy did recognize Bobba Bilder but got scared when he's this big.



I think this place will be more packed tomorrow when there are more kids.

And Miggy came home with three Barney workbooks.



And his new playmates, Chuck and Barricade the Decepticon (not pictured)



The little man is now asleep, deadbeat from all walking plus the chores we did today.



Have a fun weekend!
