I decided we would go the back route to get there and was very glad we did as we had the beautiful scenery and missed the horrible traffic and although, it is a slightly longer route we arrived just before the others coming through the bad traffic. We were even able to open our windows and enjoy the fresh air and travel at a fairly fast pace in places! Unfortunately, Rose was pretty sick on the way - not sure if it was the winding roads. But even she could still enjoy the adventure. I really enjoyed just hanging out and talking with the kids in the car. The funniest thing we saw was a pig in the back of a private jeepney!
One of our friends very generously went to pick Steve up from the airport Thursday night and we were all glad to have him back. We hardly saw Rose all weekend as she was in her own little social whirl and, I think, would have spent all day in her "class" if she could. She ate her meals with her friends too!
Josh was a little bit leery about joining the kids' program, but they were very good with him and eventually he actually enjoyed going! :)
Naomi was sharing a double bed with Rose and was the other side of Josh's bed and she would roll onto his bed in the night. The first night Josh woke up and woke me up to tell me she was on his bed so I put her back. He couldn't remember this in the morning. The other nights he didn't even notice - probably more to do with their tiredness than anything else. The only downside of going away is the late nights for the kids as they don't sleep any later in the morning. (Especially when mummy thinks it's 7:30 and panics we are going to miss breakfast and then when everyone is up, realises it's only 5:30!!! Early swimming.)
