In attempts to teach Sophia the value of money,
we gave her a choice.....
We told her that the cost of celebrating her birthday in school is $300.
And if she was to forgo that privilege,
she would be able to get that $300 dollars in cash,
and do whatever she pleases with it.
To our astonishment,
she made a decision
that has far superseded the maturity of any 5 year old kid.
She opted for cold hard cash instead!

How to get there:
From Beach Station,
take a short 5-minute walk towards Palawan Beach.
Alternatively, take the Palawan-Tanjong Beach Tram
and alight at the first tram-stop outside POLW.
There was definitely no doubt that both kids had a ball of a time.
Apart from the crazy water play,
there were also other activities happening at different time slots.
Teach me Wild: where kiddies get to interact with birds,
and learn about important nature and animal topic.
Tree of Wonders: Art & Crafts with Nature
Story Telling: Well Ahoy, the title says it all....
At the end of the 6 hours non stop play,
tan lines were a couple notches darker
(despite my generosity of slapping on sun block lotion)
accompanied by wrinkly fingers and toes.
We ended up with 2 STILL very active kids,
while the parents energy level were slowly diminishing
close to shut down levels.
Quick dinner at Vivo City
before we get to the highlight of the day.
Birthday present for the Birthday Girl!
And of course,
a present for the brother who has been loving all year round.
Since we had such a fulfilling dinner,
we decided to go easy on the cakes.
Yummy fruit tarts from Fruit Paradise
Happy 5th Birthday my Darling Sophia!
