the Cacing Diaries #30- the Sumilon Island adventure

It was the day after Cacing’s birthday party. We all got up early in the morning to head off to Oslob, some 125 kilometers south of Cebu, to the renowned Sumilon Bluewater Island resort. This would be the only out-of-town trip of my sister, who came to pay us a visit from New York. The trip also became Cacing’s first “vacation” away from home for the year.

The pictures, definitely, tell the rest of the story.


We brought Cacing’s favorite stuffed toy, the ever reliable Winnie the Pooh



Neither wind, rain, nor the heat stopped us from enjoying Sumilon. Actually, we were lucky as in the weekend of our visit, the sun was out shining.



Cacing heaved one contagious peal of laughter.



The hula girl in action. She still could not stand on her own, not that she ever stops trying.



Cacing loves being applied with lotion. It probably makes her feel grown-up.



We took turns holding Cacing especially in the seashore. She loves water no end, be it the shower, the tub, the pool or the big wide ocean.



Among us all, Cacing had the heaviest and biggest bag. She came fully prepared.



Cacing took the full breadth of nature. Flowers were there for her picking.
