Family Time! - A quick lakeside afternoon bonding with the whole family!

Hello to all family and friends around the world!

Wishing you all joy, laughter, and meaningful bonding with your family!

It's good to be back again in this amazing community to share a little glimpse of our recent family bonding experience at the beautiful Tabayo Lake. This lake serves as the campsites for tourists who is visiting the famous Four Lakes here in our municipality. This lake is conveniently located just off the roadside, making it easily accessible for all passersby. It's a perfect spot for picnics, camping, and even photoshoots. We are thankful to have a place like this in our baranggay for us to easily reconnect with nature and relax if we needed to.

We stop by in the afternoon after attending a wedding in a nearby baranggay. Since we still had time and were passing by the lake, we decided to make a quick stop to enjoy the view, to feel the cool breeze and have some fresh air, a simple but refreshing treat to ourselves. With our packed lunch, we are joined by friends and relatives to eat and unwind.

We laid out our playmat on the grass, though the grass was soft enough that we didn’t even need a playmat. We sit and enjoy the view, we ate our food and had a great time chatting, laughing, and bonding especially with the kids. I can see that they are enjoying and running around until they were tired.

We stayed for over an hour enjoying the view and taking the fresh air in the calm atmosphere before heading home. That short visit left us feeling relaxed and recharged and more importantly, we created special memories with our family and friends specially to our kids. It is good that we take a short break and recconect with nature and to our family, this activity helps to strengthen the bonds.

Moments like these are especially meaningful for us mothers who are still in recovery after childbirth. Simple outdoor activities like this help us heal, de-stress, and reconnect not only with ourselves but with our loved ones. It’s also great for the health and well-being of children and even the elderly.\

Family bonding and outings play an important role in strengthening relationships even a short period of time. This open up a space for conversations, laughter, and love. These moments reflect our values and how much we care for and treasure our family from siblings to parents and everyone in between. Treat your family as a living treasure because they really are.

Thank you for taking the time to read my family blog! I hope it inspires you to create your own special moments with your loved ones.

Mabuhay!
