Ice Cream, Giggles, And Happy Splashes in the Sea: Cousins Morning Escape at Dancalan Beach!

Hello my dear hivers! Hello to this wonderful community of @hiveph! I hope you are all doing fine today. It’s me again, “LJ” to share another life story with y’all.

Last Summer was truly memorable because my cousins Janine and Shaira, together with Janine’s daughter Amarah, visited us here at our place. It had been quite some time since we last saw each other, so their visit felt extra special. To make the most of their stay, we decided to spend the morning at “Dancalan Beach”, which is just near our house. Since it was summertime, the thought of the sea breeze, the sound of waves, the fun of swimming together sounded like the perfect plan for a family bonding.

We started preparing early in the morning, bringing along towels, snacks and some toys for the kids. Instead of taking the tricycle, we rode my e-bike, and that made the trip even more exciting. Amarah enjoyed the ride so much, her laughter filled the air every time the cool morning breeze touched her face.

Reygan, my son, was equally thrilled and couldn’t wait to reach the beach. Watching the the cousins giggling and talking during the ride made my heart full. It reminded me how simple joys, like a short ride together, can already create unforgettable memories for children.

When we arrived at Dancalan Beach, the kids immediately ran toward the water, their excitement too hard to contain. The sea shimmered under the bright morning sun, and the sand felt soft and warm beneath our feet. Reygan and Amarah splashed around happily while Shaira and I stayed closed by to keep an eye on them. Their laughter echoed across the shore, mixing with the gentle sound of waves. It was a beautiful reminder of how children find joy in the simplest things such as running, playing, and being free by the sea.

After a refreshing swim, Janine treated the kids to ice cream. Their faces instantly lit up as they held their cold, sweet treats in their hands. The way their eyes sparkled with happiness made the moment even more heartwarming.

While the kids enjoyed their ice cream, we cousins sat together by the shore, catching up on each other’s lives. We shared stories about work, family, and everyday struggles, and it felt comforting to talk while watching the kids play. The fresh morning air and the calm waves made our conversations even more meaningful.

By the time we decided to head home, the sun was already rising higher in the sky, signaling that noon was approaching. The kids were still chattering excitedly about their swim and their ice cream, their bond growing even stronger that day. For me, it was a simple yet meaningful family moment, proof that happiness can be felt by just being together, cherishing moments, and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

And that’s it for today’s blog! I hope you enjoy reading and thank you for dropping by! See you on my next one! Have a nice day ahead to all of us.
