We brought Estong to Fun Ranch for his birthday. It opens at 12 so we had our lunch first at Mario’s Kitchen Tiendesitas. After lunch, we proceeded to Active Fun. At first, I was thinking of getting the unlimited play for Estong but decided to get the 1-hour pass then have it just upgraded later. Good choice as 15 minutes into play time, J and I were both exhausted. J followed Estong around and went with him to the big tube and the slide, and the only way you can reach the top is by going through a 3-level maze. Sana lang may shortcut. And I was following them with a dslr and a digicam on hand. Ang hirap mag-photographer. I never reach the topmost maze though. I was tired and it was difficult to pass through the loose tunnels with two cameras. We left after more than an hour. They didn’t check if we went over the one-hour pass so we didn’t pay extra. We then had meryenda at the Big Red Barn. We ordered their banana split. Pero their banana was not split. It was on a stick, frozen covered with chocolate and nuts. Masarap pala ang frozen banana. Afterwards, since it was Estong’s day we thought it was fitted that we treat him to a spa. So off we went to Little Lamb’s Pediatric Wellness Place for a massage. They gave him a shower first. He was crying the whole time he was being massaged. But at the same time feeling sleepy. He didn’t want to lie down as well, so J and I held him. It was a bit dark in the massage area. Maybe they could hang toys or lamps on the ceiling para smaller kids will be entertained. Three staff went inside the massage area with toys to entertain Estong and keep him from crying. He did stop for a while when the staff sang songs to him, including the birthday song.
After the massage, Estong played at the play area of the spa. We originally planned to have dinner somewhere but we were so tired that we decided to go home after.
