St. Patrick's Day Mass

We attended the St. Patrick's day mass at St. Joseph Church. The first graders are the ones who did all the singing and readings during the mass.

 Singing the "Luck of the Irish" song.  I should have recorded  a video of them singing but I forgot my other camera.

Ms. Burrito did a pretty good job reading  the Bible.  We are so proud of you Anak!

After the mass, parents were given the opportunity to take pictures.

I wish that Mr. Burrito will have that confidence that his sister has when it comes to  public speaking. 

Birthday Party at Bowling Alley

We were invited to a birthday party of one of Ms. Burrito's classmates, Ms. J.  It was held at one of the bowling centers near our area.  This was the first time we attended  a birthday party out of many invitations that  she received from her classmates.  I am not really good with social functions so we seldom go but since this was a bowling, we went.

Outdoor Fun

The whole week this week is a great blessing for us  because God   gave us great weather.  I have been away from blogging this week because we want to really enjoy the beautiful  weather that we have.  We decided to buy our daughter a bike  last weekend so she could also ride a bike and not just our son.  They have been riding it everyday after school.  It also gave me and my husband time to  have some exercise outside.  I did some cleaning in the garden yesterday morning and today, hubby and I  transferred one of the trees in front of our lawn. 

Hubby and I haven't made any solid plan to what  are we going to do for our vacation this year.  We might not have a  big  vacation that we want to do due to some  financial reason but we  are considering things like doing outdoor fun activities like going to one of the   nature attraction near the area.   Adirondack Camps is one of the many websites we came across to when we search for    summer activities that we could do.  The kids wants to go to the ocean but  I am hesitant to do it  especially that they  don't really know how to swim.  They are a little young to go to the ocean.

I can't wait till the kids are big enough so we could go for a Camp.  Our state has a lot of  good places to camp and that would be something that  we could do as a family.  We want to instill  to our kids' minds that doing things as a family is  very important .  I am glad that I married a guy that   gives a family  thing  a great deal.  I consider that a true gem and fortune.  To see more outdoor activities and places to go, please visit the links above.

It's a Small World

 I think of all the attractions we went to  in Disney World, the cruise to "It's a Small World" was my  favorite.  It was very relaxing  and enjoyable  for all ages.  The music and  the colorful display  is the perfect  combination to entertain us all.  The long line was  worth the  time.

"The goal is always to make a nice tableau painting with the voice. The more color I can find, the more shadow I can find - the goal is always to make more nuance and colors."

Cecilia Bartoli

Some people doesn't like the song being played over and over again but I love it!  May the composer of this song, Robert B. Sherman, rest in peace. He passed away on March 6, 2012. Below is a video you can watch of the whole tour of the attraction. Thanks to "MoneySavingVideos" for uploading this video on Youtube.

I found this interesting Aisan version of the song. It's a collaboration of artists from four different countries, Hongkong, Malaysia, Thailand, and Philippines. Thanks to jyimlaih for uploading the video.
