Forest Adventure Park ...

Our day started at 5:15am, Mandy was picking us up at 6:00am sharp. We were going to go last Saturday but with the threat of another typhoon we had to cancel. Then Mandy asked Sean to do a motivational talk for a visiting basketball team. As part of the Tagoloan Festivities a Cebu university basketball team was invited over Tagoloan to play the local team. The team was being shown a local attraction the 'Forest Adventure Park', so we got to tag along.

It took about 2 hours to drive there, but the scenery was very interesting. We drove through huge pineapple plantations and even saw the Filipino 'Big Pineapple'- I couldn't get a photo unfortunately. People dry different things on the sides of the road, seems so dangerous, but they go about their business ignoring traffic as it whizzes by.

We got their at 8:00am but the team was running late so we had Breaky.  The kids came and went eating and playing.
 There was an American Indian theme happening in the kids playground

 This was a great swing - we couldn't get them off it.

Pancakes for me
 Omelette for Sean
 
Once the basketball team arrived, Sean went off to speak and the kids and I were left to amuse ourselves which we did very well. We had 3000 pesos to use so we had to plan carefully.
The Luge and the mini golf cost 600 each so they were the first activity.

 Second go.
 
After the Luge we played mini golf. There are life size animals located all over the park. We took pictures of heaps of them, too many to put in here.







Mini golf over the troops were divided. Amy wanted to go on the evil orange ball (the rest of us wanted to keep our breakfast in our stomachs), the boys wanted to go on the buggy.

Now for the boys! They wanted to go in the buggy.





 
After this we had lunch and went home.
