We had a trip filled with fun, adventure, joy and love. The kids enjoyed trying out new experiences like going on the trapeze, exploring the surroundings and going on a nature walk, eating ice cream non-stop, performing on stage in the Mini Club show, dancing all night long, visiting Lagoi Safari and coming up close with animals from rabbits and guinea pigs to elephants and sun bears and ending it all with a kelong seafood dinner.
It was also a trip complete with squabbles, tantrums, defiance, and moments when we wonder if the kids cherish what they have and deserve to go on holidays. Haha. Yup, these include lying on the floor crying and tugging at your leg persistently type or simply refusing to brush teeth and would rather throw a tantrum in the toilet type. The good and the tough times of parenting, they just have to go hand in hand, right?
I've learnt - and am still learning - to accept both of them, to cherish the good and handle the bad in a calmer, more matured way. Thanks to the hubby for being my best partner, though we might not see eye to eye the whole time, I think we make a pretty good tag team and help to better each other along the way too. There's still a long way to go and I don't think our family trips will ever be 100% pure joy, obedience and fun - but that's the challenge and the beauty of it all.
So, here's to more family trips, more surprises, and more curveballs coming our way. We still had a ball of a time and took away so many precious memories too. The kids can't decide which is their favourite highlight because we had so many! Well, this was one of my favourite pics from this trip - one that reminded me that no matter what happens, all you need is LOVE ❤ to keep you going.
Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays too!
