Summer Camping

Ahhh …. it’s summer!!!! At least in our part of the world. I can already feel the sweltering heat, especially from around 9:30am until about 5-6pm. It is really hot. We live on the third floor of a commercial building, so that means we are near the sun by a few feet. It is really hot in our bedroom.

I am looking forward to a nice vacation starting tomorrow. We will be off to my parents’ house that is several minutes drive away from where I live right now. I think the distance is about 7 kilometers. We will be staying there for four nights.

But what I am dreaming right now is really going camping with my husband and daughter in Guintubdan, La Carlota City. It is a mountainous area with rainforest and so it is cool there, even in the summer. Ahhh…I remember that even during noontime, there is still fog. We so love it there!

It would really be nice to go to Guintubdan on an RV complete with amenities and a winegard so that we would not have to rent out their cottage. Although it is just cheap, it is not very nice. If we can only afford it.

Anyway, for now, we will just content ourselves with a few days off in a different house with a sprawling garden. It is still very relaxing. We will just turn on the aircon as needed. hehe

Prepping Our Baby for Camping

We are already thinking of the things or activities that we would like to have with our baby in the future, which is not so far anymore. She is turning a year old in about a month and we really have a lot of outdoor fun in store for her.

One of the things that we would like to do with our baby eventually is camping. We like the outdoors, like taking a hike, holding day trips to the woods, and bird sightings. For now, we are already gathering stuff that we will be needing someday, as buying all of them at once would really be expensive. We already have a day tent, which we now use as a play tent. But eventually, we can use it for our mini day camp. We are also intending to buy a picnic play set that I have seen at SM Supermarket. Although it is a play set, it is of good quality that adults can also use. And we also have our eyes set on some outdoor chairs that we saw at SM Department Store. These are folding chairs that come in adult and kiddie sizes and have very nice colors.

We will really need this eventually as we would like to expose our child to various experiences. We intend to homeschool her and these outdoor activities will enhance her learning. She will also learn a lot of skills outdoors. We are really excited to spending more time with her in the outdoors and teaching her about different things in nature.
