Hotel Moments in Manila

It took about an hour to convince Criselda to wear a swimsuit to the pool.  Shorts were not allowed in the pool at the hotel and she had only worn shorts to swim in.  For some reason I can not find my pictures right now of us all at the pool.  Once we finally got there and got in, we stayed about 30 minutes because the water was freezing!

 
Legos!!

 
We have about a period of time every day we call the giggle hour.  Either Christine alone or both will just giggle and laugh at seemingly nothing or silly things.

 
Oh the discovery of mayonnaise.  The girls hated mustard, but one taste of mayo and they have never looked back.  When in doubt, mayo is the condiment of choice, for burgers, fries, anything.  Maybe it's the eggs because they eat a lot of eggs.

 
Karl showed her one time how to play Angry Birds on his phone, she was hooked.  For a child who did not have much exposure to electronics, she became and techie in just a few days.  She had the camera and picture app on my phone figured out to do things I didn't know you could do.

 
This was their first buffet ever!  They were a bit overwhelmed at first, but I walked them through options and put small amounts on their plate of things that looked interesting to them.  Now, it was about 10:00 but the girls had thrown up anything in their tummies from our long drive into Manila and to ICAB.  Criselda discovered she LOVES bacon.  Christine would clear the area of all watermelon.
