Caity was just too happy to be outside…

We brought her to the Dendrological Garden where she tried eating a dried leaf, explored what’s behind the bushes, chased ducks, gathered pine cones and did a lot of other amusing things!  She really enjoyed her day there and we also enjoyed watching her having fun.

Enjoy the pictures below.

When she’s out of her stroller, Caity is up on her toes, running around the zoo.  It’’s hard to keep up with her!

Posing with the bear while eating crackers:

Happy girl!

Amazed with the giraffes:


Looking for more animals to chase…


Watch out Caity!  You might hit your head!

Fearless Caity reaches for the goat:

“It feels good to walk under the sun….”


“Can I ride on this?”

Caity was interested with the firebugs on the ground… There were plenty of them!

Have a happy weekend everyone!

Dad’s relative owns plenty of chickens, also game cocks (chicken used for cockfighting) much to Caity’s amusement.  She was so happy to see many chickens which she fondly chased around.

Running towards the chicken.
chickennnnn!
Yeeeehaaaaaa! Here I come!!!

O-oh! She fell on the ground and we all came rushing to her rescue including the one taking photos (ME!). That explains why there’s no pic of that.  I’m glad she wasn’t hurt at all.
uhuh!
No pain eh?

But just a little complaint…
my hands!!!
My hands are all dirty now.

Caity’s new friends:
the chicken

The guys taking care of these game cocks jokingly predicted that Caity might become a sabungera when she grows up coz she’s very fond of chickens.  Tag-iya guro sang manokan para asal! hehe

It’s a rural part of Negros Occidental located 21 kilometers south of Bacolod City.

Beside the cemetery was a wide piece of farmland. I think they have just harvested the rice crops. Anyway, the land was dry which made a good place for Caity to run around.

You can tell she’s ecstatic!

Big smile with food crumbs on her lips! =)

Exploring the farm…

caity sa uma
Ma haciendera ka Caite?

Stumbling on a dead wild flower plant, oblivious to the animal grazing on the grass…
exploring
“Ano ni man?”

Posing…
posing background ang carabao
“I like this place!”

She finally noticed the animal!
hala! ano na?
“Oh look! There’s an animal over there!”

pointing at the carabao
“What kind of an animal is that?”

It’s a carabao or water buffalo, the national animal of the Philippines. They help farmers in tilling the land. They are also used to haul farm produce to the market. They’re the farmers’ best friends!

That was during our first trip to the Philippines for the year 2008. It was the second day of spring when we left Prague that time, still cold! Anyway, as you can see below, she was still crawling then.

Eight months after, she’s back in the Philippines again and in the same beach already walking and running on the sand!

No other kids were there when we came but later moms with kids in tow showed up, probably from their afternoon nap.  Caity was happy with the company but not for long coz she was too sleepy as we woke up that morning earlier than usual and she didn’t have her morning nap yet and it was already past 2pm!

This three-year old girl insisted of holding Caity’s hand.  Cute!
