October Break...aka Fall Break

Rylee is on October break. So we have about 9 days total to relax from school. We decided to get out of town for 3 days! Four other families made plans to go to Rizal Re-Creation. And we tagged along. It was wonderful! There was grass everywhere, it was safe for Rylee and the other kids to run and play and be on their own. We saw Rylee mainly at breakfast, lunch and dinner. It was so much fun for her! And one of the best parts of all...we could drink the water right from the tap. I think it is spring water right from the mountain.

Of course we put bug spray on before we did anything :) Our cabin is behind us.

They had an awesome bridge over one of the swimming pools...

Another cool bridge...
A great obstacle course!
We played a little bit of soccer...A cool tree house...

Chris taught Rylee and some of the other kids how to play "Settlers of Catan."

Believe it or not, I learned how to play rugby. It was a lot of fun! I only got a few bruises :). The main rules...throw the ball sideways or backwards and if you get the ball and you're not the "dummy" starting the play, you get the ball and make a run for it to the goal.
There was a swimming pool filled with the same mountain spring water. So no chlorine. The water slide was a lot of fun. The only draw back, the water was cold! But we didn't care. I even went swimming! And those of you who know me well...well that doesn't usually happen.
And last but not least, Chris and I played Frisbee golf with another dad and his son before we left Rizal Re-Creation to drive home. It was a lot of fun! I haven't even ever heard of that before. Basically, two palm trees were marked as the tee off that we stood between and we threw our frisbee to try and hit another palm tree in front of us. Chris got a 57, but I got an 84. Ha ha, I didn't do so well :)

Over all, we had a great weekend and look forward to going back to Rizal Re-Creation again with such great friends!
