Swimming

The Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa offers two large swimming pools: the Main Pool and the Ocean Wing Pool. We mainly stayed at the Main Pool because that’s where the kiddie pool, the toddler pool and the mini-waterpark is located. Most of our stay at the resort was spent at the pool, where else? Ykaie loves swimming and she barely goes out of the water except when she’s sleepy or tired. Or when there’s ice cream.

peanutbutter♥ plays with her at the pool most of the time because I know that he missed her so much. While I sit in the shade and browse the net on my phone {where I saw this burlap table runner that I really really want so bad}. There’s wifi all over the hotel/resort and the signal’s fast and good.

This is the kiddie pool which, I think is only three feet deep.

It also has a water gun/water canon that Ykaie loves using to hit her daddy…

Swimming Pool Games We Love: Find the Colorful Squids!

June 6, 2013 / Filed Under: games, kiddie activity, swimming

We never forget to bring these colorful squids whenever we go swimming. These squids are the kid’s favorite toy to play with when in they are in the kiddie pool. They even like it much more that the inflatable balls.

These squids absorb water when thrown in the pool and because they get heavy after absorbing water, the tendency is they sink at the bottom. Ykaie, Cyra and Cyvrine would race to get it. Whoever gets more than one is the winner.

The squids are very colorful making them easier to locate.
