TARSIERS


We spent the weekend at Bohol and the boys had a blast! They got to spend some time at the beach where they played and swam and threw pebbles into the water and made sand castles and looked at sea life. Of course, I would not allow an opportunity like that to pass by without some integrated lessons along the way. Sometimes they were game and sometimes they weren't. But I didn't mind. As long as they were having fun and enjoying nature.
Anyway, they also got to see the beautiful Chocolate Hills which is a famous tourist spot in Bohol. We also got to see the Man-made Mahogany Forest in Bilar, the Hanging Bridge in Sevilla, the really cute tarsiers (which is another favorite of tourists), we lunched at Loboc River and cruised it, visited Loboc Church, saw a really large python and visited one of the oldest churches in the Philippines, the Baclayon Church. It was a lot of fun.
During our last day there, we went dolphin-watching and snorkeling. We wish we stayed longer than 3 days but perhaps we could go back to that wonderful place one more time. For now, our experiences and memories will suffice.

CHICKS



Nikki is fascinated with the baby chicks. This hen had 5 yellow and 3 black chicks. They were so cute! Nikki was so excited about them, he watched them one afternoon and fed them seeds. I think this is a great way for him to learn about farm animals. =D

LIZARD EGGS

I was cleaning the closet the other day when I chanced upon some lizard eggs. I thought it was a great opportunity to show them to the boys and teach them about how different eggs are in size. They already know quail eggs and chicken eggs. I figured they would appreciate how small the lizard eggs were. True enough, they were so fascinated and even handled the eggs carefully and I let them play with the egg shells. I took a photo of the eggs and put a 5-centavo coin beside it as a reference on how tiny they were. After 5 minutes of this, I put the eggs back carefully in the closet. I'm sure, a few days from now, there would only be shells in there. =D
