Unicorn Birthday Party

My daughter has been fascinated with unicorns for about six months now. Every night she would pray for 1.) a car that she can drive and 2.) a real unicorn pet. We had planned to throw a party for her a month before her birthday so she can celebrate it with her classmates (her birthday falls on a summer month). It was also her farewell Gymboree Party. So a unicorn birthday party for a unicorn-stricken daughter it was!


I went everywhere but I couldn't find anything unicorn themed anywhere! I decided that there must be something terribly wrong with this country! I was going to order stuff from the US but it was too late when I decided. So it was craft time for me again, good thing there were only 10 children in Tala's class.

So here's how her party turned out:

Invitations- I needed roughly 12 invitations and thought it would be a waste of time to go to a graphic designer and have it made so I did it myself. All I needed was Photoshop. I downloaded some coloring pages off the net, colored them, layed them out and viola! an 80's unicorn invite!

Anvaya Cove

Anvaya is such a kiddie friendly place, i love it!

BEACH
The shore was long, sandy and clean so it was safe for children. The sand was beige and soft and the water was nice and clear. I didn't get any bites which I usually do when swimming in beach clubs. My theory is the net they put attracts all the small creatures that bite but i din't experience that there. One thing I should mention though, the beach slopes down and is quite deep so children must wear vests/floaters.

A Valentine's Gift

Whenever chad flies home, he passes over our house. He texts me a couple of minutes before he passes so tala and i can run to the garden and wave at him. For his valentine's gift, I had our roof painted with the number 18, so he can spot our home right away. He was born on the 18th day of the month and so was I.  Just sharing the love <3

Its inverted because we were heading out when we took this photo.
When he flies home he sees the number 18.

RIDE
To get to Tarlac it took us about 2-3hours from Alabang (we made a lot of stops). From there, we took a 4x4 to our drop off point. It was a 2 hour bumpy yet scenic ride. That alone was an adventure!
