Early the next morning the two bun wake me up, to prepare for our little trip.
The first task today is for me to cook breakfast and prepare some snacks to be taken away for the trip. I only made a simple breakfast such us egg rice, bacon and ham. As for the snack, I just make some cupcakes, 2 types of sandwich, egg and longganisa. which the favorite of the two kids and for my little brother? well he can eat anything.
After packing everything like snacks, extra clothes for the kids, towels, wet wipes, umbrella and ofcourse extra patients for the 3 kids and were good to go.
@7am everyone's ready and the kids are impatiently standing at the family ban. wishing to sit already so we can head out already. The two little kids even use rock, paper and scissor to determined their position in the ban, but as they were kids, I still insists on letting them sit at the back and my brother at the passengers seat which make them pout and unwillingly seat at the back. Well safety first! I said then make sure that they put their seatbelt properly.
As we go on the rode, I played kids songs like 'are we there yet? ponytail, and etc.
"Yummy, yummy yummy yummy mealtime~`•"
"Yummy, yummy yummy yummy mealtime~`•"
I could see the kids lips, lipsinging the bouncy song, even my brother beside me started beating in his lap making a boucy noise to join the happy song, making me smile.
when was the last time I felt this happiness?
I forgot, but I'm happy that I got a chance to somehow see this. The happy smile, the cute giggle and a little arguing of who is whom.
Somehow, I felt that the me back then is very blind. How can't I not see the meaning of letting go? Letting go is not forgiving, nor forgetting but starting to move on and just be contented on what was left.
well now, there's no more regret.
~`•~`•~`•~`•~`•~`•~`•
As I slowly park the car, the kids started to unbuckle their seatbelt and excitedly waiting for me to open the door for them. Thankfully cloud is not like other naughty boy who will open the door on their own when being excited, as for my daughter? I'm not that worried because she's always been obedient.
I open the door and help the kids down. then pick up a small bagpack that I prepaid to be brought inside the zoo and a camera to take picture from time to time.
"Alright Kids! were going inside and I don't want any of you randomly running on something or stay secretly even though I said the we should go at the next yard to see the little animals but ofcourse you could tell me if you want to stay more." I said and looked at the two.
They both nodded and confirm to be obidient.
"Alright. I know you two are obedient." I said pat them at their little heads.
"For now wear this nametags" I give the two their name tags with my number on it, incase we accidentally separated.
"Did you bring your smartphones?" I asked the two and they both nodded while putting their name tags.
"Here is a speaker" I said and attached a small speaker in his belt, It won't hinder him much since its not that big.
"Since little cloud have not time to memorize my phone number, Connect it in your phone and please set it in the most loudest mode so that when I called you. I could track you immidiately in case we separated." I remided as little cloud quickly pick his smartphone and adjusting the tone.
my little daughter and brother looked at him enviously letting me feel that, I'm being unfair. I quickly get two more small speaker and give them. Well there's two more so just give them. I sighed.
"Alright. Lets go!" I said and brought the three kids in the ticket booth to buy entrance ticket and some snacks for animals.
As we go throught the procedure, the kids started telling me what to see first and started to rock paper scissors again for the first stop, well unexpectedly my brother join the two making me almost facepalm. whatever he's still a kid.
After putting the ticket around our hands like a bracelet, the staff open the entrance for us to get in.
As little cloud is the winner, the first stop is horse, second sky is rabbit and the third stop for my brother, the monkeys. As for the rest, well just stroll to see everything after this top 3.
