Conquering Corregidor

Yesterday I met up with a friend from A-100 who flew in from Korea. She's really here to take the kids to visit her family in the province, but they had a day here in Manila, so she and I took 8 kids between the 2 of us to Corregidor Island because we are smart. Okay, it actually wasn't that bad. To my great surprise, the kids had an absolute blast. They really enjoyed running around and exploring all of the old military equipment and buildings. They even seemed to get a real kick out of the museum (old money and guns were the highlights for the under-13 crew). The highlight of the trip was definitely the monkey sightings, which was a real treat for T&V, who have never seen a wild animal outside of a zoo before. We even saw a mommy monkey carrying her baby! Best of all, the kids got to hang out with some old friends from Oakwood FC (woot!), which lent a bit of normalcy to this crazy lifestyle we've embarked on.
