Oh no! Guindulman Tire Park Washed by Typhoon Odette! Kids Continued to Play!

Last Sunday afternoon, out of a sudden, the husband wanted to go to the tire park behind the town's municipal gymnasium. This area is just opposite the bay walk and it is a good place to pass time and get kids to play as there were swings and other things to play with. However, we were surprised of what we saw instead.

But before going there, I had to stop at the nearby restaurant that's selling sticky rice and hot chocolate. I bought four servings of sticky rice priced at Php 12 each and two cups of hot chocolate to go. This restaurant has been selling hot chocolate and sticky rice since I was little and now, they are still in business.

As we reached the park, we looked for a table and sat there as we enjoy the view of the horizon. Then I realized that the Typhoon had washed away most of the park's play corners. The swing is missing, the wall climb too was nowhere to be found, then there was the seesaw left. At least, there were still a few left there. There were colored tires too which the kids played with.

Kids indeed can be really resourceful and has a wide imagination. They turned what was destroyed to still be a fun thing. Matti was really happy watching the kids around and he too tried to play with the tires.

Later on, he found a playmate almost his age. Actually, the little girl was younger than him but they played with the seesaw and the tire bike. It was nice that Matti was able to socialize with new faces as usual, he would just play with his cousins and church kids.

We were eating our sticky rice and hot choco when an elderly offered her banana chips which were priced at Php 6 per pack. I was actually a little disappointed with the sticky rice because it was already cold and it was a bit hard like it has been cooked in the morning or perhaps the previous day. So having the banana chips saved us!

We stayed at the park for more than an hour, after eating, Matti played again, he went running, and then we noticed it was getting dark also. As September is approaching, which means the town fiesta is just around the corner, our LGU had allowed these fairs nearby the park. I am not fond of it but I took a photo just for this blog. They were just setting up and they had turned on the lights. There were kids around whom I guess were planning to play and test their luck.

That's how our Sunday afternoon went. You may watch the video for more action! Thanks a lot!
