A Visit to an Old Quarry Site with Husband's Family

Video edited using capcut and inshot video editors.

It was sometime in April, and we were celebrating my mother-in-laws birthday along with my husband's siblings in his sister's house when everyone got bored and the oldies wanted to show the kids about the old quarry where the family used to wash clothes and bath way back a long time ago.

At the beginning of the video everyone was laughing about Nanay and Juvy bringing food along our walk. Then the kids toom a wrong turn and then we beheld the beauty of the place; wild flowers, panoramic views, huge trees, and more!

The abandoned quarry were only holes on the ground with very little water in it but it used to be full of clear water and there were even fish that lived there.

I remembered way back in my elementary days when my classmates won't attent the afternoon sessio of oir class because theu went there to swim. But I never dared to go since my family told me not to. Not only that , but also, I got afraid of the news that a student drowned in the quarry. Since then, the quarry was closed to the public and kids were forbidden to go there too.

They were discouraged about finding how the quarry had gotten over the years so they decided to go over the next hill to take pictures. Where the majority is, there I went even if I was worrried about the dark clouds that hovered.

Before the rain poured, we were able to take a family photo. Almost everyone was present exept Tatay, who stayed at sister's house, sister's boyfriend who went to sleep, Juvy, who went back sooner because of nature's call, and Riza who was on her work place at that time. Oh, my daughters were not around also because they went with their granny to church.

I always vome ready, I brought umbrella just incase the rain would fall and so it did and funny how we were not able to use it. My son was excited of bathing in the rain and we let the other younger kids to use it instead.

As the rain poured hard, we ran towards the hosue, we were all wet but we all had fun.

There in my sister's house, she let us all borrow clothes and the fun continued till the evening.

It was a once in a blue moon activity; we are not even sure whether the others will still be that vacant and willing to join next year's birthday celebrations that's why we took the opportunity to have fun and create wonderful memories with the family.

After all, I believe that family is love.
