Hello hive everyone, hello 
Last weekend took an unexpected turn into a whirlwind of mall madness, laughter, and cherished moments. It all started with a simple plan: a quick errand. But as fate (and perhaps a little retail therapy) would have it, our trip to Gaisano Mall in Cagayan de Oro transformed into a full-blown adventure.
The star of the show? Kuya Kyaile's long-awaited dream guitar! The hunt for the perfect six-string led us down musical aisles and into a joyous celebration when he finally found "the one." The excitement was palpable, a testament to the power of achieving a long-held goal.
But the fun didn't stop there. Our little Scarlet needed some festive gear for her upcoming Christmas party. A quick detour to (what I believe was meant to be) a Mini Uniqlo store yielded a delightful haul: a cute headband, a miniature makeup kit (perfect for a budding beauty queen!), a tiny notebook for her budding creativity, and an irresistibly adorable Scottie sleeper. The sheer delight on her face made the entire shopping spree worthwhile.
Lunch with Scarlet at Mang Inasal was a delightful interlude, filled with happy chatter and delicious Filipino flavors. The aroma of grilled chicken and the happy squeals of our little one created a perfect blend of culinary satisfaction and childlike glee.
The afternoon brought more adventures! Scarlet, a city girl at heart, was ecstatic to spend time at the Children's Park located within Gaisano Mall. The playhouse, a favorite haunt of hers, became her kingdom for the afternoon, her laughter echoing through the space.
Finally, as the day drew to a close, we concluded our mall escapade with a satisfying dinner at McDonald's. Full bellies and tired feet, we headed home, hearts overflowing with the joy of a perfectly unplanned family day.
This unexpected mall trip wasn't just about the shopping; it was about the shared experiences, the laughter, and the precious moments captured. It was a reminder that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones that unfold organically, taking us on unexpected journeys filled with love, laughter, and lasting memories. And for that, we are eternally grateful.
Hope that you love and like reading our quick adventure with my son Kurt Kyaile Lawrence and my daughter Scarlet.
