Moments shared with families strengthen the bond and relationship. There is always something more than planned trips and unexpected picnics. Aside from the memories we treasure, they sum up how we want to feel at peace with them occasionally.
I always look forward to this. The conversation, stories, and laughter shared by one another are priceless regarding family. I want to be with them as much as possible, having adventures and simple bonding moments. Recently, we planned to go to the beach early in the morning to watch the sunrise and achieve the perfect breakfast experience.
We woke up around 5:00 in the morning to prepare. We started cooking dried fish, fried rice, and scrambled eggs. The kids got up early, too, out of excitement, and they waited for us to prepare. While waiting, they were told to bring extra clothes and towels if they planned to swim.
After getting everything we needed, we hit the road even though it was still dark. We had to go on a drive early since it took us about 20 minutes to get there. The seashore welcomed us as we started walking in the sand.
The sun was already almost up, so we quickly set up to eat breakfast first. The kids were really happy and excited to have a swim. There were also other people around; maybe they got here earlier than us.
I brought a picnic mat, and we prepared the food we cooked. As you can see below, there are a lot of them. We had some Longganiza, Tuyo (dried fish), Scrambled Eggs, Fried Rice, and Pandesal (bread). Of course, we did not forget to bring coffee and hot water.
We only ate 10 minutes, and the kids were too excited to go on the water. My partner and I watched the waves and enjoyed the warm sand. We only started sharing stories we have not talked about recently. The kids were already enjoying the water, so we watched over them.
The waves are calm, which is usually the case in the early mornings. People are already swimming, too, and the fishermen are starting to come by after fishing all night. It was the perfect scene for us at this moment.
Look at my niece with her goggles! She enjoyed the beach so much and even brought her favorite goggles, which we had bought for her. She wore it while playing with the waves together with her older brothers.
I told her to pose and pointed my camera, and she quickly smiled. After that, she ran towards the waves again. We just watched them laughing, running, and jumping into the water.
Before joining the kids in swimming, my partner and I spent some time in the warm sand. We sat down for a while and enjoyed our hot coffee. It was such a beautiful moment for me.
After sipping coffee, we joined everyone in the water. That's why no photos were taken during the swim. We just enjoyed the moment, especially when the water was still warm. A few minutes went by, and we decided to pack up and go home. Overall, it was a great beach breakfast experience!
