It was our first time to climb a mountain. It was also our (me and my kids) first time to ride a carabao. It was soooo difficult especially downhill. You have to brace yourself and contract your muscles for you not to fall down. It was an adventure.

The mountain you see on the right side of the photo above was the first mountain we climbed. Yes, its not so steep but for ordinary people like us, we really had a difficult time. There were two more mountains steeper than this one at the other side of this mountain which we also climbed. The view is breathtaking once you reach the top of this mountain. That's me on the photo below on our first stop over to take pictures.

It was before me and my husband got married when my husband last visited this ranch (photo below). There were so many cows now. We enjoyed the place, the fresh air, and most of all the coconuts.

My father-in-law went to get coconuts as soon as we arrived in the ranch. There was lots and lots of it. I was too excited and busy eating them that I failed to take pictures. Maybe next time!
