Family day and a birthday

Ben and I attended the Family Day in Claret last Saturday, which also happened to be my birthday.

We had a great time. Ben and his classmates danced the tinikling (minus the stilts...don't ask me why) and a song number. Since he was one of the bigger kids in class, he was relegated to the back rows. Unfortunately, since he wasn't really towering over his classmates, it was very difficult to spot him while he was on stage. I did manage to take some shots after the dance and song numbers though.

He also got to mingle with Clifford the Big Red Dog, and was taking his time I had to pull him away so other kids can have their turn too.

Highlight of the event was when the children gave their parents a handmade card. Ben's was a bit wrinkly and messy, but it was a great gift, nonetheless. Best one I've had in years.

So here are some photos:

The following day, I took out my tripod and decided to take some shots of the two of us. Here are a couple of them;
