Only If

chapter 26 (precious moments)

ARIS's POV

I extended our stay in Baguio after our convention. I brought them to a strawberry farm after our breakfast.

And on the list were: Baguio Cathedral, Baguio Botanical Garden, The Mansion, Wright Park, Mines View Park, Good Shepherds Convent, Port del Pilar or the Philippine Military Academy, Camp John Hay, Tam-Awan Village, Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto, Burnham Park.

I decided to bring them first to Strawberry Farm... They enjoy a sightseeing for around 2hours drive to the strawberry farm.

"Wow! A lot of strawberries!"  Arra

"Can we pick, Daddy?" Ella

"Sure! You can have a basketful of strawberries," I replied

"They're big and red ones!" Arra

The two girls enjoy picking strawberries.

"It tastes good!" Ella

"Sour-sweet!" Arra

"Daddy, Mommy, come here. Let's have selfies!"

Ellie and I come over to Arra and Ella... We made a lot of poses. Candid poses. 

"After you're done picking, let's have our snacks," Ellie

"Strawberry shake," Arra

"And strawberry cake!" Ella

"Sure!"

The kids enjoyed our strawberry farm visit. And I am happy to see them enjoying it. It is a precious moment to be with the people you most love.

And from the strawberry farm, we will go camping at John Hay, but before that, we will have our lunch.

"Where will we have our lunch?" Ellie asked

"I have reservations in  Red Rustikz," I replied

"I see," Ellie

"Why? You want another restaurant?"

"No, no... anywhere will go. No worries,

ELLIE's POV

I appreciate Aris. He is so attentive to us and sees to it we enjoy the place where he brought us.

"Sweetheart, are you not tired? 

"No, the kids wanted to stroll,"

Aris booked us at  F16 Caboin Style Country Homes Camp John Hay for a week- 3 days while he is in convention and   4 days after his convention. We still have two days before going back home.

For the past 3 days, Aris prepared our breakfast. Even though I ask him not to worry about us, he insisted to prepare our breakfast and have his breakfast with us even its provided at the convention.

ARIS's POV

We visited the Bell House and the Butterfly Sanctuary.

"Daddy, why is called Bell House?" Arra

"It was named after General J Franklin Bell, the Bell House used to be the official vacation residence of the Commanding General of the Philippines. Today, it has been transformed into a museum that exemplifies American colonial architecture. Outside is an amphitheater that also serves as a manicured garden," I explained
