Roots in Cavite

Picinic at the Evergreen Rotary Park in Bremerton
On a sunny day, the children of Little Lambs Den Childcare had embarked on a delightful field trip to Evergreen Rotary Park. This park, nestled in Bremerton, had boasted playgrounds where kids swung high and slid down with glee, a skate park for the more adventurous, and serene waterfront views that families often enjoyed. Throughout the day, the park had resonated with the joyful laughter of children, punctuated by the exciting moment when the piñata had burst, showering them with candies. Parents, seizing the moment, had snapped photos to capture these memories. In the midst of all the excitement, parents had found moments to connect.

More than just a casual outing, that day had been about building connections and cherishing memories together.
Visiting the Bremerton Bug and Reptile Museum
Walking inside the Bremerton Bug and Reptile Museum had been like entering a different world. This was where the wonders of nature came alive. As visitors we wandered through, the soft rustling of leaves and distant croaks of frogs had filled the air. During our previous visit, we had been particularly captivated by a vibrant chameleon, its colors shifting as it moved gracefully from one branch to another. Children from our daycare had been wide-eyed as they encountered slithering snakes, lively lizards, and even the delicate dance of spiders weaving their intricate webs. The museum had offered a scavenger hunt, which was a delightful way to learn while having fun. Small groups seeking education and adventure had had a great experience. The live insect display had been a must-see, with visitors watching bugs up close. There was also an exhibit that showcased reptiles in all their glory. They also had small gifts for those who wanted to get something to remember their visit by. You can read more about it here bug museum.
