Nagtabon

One of our favorite beaches in Puerto Princesa is Nagtabon Beach. It is in Bakungan, about a 40 minute drive from our home. The drive is mostly over rough road and is quite bumpy but because it is hard-ish to get to, the pristine beach is almost always totally deserted. In the months that I was pregnant with Luke, we used to go to Nagtabon with our friends almost every weekend. After Luke was born we didn't go as much because there aren't any amenities there so it can be hard with a small baby. But now that he is bigger, we've started going regularly again and it is always so much fun.


Last Sunday we went and shared a delicious picnic lunch with our friends Kat and Gener and their baby girl Sophia, Bonivie, Sandra and Lloyd. We also brought our two girls, Harper and Scout, along. They absolutely love running along the beach and swimming with us. Such a great way to beat the heat, and we got some adorable photos to boot:

Such a gorgeous beach...

Too cool.

Our girls Harper and Scout LOVE going to the beach

Luke played really well with Baby Sophia. He was very patient with her. Loved watching them together and love this shot though can't remember now what they were looking at...

Feast of red rice, BBQ pork chops with peanut butter 

(ridiculously delicious, thanks Gener!), smoked eggplant and lechon manok

Like I said, Luke was being so patient. They were so cute together!!!
