We decided for Jordyn and Cody's first trip here in the Philippines we would just go to Cebu... Plus I needed milk for Payson from S&R so it worked out perfect.. It is only a 30 minute flight from Bacolod so it's not bad at all.. We left our house at 5 a.m. because our flight was leaving at 7:15 a.m. We got there at 7:45 and had the whole day ahead of us.. Julie lined us up with a driver to pick us up from the airport and drive us around wherever we wanted to go all day long! It was nice to not have to wait for a taxi and to always have a car whenever we needed one!

The first thing that we did was went to our hotel in hopes that we could check in early because we were all tired and could have used a nap! We could've checked in early but they wanted like an extra $20 so we decided it wasn't worth it and left our bags at the hotel and decided to go tour the place before checking in!
The first thing we did was go and find the Cebu Temple and walk around the grounds of the Temple! It was gorgeous.. The grass was so green they took great care of it, the temple was gorgeous, the mission home is right next to the Temple, so is the MTC in Cebu, and the distribution center. Things are so so cheap at the distribution center! We went up to walk around the temple but they wouldn't let us because Landon, Jordyn, and Cody were wearing shorts!:( So next time we go to Cebu we will know better so that we can walk around the Temple!

| They keep it done up so pretty! |
After the Temple we decided we would take a drive up to the top of the mountain to look over the whole city of Cebu! When we got up there we found out that it was like a hotel resort kind of thing.. You had to pay to go up which wasn't bad it was cheap! We got as far as we could driving and then had to hike the rest.. Ha we were seriously all dying. None of us have worked out in 2 months and those hills were steep! It was worth the hike in the end but during the hike we were wondering what we got ourselves into! It was probably 105 degrees or hotter so we were all sweating so bad! It was way pretty to look over and see the whole city!

 |
| Haha he pulls it off pretty good right? |
 |
| Poor Landon had to carry this load the whole hike |
 |
| He was terrified of the tree with a face on it |
 |
| These are the steep stairs we had to hike up to get to the top... There was at least 10 sets of them.. This picture does not do them justice! |
 |
| It was kind of a Disney themed resort |
After our hike we were starving to we decided to go to S&R to eat the best pizza in the world and do some shopping.. S&R is just like a Sam's Club or Costco back home! It's way overpriced here like Payson's milk for a half gallon is $4 but he needs milk so we buy it! After we spent a fortune there we went back to the hotel to check in and take a well needed nap!
 |
| Payson is obsessed with trying to bite Landon's nose! So before nap we had to play this game! |

We all slept until about 6:30 and got up and decided to go to dinner.. We went and walked the mall that was by our hotel for a little bit and then went and ate at KFC and then came back to finish the night up with swimming!
It was a good first day in Cebu but by the end of the day we were all exhausted!:)
