A Day out in the Sand

Last July 13 the Redemptorist Davao Community with the whole staffs and their families went to Gulf View Resort at Bago in Toril, Davao City. We had the common rest and recreation as one apostolic community. We departed from Bajada around 8 AM and arrive at Gulf view around 9:30 Am. It was a fun day since we have different games for all ages. We also divided ourselves to different committees before going to Gulf view. We had the program committee, the food committee, and the physical arrangement committee. As we arrive at the area, the food committee immediately prepared and cook the food. While the program committee started with the games.

What catch most of the attention was the games prepared for the children of the staff specially the shoot the straw game and pass the glass. Yet Nanay Betty’s granddaughter stole the whole show when she started to dance to the music she hears. The girl has a bright future ahead of her as most of the people would say. Then later, the young and young at hearts have their own games. The staff with the CSsR Students and Senior community was divided into 5 groups. Each had fun while playing the gagaw game, the community walk and the catch the egg. Afterwards it is straight to the water for those who really loves to swim.

By 12 noon we have a festive lunch. It was blessed and shared as it was always been. All eat out their hearts at the big banquet that awaits them. Afterwards the physical arrangement was busy in washing all the dishes. Some went to sing some songs while others went to small groupings for stories. Still some hit again the beach. While others relax by playing cards and listening to the music in their players. Yet other CSsR students can’t be contented wide enough. They played beach soccer while the others became their expectators. After a couple of rounds of play they went to showers and prepared to go home. We left gulf veiw around 4 PM.

There was still lots of food left. We had a fun day and a relaxing one as a whole community.
