#1199 - Tagaytay Skyranch Shots for Saturday.

A beautiful Saturday to all dearest Hiveans scattered all over the world! I hope you have a wonderful feeling of having absolutely no strict schedule to follow. One of the best things about this day is that we can let the hours unfold naturally. Wishing everyone a relaxing and incredibly happy Saturday. Step outside and walk or run, take a deep breath of fresh air and enjoy the freedom!

Moving now to our daily shots, one gloomy noon with my family and a bunch of her relatives arrived at Sky Ranch in Tagaytay. The main goal was just to see the famous Taal Lake and just have some fun together. The place was filled with people and the cool Tagaytay air was a relief from the metropolitan heat we left behind. The energy in the park was also infectious, plenty of music playing and the sounds of people laughing and screaming.

We decided to play some games with the basketball shooting arcade. It turned out to be a hilarious competition among us three guys. We were tossing balls trying to shoot one because it's difficult. I made one basket out of 10 while the two other shooters didn't, it was a great way to warm up and get everyone laughing and in a festive mood and I got a big banana air filled toy prize not this bear.

After our little arcade battle, we walked over to the Sky Eye which is the massive Ferris wheel, we were all excited. We bought our tickets thanks to the relatives and then we lined up. Since the cabins could only seat a four people max, we had to split up. I got into a cabin with my wife and my son, while our other relatives got into separate cabins also ahead of us.

Going up in that Ferris wheel took some time but it was worth every second. As our cabin climbed higher and higher, the view of Tagaytay gets better. When we reached the very top, the view was breathtaking. We could see the Taal Lake with the tiny Taal Volcano. We took a bunch of photos through the glass.

The Ferris wheel took a good while to complete the full loop but we were all satisfied with just that one cycle, we were all smiles. Then we gathered the whole family together and headed straight to a nearby restaurant to sit down and have a well deserved lunch care of our relatives.
