After our Eden Nature Park tour, we continued our day trip at Malagos Garden Resort. Another beautiful destination like stepping into a little paradise tucked away in Davao City.
Many times we've been here to Malagos, the place is so beautiful. Seeing plants, animals and the space is wide open. Same in Eden Nature's Park , the place was surrounded by lush greenery, beautiful and colorful flowers. It was about letting kids explore, appreciate nature in their own curious ways.
The first thing that caught our attention was the huge sign that welcomes us- Malagos Garden Resort. Aya and Gabriel were full of excitement, especially their favorite part-feeding the parrots.
I couldn’t resist asking a special request for the kids to pose in the huge sign. They stood in front of the garden's backdrop and a group photo of us. And we're making the moment memorable.
A giant outdoor chessboard in the garden . It was the perfect spot to slow down and challenge a friend to a game.
Everywhere I turned the place was beautiful to notice. From the refreshing air, towering trees, vibrant flowers and the paths lined with greenery. It felt like a sanctuary that showcases natural surroundings and created a serene ambiance and the guests feel at peace.
Because Aya loves animals, I want to make sure she’ll have a chance to have a special encounter. I really want to capture her joy and wonder that will surely capture her heart.
At Malagos Resort, I'm so thrilled to see her eyes light up and she meets her request to feed the parrots. I know it was simple but for her it was her beautiful experience, part of her core memories that Aya will cherish forever.
One of the highlights was when Aya got to interact with the parrots. I buy feed for the parrots. I don't know how much I brought because she really wants to stay longer and feed them more.
There was a frame like photo and you can take snap shots together with the cockatoo. Aya’s arm stretched out with confidence and excited the bird perched calmly on her arms. My daughter's sweet smile and laughter told me everything that she was genuinely happy. And it was clearly a moment she cherished. The sound of Aya's giggles was music to my ears and warms my heart.
And it was not a fancy or grand thing but it meant so much for her. I realize how valuable it is to give my daughter simple joys. Much better to give her an experience she'll never forget and would be treasured in her memory forever.
Another Aya's request. As we embarked on a charming ride and pulled by a magnificent white carabao. And all enjoying the leisurely pace and the serene surroundings.
It feels like Aya simply admiring the majestic friend from a distance.
There's a beautiful peaceful spot we found. And the calm water of the pond creates a beautiful contrast from the koi fish colors. We have a perfect place to stop, watch the koi fish and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Walking through the garden feels like stepping into a sanctuary and a simply pause and breathe deeply. Malagos will always hold a special place in our hearts.
