AQUA BALL FUN. I've first spotted this activity at the outdoors of SM Mall in Baguio City sometime in 2009. I saw a girl struggling to stand up and run through the waters while inside an inflated big ball. And I thought that was fun.


When I saw the same activity just recently at the outdoors of SM City Clark in Angeles City, I was very glad and immediately thought of taking my nephews and my niece there for fun. I've checked from the staff how long would they be staying at the mall and I was told that the exhibit would run for one month. My two nephews were flying in from Italy in a few days, so I pinned that down on my schedule of activities when they  come home for a short vacation. 

That day, I and my other siblings took my two nephews along with the rest of the family kids to SM City Clark to experience the activity. We were supposed to go to the Dinosaurs Island (also in Clark) and used the tickets I purchased at Granton but alas! when I made a call to the management I learned that the Dinosaurs Island was closed  (take note: only that day) in light of some projects within the Clark zone. I was greatly disappointed upon hearing that! We were set to go. We were already dressed up, and the kids were all set for the supposed visit to Dino Island. "What now?" I was asked. It was my mistake not to check and make a call beforehand. At first I thought of taking them instead to Zoobic Safari or Ocean Adventure in Subic, Zambales but then going some extra distance was not among the options that time. After discussing it over with my siblings I decided to take them instead to SM City Clark, thinking that the Aqual Ball Fun would compensate and offset the disappointment that I saw from the kids upon learning they were not going to see the dinosaurs.


And surely enough, when we got there, we forgot about our disappointment over us not being able to go to Dinosaurs Island. The kids enjoyed their time inside the inflated balls.  Below are some of their photos:

My niece and four nephews along with other kids kept testing their balance above the water while inside the ball.  No matter what amount of struggle they put in, they simply just couldn't keep up.

When their time was up, I was happy to see the kids smiling and laughing for the experience. From the looks of it, I knew they had so much fun :-)
