Fun Ranch's Boo-Time! Halloween party 2015

Yearly, we always look forward to events like Halloween because we get to celebrate it with the ever generous Fun Ranch Ortigas( thank you , Ms. Ana!)
and their Halloween parties are famous for their being organized, happy décor, yummy meals and snacks and most of all, their costume fashion show. I let my kids choose their preferred costumes and dress up for the occasion.
Undoubtedly, Fun Ranch's parties are the best on the block.

Part of the experience of covering an event like this as a member of the media includes
receiving complimentary tickets for my whole family, meaning-- Food stubs for 5, unlimited ride tickets to Fun Ranch's "happy place"( we call it our happy place), access to loots , snacks, and the show itself.
We are genuinely faithful to Fun Ranch so I RSVP with a hearty “yes” for the 5 of us.
The "happy place" I just mentioned above features the following rides: Carousel, Ferris Wheel, Train Ride,  Red Baron Plane Ride, Bumper Car,  Kiddie Bumper Boat, Tea Cup Ride, Pirate Ship, Swing Ride, Roller Coaster, Balloon Flight, Space Quest, Airborne Adventure (weekends only) and Balloon Flight.

My 3 came as Finn (or Fiona for the girl version), Jake the Dog, and Princess Bubblegum from Cartoon Network's Adventure Time. Although I didn't really like the show itself, they are huge fans so I helped them achieve their goals of becoming their favorite characters even only for a day.
Hunting ability is part of a mom's super powers and luckily enough I was able to hunt and get their costumes the day before the event. I'm not a crafty person but that doesn't mean one should put zero effort so I made the Fiona pink sword and Princess Bubblegum's yellow crown thingy using a yellow folder and her old headband.

Last weekend, they also held a merry-not-so-scary Trick or Treat event for FREE for 150 kids but I was not able to go.
Ms. Ana and the whole Fun Ranch crew did a great job in creating a miniature catwalk for an impromptu Boo Time fashion show.
I think they had almost 200 participants during the event. Yehey!

Pepsi and Lactacyd Toddler Tubs were the co-presenters of this event.  Lazer Maxx (Laser Tag Arena), Dong-A, Magnolia Jelly Sip, Magnolia Pancake Plus, Kettle Korn, Iced Gem, Choco Iced Gem, Mini Boy, Mr. Cracker Marie Biscuits, Jack n' Jill Chiz Curls Sweet Cheese, Jack n' Jill Chiz Curls, Cloud 9 Chocolate Milk Drink, OMJ! Oh My Juice!, Jack n' Jill Roller Coaster, Jack n' Jill Puff Corn, Selecta Sweet Milk and Krispy Kreme were also part of the event.

Entertainment and activity partners were Gee Blitz Kiddie Salon, Costume Central, Jovani’s Magic, Fun Frames, Cheer U Up and Gamz Shop Photobooth

Some of the juices we got are from URC. OMJ!’s fruit-infused Outrageous Orange, Amazing Apple, and Dashing Dalandan variants are all fortified with Zinc. Known to help boost kids’ immune system, body resistance and brain function, Zinc may help growing boys and girls power up for school. You can get it for only P46.50 (SRP) OMJ! 6’s Baon Pack.

My 3 kids love the taste of Cloud 9 Chocolate Milk Drink because of its heavenly taste , plus it is a ready-to-drink beverage that is big on flavor and nutrients with the delicious mix of silky chocolate and Australian-quality milk without the added preservatives or artificial sweetener.

Would you believe that my 3 are still using Lactacyd Toddlertubs Bubbles? I love the moisturizing and hydrating effect, plus it is hypoallergenic. I particularly love the calming smell after taking a bath using the product. It makes me high somewhat, LOL!

We love using Dong-A products because of its wide range of brilliant colors. Excellent for doodling, ball pen art and other art techniques.

Lazer Maxx Tag Arena offers real-life laser combat game for the young at heart. I remember participating in this one of a kind game back when I was in Grade school.
You can experience MAXXimum thrill and fun with the coolest and newest team game in town at their Greenhills and Eton branches.
Rates: Mon-Thur (Weekdays): 190/head/game
Fri-Sun and Holidays: 220/head/game

Rich Garden generously gave the kiddos yummy biscuits like Iced Gems, Mini Boy, Butter Stick Biscuits which my kids also enjoy.

Our Halloween party meal consisted of the special of the day which included a yummy meatball spaghetti, juicy fried chicken with french fries and Iced Tea. See how she loved everything on her plate?
After having a full tummy, my hubby Tone was most helpful to assist throughout the event. He accompanied my 2 to get their meals from the other room. My stress levels went zero that day. Wishing for more days like that.

Before the show, I constantly reminded my daughter to smile and enjoy the event but to no avail. My Tweeny just stood there like a gigantic Fiona statue. I wonder now if she's already too big for this kind of event.

 My Jake the Dog has all the moves. If he could only showcase his dancing abilities, he would gladly do the "nae-nae" in a heartbeat.

 My Princess Bubblegum loves everything pink. She asked me if she could wear the pink hair all the time, at school. I told her not in a million years. LOL.

We never get to see Jovani's Magic but we were fortunate enough to see the performance of these incredible acrobats ( they call themselves "The Neutron" )at the event. They were awesome and hilarious. A total performer indeed. :)

This year's Halloween Costume Party was purely fashion show. But they took note of those who were able to give the staff the best Halloween pose. Seriously, it was rather a difficult job to judge 140 kids. You need to list down everything  and remember every detail.
Marketing manager, Ms. Ana, gave special awards to 3 best posers of the event.
#25 Watermelon baby gave the best pose and received a box of Krispy Kreme, Dong-A products and Lazer Maxx gcs.
The Aldub costume also got a prize for the best pose.

 A special award for this mommy and daughter was given as well. Kudos to both of you!

After all the awarding ceremony and show comes the trick and treat event. This map was handy enough to lead us the right way.

See all the goodies we got? Oh, by the way, I participated at one event where mommies took selfies with the kids in costumes listed on the paper. Of course, the mommies won the contest. Got a huge bag of Lactacyd products for my 3! Anything for my 3 :)

Many thanks to Fun Ranch, the staff and Ms. Ana for facilitating this highly successful Halloween event.
The opportunity to be part of it was tremendous.
I continue to be grateful to be included each year, actually this is my 3rd year ( click the links to view my FIRST and SECOND time at Fun Ranch ).
Of course, I look forward to the next Boo Time Halloween party.

Fun Ranch indeed is an amazing venue and I highly encourage others to join and participate next year's event.
