Super Saturday

Yesterday we had SUCH a fun day. It was filled with a mix of family, friends, exercise, food, and relaxing. 

Family bike ride to get breakfast in the morning.

 We rode about a mile and a half to Burger King for Breakfast.

 Jack did incredible on the 3 mile round trip ride.

 

Max fell asleep on the way home. Looks comfy, huh? :o)

We went to a friends in the late afternoon for swimming by their home and a BBQ.

We were home late...sweaty, tired and sandy, but it was a FUN day. How was your Saturday?

Hong Kong Krazies.... #1

I've decided I should be sharing more about what makes life here unique. We certainly see/hear/smell/taste things all the time that are different than our life would be in North America. So... I'm starting a new series, with a goal to post once a week. I've been taking photos of "interesting" things for a few months now, so I'm ready to go!

First up...one of my absolute favorite things here....

FABULOUS BAKERIES

 One of our favorite ones... A-1

 Jack loves the chicken sausage ones

 

My personal favorite is the Japanese Sweet Potato bun.... YUM!

and just because... a video of Jack swimming

ummm...Opps!

So it was Happy Hair Cut Saturday until....

 I forgot to put the longer guard on the clippers before taking a swipe on Max's head :o) This is what Bryan woke up to from his nap... opps! I meant it to all be the longer length, that was WITH the guard!

 

SO... now Max looks like dad... Pretty bald! :o) His head is scratchy to sleep with at night.. Bryan says that is my punishment for not checking the clippers :o) Good thing hair grows back... and REALLY good thing he is a boy :o) Can you imagine if I had done this to a daughter? Although what would clippers be doing by a girls head?

Hand-Foot-Mouth (and butt)

 

So.... I'm not sure where they picked it up... Probably somewhere along our travels home, but I'm pretty sure the boys came down with a case of Hand-Foot-Mouth disease last week. I snapped these pictures about two days in, so they were already getting better, but it was a very mild case. If I hadn't seen this picture online I might not have thought they had it at all. However when Jack came down with the same symptoms a few days later I was really convinced. Now it seems we may have also spread the love to a few friends. :o) Uh-oh! Max had the worst rash on his butt, which in my reading seemed to fit the symptoms... I guess the name hand-foot-mouth-butt isn't very catchy though :o) Jacks case is even more mild than Max, so we were blessed. Thankfully just a few more days of staying away from others and we can rejoin our social life!

sleepy baby

Poor Max.. Jet lag and teething at the same time have been a rough combination for him. We've gotten some great pictures though! :o)
