Hong Kong Krazy-Lawn Mowing

 Yep...he's using a weed whacker to cut the grass. Its very green here, but very little grass. I've never seen a riding mower here, or even a small push one... but they do cut the grass. Fortunately they don't have to do it very often as the poor soil seems to make the grass grow really slow. Jack and I saw this guy "mowing" the grass in the park as week. 

Its beginning to look alot like Christmas

 Bedtime zone-out to Frosty the snowman!

Camping!

This past Fri/Sat we headed out to one of our favorite beaches to do some camping. We had one friend and her two boys join us for the day and another friend came with her three boys. It was a lot of little boys running around! Jack is on the bus with his buddies Ben and Isaiah.

Playing on the beach.. kids in the water... moms bundled up in sweatshirts :o)

SO fun to have friends join us.

 Hike up the hill by the beach

 If only the babies would have stayed on this mat, ha!

Not sure what Max was upset about....

 Making breakfast: pancakes, eggs and bacon.

 Dirty Max!

 Hiking out from our campsite. If you can imagine... this is us about 20 lbs lighter in gear that when we came the day before ;o)

 We finished off the campout with a great pizza lunch in Sai Kung

Hong Kong Krazies-Mong Kok Market

 Dear Mong Kok Market,

We love the fact that you have so much variety and you can find nearly anything in your crowded, narrow streets. We love the fact that when the price quoted is $280, you can offer $50 and have your offer accepted. We love the randomness of the wares offered and the cheap prices (and quality). You offer some items that just can't be found anywhere else. Where else can you find umbrellas that look like water bottles or chili pepper key chains or wigs?

But, really... putting yourself in the most densely population place on the whole earth? We don't love that. The crowds and the pushing, we don't love that... Inappropriate sayings on street signs? we don't really love that. Sunglasses that break after one day (which Bryan may or may not have experienced first hand!), thats a bit much...

Don't worry, we will keep coming back, you have us hooked. We love to look around and always find one or two things to take home. So keep up the good work, keep those streets super crowded and the quality low, and the prices cheap, we will be back!
