Mid- Autumn Festival


Although technically it is still summer, HK just celebrated the Mid- Autumn festival last weekend. This is my favorite holiday here because it is family oriented, pretty, and has nothing to do (as far as I am aware) with the spirit world. Kids carry around colorful lanterns, burn candles and watch the full moon while eating mooncakes.
We celebrated the long weekend by going on a family retreat to Hong Kong's Gold Coast. For the six years we have been married Jason and I have taken a retreat, as a chance to reconnect, reflect and seek God's plan for our future. This year was a little different with Josiah along, but still refreshing and fun. Here are some pics from the pool where we stayed and Josiah's first hike in the backpack- he LOVED riding high on Daddy's back.Align Left
