CNY Staycation

It was really nice to not be traveling over the break and just enjoy some fun times together around Hong Kong. The car made it easy to go on several outings and we also enjoyed reconnecting with old friends. 


 This was Josiah's second time ice skating and he loves it! He is not easily discouraged and picks himself back up (often). He would like to skip to an advanced level and doesn't understand why he couldn't glide and spin like the pros.
 We braved the crowds to watch the Chinese New Year firework show over the harbor. They are always so impressive.

Josiah stole the hearts of these people next to him who seemed to enjoy taking pictures and holding him more than the fireworks. Such a ham!
 The next morning the kids asked me to beat the drum while they did the "lion dance" around our living room.
 We went for a great family- friendly hike not to far from our house. It brought us to a huge grassy field where we picnicked, "flew" kites (they didn't get too far off the ground) played soccer, baseball and even golf. Oh, and I took a nap in the shade- perfect day!
