Autumn/ Fall.....kinda

It's Autumn...or is it. To our dismay they closed the pool at our building at the end of July...when it is still 30 degrees out...no lifeguards available ...aargh!!! The weather has cooled off a little though over the last few weeks and so we headed off to the flying cow ranch to do the usual feeding of goats, rabbits et al and riding the pony. Maya was a lot more settled this time...considering it is only the second time she has been on a horse since she was thrown off...she did so well!!

Our school went on a little field trip to the paper place up near Metropolitan park. Everything there is made of paper....they also have a lot of honey paraphernalia....the kids had fun and got to do a DIY money box.

And then for something completely different. I turned around int eh car to find my kids had been replaces by Spongebob and Doraemon. The two of them thought themselves quite hilarious...the kids that is.

Pretty as a picture:))

A photo catch up.

After a lovely holiday we have been back at work for a few weeks and it has been a crazy, busy couple of weeks. It is moon festival this weekend and that should indicate the beginning of autumn....there has been a feel in the air that it is on its way. It really is the best time of year in Taiwan. Both kids are doing very well! They are even starting to gang upon us sometimes:)) Our building closed the swimming pool (ALREADY!!!!) so they will miss that. They have enjoyed the swimming so much this year...

We went to see Cars two..unfortunately they only had the English version in 3D. I say unfortunately because the glasses are quite big and don't fit Maya well..she spent most of the movie with them off...but Dylan loved it and keeps trying to get us to go again:)

It is Pomelo season here...and of course what is pomelo season without using the peel as a hat.

One of their favourite games is to run around covered in their sheets as ghosts....which then turns into a chasing game followed by a tickle game:))

At least once on the weekend we head over to the nearby elementary school ..which is open for people to use to exercise, play basketball etc... Here are the boys running the track:)

In the playground area ..Maya made a little friend. They were inseparable.

 

I put this on fbook but it was a bit big..hope grannies can see it here:))
