A sunny weekend in the parks..

The weather was fantastic this weekend so we headed out to the Art museum on Saturday morning, we had a walk round the grounds and then went into the museum. Dylan really enjoyed the exhibits this time...especialy the interactive ones see video below. You speak into the microphone and the 'audience' applause and lights react accordingly.




Then in the afternoon we went to our neighbourhood park to play with bubbles and have a run around..by the end of all this Dylan was soooo tired and passed out for a good night's sleep!!







On Sunday we went to the Botanical gardens at the Science Museum, another beautiful day. D loves checking out the ponds and throwing 'leaf' boats into the stream. By the way that is Maya in the sling (thank you Sandy) anice way to carry her around that most people seem to mistake as a handbag:)))

Autumn

Autumn or fall:) is my favourite season here..we get to be outside without sweltering heat and the weather is just perfect!!
Pics are from 2 weeks ago, we went to the Art museum....Dylan loves running around and playing with bubbles. My pregnant brain combined with a charger that went through the wash has left me without a camera sometimes over the last few weeks... had great fun at Carrefour the other week with Sandy and Ivo ..pulled some pics off her blog (thank you Sandy) Also met up with those guys at the science museum last Sunday..but no cameras..boo.hoo.. Maya continues to grow adn so does mum..:) pics soon. I have been busy washing and sorting clothes etc...trying to get things ready slowly!!

Video from Feng-Le park ...Ciro and on the NT$10 car rides.

Tomb sweeping vac days

Don't know where these past few days have gone. We went to the art museum (one of your favourite places) on Sunday. It was just supposed to be a "let Dylan burn off some energy" stop before heading to the supermarket for groceries. Turns out Dylan decided otherwise. usually when we go to the art museum we run around outside, take a walk through the museum and end up having a waffle and coffee. We were heading back to the car after his run when he pulled us into the museum, looked at one of the works., pulled us to the elevator. We hit the button for the second floor...just wanting to see what he would do. He walked into the coffee bar, sat on the chair and waited. So that was it we had to have a waffle. He sat so nicely throughout this (probably because it was his idea) and ate a whole quarter to himself!
We went to play at Ivo's this morning. Lots of fun always and baby Burl is getting bigger. So cute! On a few occasions Dylan passed something or gave something to Ivo , so happy to see that!!!

We have 4 days off from tomorrow. It is Tomb sweeping day or Qingming festival here tomorrow. Looking forward to the break. Yesterday was a hectic day...i won't go into details. Uncharacteristically i got VERY mad at the hospital where i took Dyan for a hearing test (he is still not talking much and we just want to have him checked) I did not even get in to see the doctor in the end and have decided i will take him to Jen ai (where he was born) because the international patient center there is really helpful and i am sure the whole process will be much smoother.

He loves climbing into things, boxes, containers and in this case his cupboard!!

The running episode...followed by the waffle!!



Just missed the boys standing here dancing (as soon as i got the camera out they stopped)

Burl was all snuggled up in the cutest of outfits!! A chilly day today...this after Dylan got a heat rash on the weekend...global warming?

Photography

I have always loved taking photos, now with the new camera i have been going crazy again. So thought i'd put up some of the pics..not eveything i photograph is Dylan...tulips and fish from the botanical garden at the Taichung Natural Science museum and a sculpture at the Taichung art museum
