The 4 day break

The weather has been very cloudy and rainy this weekend...tried not to let it stop us getting out and about. Thursday we went to Ching shui, a small town but i have been wanting to get out to the Seaport art center there, i read about it on the net ages ago so we finally made it out there and it was closed!! Still the grounds are pretty extensive and they had kids art displayed outside which Dylan enjoyed running around. We then went on to the harbour for lunch..yummy seafood goodies! No pics, we were about to take pics and then realised the store had a hammerhead cshark outside and the owner looked very suspicious...not sure on the legalities there. After all the running and 'sea' air Dylan passed out in the car. Friday we went to Metropolitan park for a bit to feed the ducks and have a picnic (i forgot to mention that our darling son decided that 6:30 was a good time to wake up on holidays so our days started early!!) Dylan loves running and he can run for ages, we actually have to stop him and force him to take a rest..he is like me goes very red in the face when exercising.

On the way to Ching shui we passed the graveyard. Tomb sweeping day so families were out tending to the graves of their ancestors.

Pics of Dylan at the Art center, he was teething like crazy so hand in his mouth most of the time...he is really having a tough time with these bottom teeth.

This little old house was across the street...

Below at the beginning of the run and...still running but getting tired and grumpy!! Just after this Ciro and I had to become the transport back to the car




Enough!!!! NO more pictures!!!

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?
