Hoppy Easter!

We had lots of fun this Easter. I was a little bummed because I was really excited to do the Tai Pak beach egg hunt this year (30,000 eggs buried in the sand!) - I have been wanting to do it the last two years - but there were so many registrants that we didn't get in. Oh well, there were a lot of other fun activities that Ethan got to participate in instead. The best part was that Mike, Venus and Jaden came down to visit us for Easter holiday so it was lots of fun to hang out with them. Jaden has gotten so big! I think he might even wear the same size clothes that Ethan wears...he for sure can fit into Ethan's diapers (no we have not tackled potty training yet).

Nestle gave out toast with a chocolate bunny on top.

Which Ethan thought was delicious.

Jaden chillaxed and soaked everything in while he watched his cousin play.

First up was an mini egg hunt.

Ethan only collected green eggs (his favorite color natch)

Next he swatted eggs around with a golf club. E was really into this one. We might have a golfer on our hands.

But his favorite activity by far was the bounce house. We went three times! This was the same bounce house they set up last year. I showed pictures from last Easter to E and he was so excited to go to the bounce house again.

Much needed ice cream break after all the bouncing.

We also got to meet the Easter....frog? He was cute though!

Rocked a bit on a horse.

Collected some balloons.

They also had:

A station to catch fish.

A roller coaster.

A station where you jump to catch eggs.

We had a great time and best of all, all the activities were free! There was so much to do that we didn't even make it to the North plaza where they had different play stations set up. It was such a great day and we were so glad that we could spend time with family. Happy Easter everyone!

Saying Good-Bye to Hong Kong

We are excited to move back to Cali, but that also means saying good-bye to so many friends that we have made here. Ethan's last day of school was at the end of March and so we bid adieu to his teachers, Miss Cizzy and Miss Eva a few weeks ago. Although Ethan only started school two months ago, he immediately fell in love with both his teachers - on the weekends he would ask where Miss Cizzy and Miss Eva were and then answer 'she is waiting for me at school!'. Everyday he would race into his classroom with a huge smile...I'm so glad he liked the school environment (huge classrooms with a 30:2 student teacher ratio) and has learned so much at school (everyday week he would come home singing a new song) and know that it is due to the two great teachers he had.
