Disneyland HK

Decked out in her ears from Aunt Amy and Disneyworld. Bella is on the disney train heading out to the magical park.

The moms get a chance to smile for a picture.

Phil, Annabelle, Bryan and Bella wait in line to meet Minnie & Micky.

A trip to Disneyland isn't complete without a picture with its main attractions. Micky and Minnie were decked out in holiday garb and getting everyone excited for the holiday season.

Annabelle loved the mouse!

A good grin for Daddy.

Karina and Annabelle sharing a smile and laugh.

Zoom zoom. The daddies went on the space mtn ride while the babes enjoyed a show in the shade.

Annabelle was digging Dumbo. She kept hollering WEE as they went up and down.

Bella well she was trying to figure out where she was. She did get into the ride at the end.

A true sign of a good day at the park.

Getting ready for the holidays. Bella is practising making treats.












Thanksgiving

Our first Thanksgiving in Hong Kong. We had great company and lots of food. The bird was ordered fresh and flown in from the USA. All we were missing was the day off and football.

So cute. Bella and Annabelle share a kiss in front of the tree. We decorated early this year so we could share with the Patmans. Karina, Phil and Annabelle visited from Singapore. We ate and cooked all week. It was great fun!

Here we are after way too much food Karina, Phil and Laurence (Karina's cousin).

Play gym

Bella on the rip cord. She was holding on tight but enjoying the ride.

Here she is swinging. We really love to swing.

The balls are not her favorite. She keeps crawling out everytime I put her in. Annabelle is in the background crawling out as well.

Fun pics of Bella

Bella being a big girl and smiling while Daddy puts on her shoes and socks. She is starting to figure out what is going on but hasn't started helping with the tying of the shoes yet.

Mommy started weeding through xmas decorations. Bella was especially fond of the red beads.


Sedan Chair Race - HK

The Sedan Chair Race is for the Matilda Intl Hospital Charity Event. Bryan participated with DFS and helped carry one of the chairs. Supposedly it symbolizes when they used to carry patients up the hill to the hospital in the sedan chair. We are not sure many patients made it as the hill is quite large.

Daddy's biggest fan.

Waiting for the race to begin.

Every once in awhile Mommy gets a smile and a pose. Although it doesn't last for very long.

The Starbucks Team. With a good view of the chair. And yes, someone has to ride in the chair.

Daddy's team! He is in front in the yellow. They have a dragon theme going on.

Now you can see him better. They were taking a break from the helmets and enjoying the fresh air.

You made it Daddy! I was wondering where you were. Please pick me up.

Kowloon - Avenue of Stars

It was such a beautiful day in Hong Kong, Bella and Mommy decided to take a trip to Kowloon and go for a walk on the promenade.

Bella on the Star Ferry which crosses the harbour between HK Island and Kowloon.

Bella resting after walking up the steps outside the Space Musuem. We didn't go in we just stuck to the outside.

Bella's own version of Bruce Lee's karate! The Avenue of the Stars is similar to Hollywood's walk of stars. Although much smaller in comparison and the main attractions are Bruce Lee, where you can purchase your own bronze statue of the above, and Jackie Chan. You can see HK Island in the background.

Ah, what great sunsets all that pollution makes.

Sai Kung, New Territories

We took a road trip to the upper part of Hong Kong territory. We didn't get too lost.

Here is Bella learning to feed herself. Quite a milestone for her. She can take the food to her mouth and is still working on leaving it in her mouth.

Of course we like to practice walking everywhere. She is getting steadier on her feet.

Picking out possible food options for dinner, let's see fresh fish, crab, mussles.....


On the water in Sai Kung.
Bella's first temple in Hong Kong.





Late Halloween Pics

Our little bunny, with tail and all.







Trip

We took a quick trip to Vietnam to do a lot of shopping and see some sights.

Here is one of the pagodas in the middle of one of three lakes in Hanoi.

Bella wasn't really that interested in posing for the pictures.


Bicycle tuk tuk ride back to the hotel. An easy $3 after a long day on the feet.
