A Beautiful Saturday Afternoon

Many of you would have probably seen these photos on FB but bear with me because this blog is also a "gift" to our children. We hope that Ryan and Mia will look back at all these photos when they're older and be reminded of all the treasured moments we shared as a family while they were growing up.

As usual Ryan woke up bright and early around 7ish and after a "discussion" with Daddy decided that he wanted to go to Ocean Park. So while father and son enjoyed a morning with the dolphins, fish, sharks and pandas, Mia and I enjoyed some peace and quiet (those of you with little kids will know that the word quiet does not feature in their vocabulary!) at home.

The boys swung by the apartment to pick Mia and I up on the way to lunch. After a satisfying Korean meal we drove out to Big Wave Bay. It was a perfect day for the beach, cloudy with a cool breeze.

Practice makes perfect. As Yee Mah taught him, "one stick, one half tummy and a kick-out".

So proud of himself!
