Week 1...

We have had a successful week so far. We have figured out a lot of the various forms of public transportation. We have Kay signed up in a preschool starting next week. This was no small task as they are very competitive in Hong Kong. It seems to be very hard to find openings. I think we lucked into a great school with an opening. We hope to get her in one that will do a little more Mandarin as she gets a little older.

We found a great park right up the street from our temporary housing. Kay really enjoyed being able to run around and play with stuff. She also really enjoyed watching everyone do Tai Chi. She is really missing toys and other kids. I think school next week will be good for her. It will also help once I meet some people so she will have other kids to play with.




I read there was a kids street event that was Sesame street themed. Kay was so excited to see the Elmo parade. When we arrived everyone was lined up for the parade and we heard music. We thought for sure we were in the right place. Kay was on Craig's shoulders so excited! Next thing we know... lady dancers were coming up the street. We were at the wrong street event! Kay was disappointed, but her daddy was excited. Soon we found the right event. We saw Elmo coming and Kay was waving and squeeling in excitement. Once Elmo came up to her, she got scared, screamed and ran toward me. We captured the classic child mascot picture!

Waiting anxiously for the parade...



Ooops....Not a Sesame Street Parade!



Found the Kid Street!



We found Elmo!




NOT a fan of Elmo once he tried to come up and say hello to Kay!
