After months of hearing how he would get to see Uncle Chris and Auntie Liz, finally it has happened. I feel as if he was starting to think we were making it all up. Especially since we arrived in Hong Kong a number of days before they did. He was so excited to see them the …
While we have seen many sights, we have spent little time just playing like kids do. I feel very fortunate to discover a small playground around the corner from our hotel. Our first time here was yesterday late-afternoon. Clearly he was in need of active play that isn’t allowed in the hotel room. Finally …
