Beach Clean-up

Easter Monday we participated in a beach clean-up.
We had been to this beach a few weeks prior and it was FILTHY! Just covered in trash. So bad that we would not swim or play there. So we were happy to help clean it up, even though it was a SWELTERING day.

Ella tuckered out after cleaning and playing on the beach all morning

And this is why Ella likes Daddy to read her bedtime stories :)

The best part about this picture is Leah's hand there about to save Julia.

We inadvertently sat them facing into the sun so none of them wanted to look into the camera. My bad.
But as you can see, A and E are "cheesing" hard

The weather has been incredible lately







Ella and Suds had a blast with the water hose









Ella loved spraying her Daddy!





Dad loved splashing Ella

While waiting for the ferry home Ella's water bottle fell into the harbour!

Luckily there were some fishermen nearby we were able to flag over for some help

The past few days have been stunning here in HK (Sorry Larry and Judy!)






We had another nice BBQ in the garden. Although we were almost killed by a falling palm frond, BEWARE! Paradise has it's risks!

There is a great online marketplace for our new 'hood that I troll. It's so great living in a small contained place. It means that wherever the seller is, it'll be easy for me to go pick up the item.

I got this exosaucer for FREE!! Now that we have all this space I am spoiling Julia with all the big fun things I wanted for Ella but didn't have space for. As you can see, Ella loves it:) When we went to visit Kristan in NZ she had one for Keira and Ella spent a lot of time in hers as well.

new hair cut

Before. When Suds saw this picture he said "oh! just like we met and you were 16"
Never mind we didn't meet till I was 19 :)


After!

I don't hate the bangs but I'm not convinced I'll keep them either. But so far at least this haircut is really easy to style
