The kids and I had a lovely day out at the Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall park the other day... just when you think it's autumn and cooling off - phew - it's not... it's still a beautiful 22-27 degrees (which means it's actually a perfect NZ summer day)!
Helena hanging out in her hometown. What a cool place to be "from"... we really like it here.
There was an art class/ group painting around the lake - Hunter was right into it so we stopped by everyone's spots to have a look. It's fun to see what he's interested in. Helena at this time is still mostly interested in her thumb (see previous photo).
Bubble boy - he's finally caught on how to blow instead of suck - now it's fun to give him bubbles to play with.
A very generous Taiwanese mom shared her time and bubbles with Hunter who was right into trying to blow them himself... thankfully her child was also pretty gracious. This bubble wand made really big bubbles... I'll have to figure out where to get one of those for us too.
Meanwhile, Helena's having fun exploring the surrounding area and is drawn to the vending machine...
She was supposed to be feeding the birds but decided to eat the crusts instead - good thing I wasn't offering moldy bread - just the parts that nobody else in the house wants to eat.
I saw her playing with the vending machine change slot earlier... but then I figured out what she was doing...
She was making deposits of her own...
or rather - withdrawls... She's too cute (and unhygenic, I'm sure)! Sorry birds, no lunch for you today!!!
