Boom! The happiest place on earth

What a blast these last two days have been. A full day at Disneyland *and* pizza for dinner? What a perfect day... Except for the quick trip to the doctor to make sure Leboy's ear is okay. Kick start the next day with some paddle boating in Park View and then some fun times eating burgers and bowling with Hong Kong University's African students. Winding up the night with an amazing view to some genuine Chinese fireworks!

The happiest boy on earth!

To the infinite, and beyond!

How many vehicles can we cover on this trip?

 Pizza!

No trip would be complete without a visit to the doctor..

Paddling time

Feed the fish and cycle the boat...

Burger time with the African students of HKU

Guess who was scoring strikes by the end of it

We gave up soccer for this... Worth it!

Thanks Jimmy for getting us a premium viewing spot!

Hong Kong Drift

The adventures don't stop... Leboy has once again amazed us, this time by showing how quickly he mastered riding a bike. A little bit of fishing and a traditional Chinese dinner in New Territories gave way to a brand new day where he visited Victoria Peak. And, now Leboy has his own email address! Why don't you say hello? leboy.runda@gmail.com

Ready to ride

Rolling with the waves

Another eventful day in Hong Kong. After a dim sum experience that was met with mixed success, we went over to Hoi Ha for kayaking and swimming. Leboy took to both like a fish in the water - no challenge is too big! Wrapped up the day by celebrating the Mid-Autumn festival with Chinese lanterns and moon cake.
Dim Sum - at least the spring rolls scored high

The international gang...

It's a sea life for me

 What a natural!

Fierce pirate!

Kayaking is fun, but the real laughs come from being in the water, not on it.

Happy mid-Autumn festival!

(Sea) Lions, Sharks, and Bears, Oh My!

Two full days in Hong Kong and oh my the things we have covered already! By far the biggest hit has been the beach, matched only by the pizza we ate upon Leboy's arrival. Today we spent the day in Ocean Park, discovering new animals from sharks to pandas, from koalas to sea lions. Today's favorite, though, was the Mine Train rollercoaster!
