Beach, bowling, and movie (by Keegan)

Last week Dad took Tirzah and me to Ma Wan Island for a farewell party with some of my ICS friends. This is Ma Wan beach. As you can see, there is a great view of the bridge and HK Island.
 


Noah's Ark is in the background under the bridge.


My friends Lucas (left), Cayden (middle), and Gavin (right).


Some people didn't bring socks for bowling so they had to buy some.


Waiting for our turn to bowl.

(American) Father's Day 2013



Although Father's Day is not until September in Australia, the children were keen to celebrate the American holiday today. We went to Luca's in Tai Mei Tuk for a special dinner.


And what a wonderful Dad he is, too!

Dinner with the worship team from church




Engagement/pool party at school for two ICS colleagues getting married



  Surprise birthday party for a teacher's 50th birthday




Playgroup mums night out


Hen's night

2013 ESLR awards

Jemilla officially graduated from fifth grade today. Her teacher gave her the ESLR (Expected School-wide Learning Results) award for persuasiveness, saying that Jemilla's writing is so skillful that she can convince readers of "just about anything".


Keegan was happy to receive the ESLR for being adventurous from his teacher Mrs Loo.
