Ipad Fun...

My aunt's class got a bunch of Ipads.  She brought them home to figure out which meant we all got to play.  Here are some of the photos we took.

Hong Kong Disneyland - Oct 27-29 DAY 3

Day 3 in HK was a shorter day but we still got to get into the park for a bit.  5 hours or so.  We did the movie again and then did the rides we didn’t want to wait for the day before.  We did others as well and then caught a cab to the airport.  Off to Taiwan again.  We got home about 9 pm and were both beat from travel and walking.  We pretty much dropped our bags at the door and went to bed.  

 Jevin was a little freaked out.. you can see his hat..

 daddy.. I want to turn the wheel.. arrg.. make me puke

 daddy.. its big Candy.. but I cant take it.. why?

Hong Kong Disneyland - Oct 27-29 DAY 2

 Day 2 started with banana bread for breakfast with coffee and juice in the room and then off to Disneyland!  It wasn’t far from the Hotel so we hopped on the free bus and got there as early as we could.  Not very busy as its not a holiday anywhere so it was nice.  The weather was perfect for a day at a theme park.  Jevin was only too short for 2 or 3 rides so it was all nice to see.  We first took the train to get our bearings and then started walking around.  Lots to see and do.  There was a LONG LONG lineup to get photos with Mickey but Jevin was pretty leery about that still. 7 foot tall mice are pretty rare.   We did the rides, and ate lunch saw a 3D movie with smells, water bursts and forced air.  It was pretty cool.  So cool we did it twice.  Jevin was trying to grab the 3D stuff floating around.  It was very neat.  His favorite ride by far was the Buzz Lightyear ride.  Neon green, guns and aliens were everywhere, and there were no lineups.  We must have ridden on it 10 times.  When we walked out one time, the real life Buzz was hanging out so we got a photo op!  We did other rides and then found a seat to watch the parade.  It was pretty neat and Jevin was still tired from the travel and all the walking that day.  When he saw the parade, he got his second wind and even danced with some princess who I can’t name.  we walked around a bit more caught a couple rides and then waited for the fireworks.  And they were AWESOME! The park closes after the fireworks so we headed back to the hotel where we bought some food for breakfast the next morning and then were going to have a swim in the tub and then sleep.
We walked out and low and behold it was Donald duck!  Jevin wasn’t so shy by this point and got a hug and gave him a kiss.  We then went up to relax and sleep.

Hong Kong Disneyland - Oct 27-29 DAY 1

 Jason and Jevin made a quick trip to Hong Kong last week.  It was unplanned, but necessary.  The details are in the update for those of you who get that.  Basically an unforeseen complication arose forcing the boys to make a visa run.... BUT they ended up at Disneyland, so it's all good.

I will clip and paste parts of the update as I wasn't there.  So below you will read Jason's comments.

We left REALLY early on Tuesday morning.. Like 3 am, so when we got to the hotel at 11 am we were both a bit tired.  However, check in was at 3 pm.  I went to the front desk and checked in and asked if we could get a room early as I wasn’t going to go anywhere as tired as I was.  They mentioned that check in was at 3 but I begged as Jevin and I were beat.. They agreed but I had to pay a bit more for a different room.  We promptly got to the room, Jevin was so happy that there was a swimming pool in our room (big tub) so he asked to go for a swim. Which I obliged.   We then took a 4 hour nap and went for a walk around the hotel. Not really all that Disneyish, but there were some things to do for him.  He got to make a handprint and color, and then we ate dinner.  By the time we looked at the clock it was 730 PM and time for fireworks out our room window.  We watched them for 30 minutes and they were fantastic!  We then watched a bit of tv.. of course Disney, then Jevin requested another bath and then went to bed.  Long day for both of us.

 

  5 am.. in the airport to quickly.. .wait..

 ahhh.. daddy.. this is so white! and soft..

 making take home hand prints.. cool.
