Typhoon Party

On Tuesday night, a Signal 8 was hoisted in Hong Kong and we experienced very heavy rain, strong winds and thunder/lightning. This continued all through Wednesday. On Thursday, the babies all got together for a paddle in the pool despite a little bit of rain. The two girls were little fashion plates - Ellie looking very pretty in a demure and super-cute little pink tankini, while Katy caused a minor stir in her sassy new bikini!


Ellie thought Katy's outfit was outrageous!


The two boys were too interested in the toys to worry about what the girls were wearing. Here's Callum filling up his green watering can while Joshua plays with the blue bucket.



An interesting thing I have noticed is that the baby host or hostess is usually a little perturbed at having a bunch of baby visitors encroach on their territory. Conversely, the baby visitors LOVE the opportunity to explore new ground. We haven't had these particular baby visitors to our place very often, so Katy was feeling a little uncertain about what was going on. Very unusually for Katy, who usually has to be dragged out of the water or bribed out with food, Katy preferred to snuggle with Auntie Mila rather than play in the water with all the other babies.

After the paddle, Callum's Daddy gave him a big bounce in the castle, which Callum LOVED!

Finally, Auntie Tiffany led the troops in a stirring rendition of incy wincy spider, followed by a performance of big fat spider that really entertained the crowds.
