Boat Trip With Our Former Neighbors From Sai Wan Ho

**Selamat Hari Raya Aildilfitri 2014…

One of the most awesome things about the Best Neighbors In Sai Wan Ho is how Mr H’s company (I think) has this Yacht Thing as one of the company perks. I call it “Yacht” with a capital Y to accord it the rightful respect it deserves, and I add “Thing” just in case it isn’t really classified as a yacht and I’m committing sacrilege. Our former beloved neighbors have two formerly-tween kids who have now grown into a recent uni graduate who’s starting work at a major investment bank and a soon-to-be undergraduate who’s just leaving for college. Basically It’s Now Or Never To Meet Them Or Wait Until The Second One Has Also Graduated. Plus, Kings literally just got back from Shanghai 🙂

The next most awesome thing is how they let us bring JD. (Later, it turns out one of the other guests is a vet who even checks JD out for potential motion sickness!)

Here’s all 3 kids waiting to board… (Yes Rockstar brought a book to read in case he got bored.. JD forgot hers) 

(It’s hard to tell which child is prouder of their charge. Wait, that can apply to any of the three…)

And so that be the boat/ Yacht Thing we were on…

And that be JD remembering her boat legs…

(JD used to be on the boat all the time when we wake boarded – she even had her own life jacket so we could pull her back into the boat easier.. I console myself that she’s getting older anyway, but honestly it’s hard to keep up the number of outdoors-y activities when you live in a country that has heat warnings and typhoons and rainstorm warnings and the gamut of storm gradings re outdoor activities that necessitates some awareness of which aged child can still have activities in which grade storm warning….. And yes heat warnings for the dogs/ pets in general are also circulated by I think SPCA or etc, some of the animal shelters…)

Add to that Rockstar finding his boat legs (and suitable facial expression to go with)

And then there was jet skiing…

(Suitably “act cool” expression alighting from jet ski :P)

(Which is a little hard to maintain when you are on a giant yellow banana)

(Though he pulls through here…)

And Wow I Didn’t Know How Color-Coordinated These Two Are, With The Boat

And family selfie to end the day

The Ends.
