 An art show at the West Kowloon Promenade...crazy what they call art!! A giant blow up poop and pig bouncy castle. Don't you love where u enter the bouncy castle?

 We went to the exhibit during a thunderstorm so we didn't get in and didn't have to worry about crowds:-)

 I made a photo book for Geeta for her birthday filled with photos, bible verses and messages from some of her friends.  It was fun to put together:-)

 Kylie's team won silver at the basketball tournament on Saturday!

 Rachel was really excited about the party.  What she really wanted was the cupcakes:-)

The cupcakes and cake that Rachel and I made for the party.  Unfortunately, the party got cancelled  because Lucas got sick.  So......Kylie, Rachel and I ordered in pizza and ate junk food all night!!

 Having a wrestle:-)

 Getting ready to take a group picture!

It has been great to have Marg and Gary in Hong Kong.  We will be sad to see them leave!

Summer has finally arrived in Hong Kong and the weather is quite warm.  It has taken us a little to get used to as we have had such a cool and mild spring.  BUT....I am loving it!!
There are a lot of things going on until the end of the year.  It is hard to believe that we are already starting to count down the days!
Have a great week!
Love,
Kylie, Jocelyn and Rachel
