Snorkeling

Max was shown how to snorkel recently and has taken to it like a fish to water. We started off in the pool one Saturday afternoon then he wanted to keep going in the bath! Not sure what he is looking apart from white steel and a plug but it sure does keep him occupied.

Spring

Spring is definitely here and Zara got to take some tulips to school today.

Biking

After a long hiatus, we are back blogging. Here we have three sizes of bike all ready for a ride down the street.

Growing

Check out these beautiful long legs and big 6 year old feet!

Riding - a couple of short videos

No trainer wheels!

It was a shaky start but we've now got a little 6 year old who can ride with no trainer wheels! Quite remarkable how it happens. One moment they can't do it, then the next moment they can!

Oil for China

A fear of mine in living in China is facing the cooking oil section of the supermarket. It is very, very overwhelming and stretches across multiple aisles. Canola, sunflower, soy bean, mung bean, black bean, rice, vegetable, olive and all sorts of blends too. I'm sure there is a Cooking Oil Department Manager and a few deputies to keep things in order.
