Hula Girls

Last Saturday, the boys were awake early once again. The long walk to LA Cafe was rewarded with the chance to sit at one of the new outdoor sofas.

Craig and Graham's Dad may have been dressed a little bit too warmly for those moments when the sun came out but those moments were quite rare.

On the walk home there was a small surprise. Some Japanese ladies were performing as part of promoting Japan as a tourist destination for Taiwanese people. The ladies were not young but their dancing was elegant and graceful and a real pleasure to watch.

They appeared to be the people whose story was turned into a movie that was released a few years ago, Hula Girls.

Craig enjoyed the jungle gyms on the way home, just the way he always does.

On Sunday, the weather was cool but dry. Craig and Dad rode over to Neihu Sports Park. He had fun on the jungle gym....

and the slide.

Craig even had a good time kicking a soccer ball for a little while but Dad was too busy to take pictures. The atmosphere at Neihu Sports Park is very peaceful when no planes are flying directly overhead. In the late afternoon it's a really nice place to be.

Graham has got to that age where he insists on doing some things for himself. The fact that he makes a bit of mess is not a consideration. He's a very good boy, really.

After dinner Craig went out with Dad to a park again. He simply had too much energy and needed to run around, otherwise it might have difficult to get to sleep at bedtime.
