HKG133: Central Library and Victoria Park

kids inspecting the rising water levels around their feet. it rained HARD and the puddles were fierce. the kids, of course, thought this was pretty awesome. me? notsomuch.

we met up with our friends this morning. at victoria park. about 7 minutes after it started raining sideways in sheets. we were all soaked despite ponchos and umbrellas. we regrouped and decided to head to the central library to play for a while and see if the weather would clear.

the central library has a toy library/playroom, and that's what we were most interested in. it's a popular place. there was an hour wait, a reservation required, and a rule about no more than two kids per adult. there are three kids in our friends' family. there were two adults between us today. after kinda standing in front of the reservation desk open-mouthed in wonder at this ridiculous stipulation, we decided to move on. we went to a bookstore downstairs to look around before deciding to head to our friends' apartment for some play time and lunch.

we had a great time hanging out, had a delicious lunch, and then headed back to our house to get q down for his nap. this afternoon/evening's been very quiet. we look forward to another fun day with our friends tomorrow!

  1. I'm always so amazed by how much you get done before lunch/nap! I can not get moving fast enough in the morning to accomplish Anything!

  2. ha! i love to be busy...i am thinking that once naps are no longer part of our day, we will spread the busy-ness out more, but for now, busy mornings usually ensure a good nap/peaceful afternoon and enough energy for one last hurrah before dinner/bed.
