T'was the night before our Christmas...


Well, the holidays have arrived... we sang carols in the morning as the students walked through the gate. Two school assemblies, homeroom lunches, and lots of well wishes and now we are on vacation. Time to go for a hike!

We got the boy up from his nap and got ready to go. Karla was feeling a bit of an upset tummy so she decided to pass on this trip so it would be Gramma, Opa, Sean and I off to the country park! The weather was a bit grey and its cold for Hong Kong, about 13C, but we were undaunted.

With Sean on my shoulders and his stick in my hand
I could tell it was the Jungle today just as I'd planned.
When out all around us, there arose a gentle chatter
T'was the birds talking to us as we were the matter.

Away to the top of the hill we were climbing
My family spotting bugs without even my priming.
Caterpillars and lantern bugs there were all about
Daddy looking closer for pictures no doubt.

When what to our exploring eye would come next
But a creek made for racing little sticks I expect.
So Sean was the quickest he won by a mile
That's how we tell it to get that great smile.

Back to the road we began to walk quickly.
the light it was dimming so footing was tricky
And giving a nod to the taxi in passing.
We sprang for our seats, cars behind us amassing.
But I heard Sean explain and yes he was right.
we are coming home now Mom, byebye Good night.
