With the Olympics in full swing and Daddy checking his iphone every 5 minutes for score updates on Team Canada could there be a better time to learn to skate? Well Sean and Daddy headed off on another adventure this morning to find the roller blade store in Hong Kong! Its not like driving over to SportCheck here. There is only one place in Hong Kong to buy roller blades and its in Tin Hau a place we rarely go. So we headed out to find some "treasure"! (roller blades). We took a bus and a trolley bus and we walked so just three forms of transport and it was really easy to find. The man there was very helpful and we learned a lot about rollerblading in China. This shop is the only distributer to China. Almost all rollerblades are made in China but essentially all roller blades used in China come through this shop!

Anyway, found a great pair ("with lots of fancy stuff on them") tried them on and bought them. They are extendable and have four different lengths, and a buckle, a velcro strap and laces. So we bought them. We got some noodles for lunch, that is me, Sean, lightning mcqueen and Boost did (cars from CARS) got some lunch, then we took a taxi home.

NAP time...

Waking up from nap is one cheery little boy, who "watched somethin" on the DVD and then headed out to the garage with Dad to rollerblade. Well Dad held his hand and got him rolling around and pushing with his feet and well the video speaks for itself. That was after about 15 minutes! He kept skating with Chloe his baby sitter after Mom & Dad headed out for DateNight, smiling all the time...

Can't wait to here how it went in the morning!

  2. It's been eleven days or so since the last blog & I think I need a "fix" pretty soon. The descriptions of your activities are great but I really enjoy the photos & video clips...especially when missing Seans's grin. So, now that the Olympics are over, Chris, can you fit one in between trips?

    Love,
