Lo Hei - Gong Xi Fa Chai

 Here we are getting ready for the traditional Lo Hei (Low Hay).  Singapore Chinese new year tradition. 

 You have to put the ingredients on in a certain symbolic order

Then everyone takes their chopsticks and mixes the food by throwing it in the air

Here you go - the experience in action

Tree Top Walk

 Here we are at Hoyt Park ready to start our Tree top walk

 this was on the ramp up

 They had this cool wavy bridge at one point

 Stopping for some fun photos

 Most of the way was this metal walkway. Here's a good view of some residential housing, and a cute woman.

 The wavy bridge was a lot of fun for the kids

 Look, the Bell of Happiness. Who knew happiness was obtained so easily!

After we rang the bell, our family never experienced non-happiness again.

Surfing Safari - Bali

 We decided to take a once in a lifetime (thus far) opportunity and learn how to surf in Bali.

 First they told us you have to do 1000 push ups on your board just to be worthy to ride the waves.

 After we finished that, they then broke the next bit of news.

 You have to surf on land to our satisfaction before we let you sniff the water.

 Suzy just looked good enough they gave her a pass even though she was just standing there.

 Faith was a natural

 Kate had it going on.

 Papa did not have proper Beach shoes, and was not allowed to surf. He took matters into his own hands.

 There were some spectacular falls.

 A few hard landings.

 Then, one by one

 Folks found their groove.

 Suzy, waiving off the applause as the whole beach was amazed at her prowess

She made it look so easy I decided to stop trying.  I figured, if it was so easy, I probably should stop attempt after attempt since it would make the instructors feel bad.  You'll notice there are not pictures of me up on a surf board.

A bunch of random pictures
