Our Day on Lantau Island







Hi Everyone,
We ventured out today. We took the Tung Chung MTR (like the T at home) to Disneyland Hong Kong. We saw a parade where everyone gets wet. Boy, did that feel good in the heat! We walked down Main street USA and felt closer to home. We had dinner in the Royal Castle. It is the castle from Beauty and the Beast. The kids had pizza in the shape of Mickey and Dennis and I had cheeseburgers!
After dinner, we walked around in Fantasyland. All four of us went on the Winnie the Pooh ride. Colin seemed a little scared at first, but really enjoyed it. Tatum held onto Daddy's neck. Next, we went over to Small World. The outside was like a wild castle. We all sat in one row for this one. Colin was mesmerized by all there was to see. Tatum got excited and clapped her hands! They were both so cute. They each got a t-shirt to commemorate the occasion...our first family of four outing!
Disneyland Hong Kong is much smaller than at home, but it is just as clean and well kept. It was the perfect ending for our journey.
We are so looking forward to coming home tomorrow! It will be so nice to see friendly faces and familiar sights. We miss our family and friends! Dunkin' Donuts must have seen it's stock go down while we were away. We'll remedy that quickly!
See you all tomorrow. We look forward to you meeting our little Tatum...she's a trip!

Such great photos Deb--Looking forward to seeing more when you get home! It sounds like the first family of four outing was a complete success. I have been sharing your blog with some of my friends and coworkers, and we have all been following your journey with baited breath. I love the photo of you and Tatum--She has come so far this week!

Looking forward to seeing you all when you get home! Safe travels, and enjoy the Dunkin' Donuts!! ;-)

Love,
Kelli

What a great picture of you holding Tatum! and she has a great big smile on her face too. I can't wait to meet her, but I must admit that I will miss your daily blogs.
Have a safe (and uneventful) flight and we will see you soon.

Deb and Dennis -- What a wonderful journey to complete the family. It has been wonderful reading and seeing how Tatum has adapted to mommy, daddy and big brother. Have a safe journey home and am anxiously looking forward to seeing everyone when you are back home.
