OK, I’ll start with this. Ammon and Clarissa were goofing around with a suitcase and we (my dad and I) got these great videos:
I also packed the container almost all day today. I and seemingly everyone else that sees it for the first time thinks there is no way we can fit all of ours and Georgia’s things into three of them…..but they can fit a deceptive amount of things, and I’m now thinking we will make it. I packed for a lot of Saturday and still was not even close to half done filling it. Then my dad and Jere came around 2:30 and helped me until 9:30 or so. Together we cranked out so much good work and go the thing 85% full. There help was so game changing. I had so much fun being with my dad and brother (and we enjoyed Via 313 pizza together), but the thing I’m most grateful for is the way they helped an underwater family member get more on top of the task at hand. Thank you again dad and Jere!
Lily, Lydia and Mary had another 24 hours or so in Hong Kong en route to the Philippines so they got to have more time there. They really love Hong Kong and Lily raved about their tea. They got to do a high tea experience and it was a wonderful experience for them. Apparently Hong Kong really knows how to do tea. Not only do they have incredible tea there, but they are very expert on how to seep, how to have the right size cups etc etc. Lily was raving about the whole tea experience.
Here are more photos from their time in Hong Kong:
