Looks like Mia has had one too many Mai Tais!!


Cantonese Delicacy?!



Tonight we had an organized group dinner at a local traditional Cantonese restaurant. I wish I could show you all the photos of the snakes, toads, sand worms and water bugs that were live and ready to eat... Suffice it to say that there are some unique eating habits in other countries. Our guide told us that two American fathers got into a competition several months back and one guy actually ate 25 Water Beetles!! I have to admit, it was a little enticing to try something new... The attached picture is of a deep fried pigeon head. Kenny & I ate the body! Pigeon was about as far as I was willing to go. Especially since one of the other fathers sat back making perfect pigeon cooing impersonations throughout our meal...

Our Asian Princess...



Mommy has decided that it's necessary to buy many traditional silk dresses for our little Mia. So today it only made sense to have a little fashion show. Mia was a great sport considering she didn't have much of a nap today. As you can tell by her expression, this experience wasn't too painful... In fact, this has become the typical Mia expression! Lucky Mommy & Daddy!!

This picture was just too cute not to share!


Mia's First Swim!



We decided a lazy Saturday afternoon swim was in order for our little Mia... Seeing her in her little tutu style bathing suit was almost too much to bear! So we did the only logical thing and took about 100 photos of her in her swim suit before we even left the hotel room!! Mia was definitely tentative when we first climbed into the water. Her only experience with water has been her baths, and you all know how well that's gone... But after about 15 minutes of easing her in, she quickly decided she loved splashing water in Mommy & Daddy's faces. In fact, she got so comfortable that, as you can see in the photo, she tried taking her afternoon nap lounged out on Daddy's lap in the kitty pool...
