4/2/11: Carter's First Time Driving
Self powered car - no gasoline or electric engine for this kid ... yet.
Carter found it a bit hard to steer holding his constant companions (sippy cup & treat bowl) until he located the trunk. If you look closely you can see them in the trunk.
Carter continues to show he is all boy and a true 2 year old. He headed right for the street and returns there when you turn your back.
April has been out of sorts all day. Bennett is loving the big brother role but April is a bit put out by all the attention and focus on Carter. Our friend Jay pegged April with this observation before we left for China - "Hi. But enough about you, let's talk about me." Despite not being the center of attention, our princess has been managing to get by and still have a good time.

4/1/11 - Murphy, Salad, & Swings
Murphy celebrated everyone being home by taking a nap during the day.
Despite LOVING cucumbers and tomatoes, Carter did find the first food item we provided that was not awesome. Evidently iceberg lettuce is just "okay".
Taking a break from bonking us on the head with his sippy cup when it needed refilling, bonking us on the head with his treat bowl when it ran out of Cheerios, and handing us his bib to indicate it was feeding time again, Carter joined us for his first trip to our local park around the corner. Note Carter did bring his sippy cup (pacifier) and treat bowl to the park and held on to them for the whole trip.

Rewind - 3/22/11 Pictures: Lunch w/Ann
In the middle of our shopping expedition on 3/22/11 with Ann, she asked if we would mind taking a break for lunch. We eagerly accepted and soon enjoyed a great lunch of Dim Sum in a place we would never have attempted (or found) without Ann.
Rewind - 3/25/11 Pictures: Hotel Picnic
The kids had a blast playing in the hotel playground after we got back from our tour of HKG. We passed on a formal dinner and just let them play along with an impromptu picnic of muffins, chips, and the rest of our room snacks.
In order to make sure the kids had enough to eat, Mommy and Daddy had some beverages instead of eating. Everyone had a nice relaxing time on their last day before the long flight home. Mommy and Daddy would have made a different meal choice if they only knew that (1) they would not get a chance to eat breakfast at the airport in the morning and (2) how bad the food on the long flight the next day would be. Yes, we would all manage to get upset stomachs on the last day of our trip after staying healthy until then.
Skipping dinner seemed like a good idea at the time since the kids were cooked and it would have been a disaster in the making to attempt a restaurant.
Lisa enjoyed the beer since it reminded her of what Mark did on our last trip to China. I went to the corner store from the hotel to buy some beer, water, and snacks for the room one night. I returned and said I could not find the SNOW brand beer we liked and had bought some other brand I had never heard of instead. Yes, I did tell Lisa I bought MONS beer. Picture the can turned upside down. :-)
