Hong Kong – Day 2 – Great-Grandma

Uncategorized Add comments

     After sleeping from 12mn to 5am, most of us had enough sleep. We stayed in bed until 6am, then we got up and had a small breakfast in our room. After some relaxing time, we walked around the big mall again and tried some Chinese breakfast. The boys loved the "fried bread". Later we rode the subway (MTR) to meet up with my second uncle to head over to see Great Grandma. The boys enjoyed the cool train ride and learned to read the map. When we arrived at Great Grandma’s little apartment, she was sitting on her bed and was happy to see us. She looked great and looked similar to how she was 2 years ago when I saw her. The boys greeted her with her Chinese title and she gave us all red envelopes. I chatted with her briefly while she asked about the boys’ ages a few times as she was forgetful. The boys also checked out Great Grandma’s 30+ years old turtle and were fascinated by it. I was very happy to see my Grandma and see how stable she looked. After taking some pictures with her, we left to allow her to rest. The plan was to meet up with my auntie, cousin June and her daughter Ching Ching for dim sum lunch in the mall underneath and head up to their condo for a visit. During the walk, Connor was very content holding hands with Uncle and received some compliments from him. It has been over 10 years since I came to their condo, so it was good to be back. We chatted for a bit while the boys watched TV. Then it was time for us to go back to the hotel for a late nap. Both boys claimed that they were not tired but they ended up sleeping close to 2 hrs and we had hard time waking them up. We had the evening to ourselves, and the boys wanted to have pizza for dinner. We eventually went down to the mall and waited for a table. By the time we were seated, Logan was so tired that he put his head down and fell asleep. After the power nap, Logan, and actually Connor too, did not eat much. When dinner was over, we all were quite exhausted. We walked a little more to buy some groceries, then we returned to the room for another late night. The boys wanted to share a bed for the night and we quickly fell asleep after 11pm.
