Folk Village

Yesterday we went out to the Taiwan Folk Village close to Huatan.. When I was first here it opened and was a combination of an amusement park and a folk village introducing a person to the way life used to be in Taiwan.Ciro and I went out there not long after we got here and it was pretty delapidated. We thought we would go and see if they had done anything new with it. Well fans of Gibli's "Spirited away" would feel as though they were transported into the movie. It is even more run down now...although there was still a bus tour there (they did not look that happy about it) There was also a film crew there using the old authentic houses for a set. Apparently there is a show on at the moment too with performances twice a day so there are still a few stores open.. oh and let us not forget the parking lot which has been converted into a racetrack for screeching joy riders...but for the most part it is completely run down...great place to take pictures though and Dylan had a great time running around the place.And Maya well she slept... we were going to stop by Karen and Hogie's to see new baby Jevin...it turned out to be a real quick stop..D fell asleep in the car after all the running...what a cute little guy Jevin is with the most gorgeous hair!!! Somehow i didn't take a pic:((


The broken down little kiosk for buying tickets(yes you still have to buy a ticket)..but there is still something going on here...a magic show of sorts..no amount of magic is going to fix this place.


The race track in the parking lot.



The grand entrance.
Water buffalo??? extras on the film set.





Maya slept through everything..

A fish got so excited about being fed it nearly jumped right out of the pond and splashed Dylan.

The old log ride..Ciro went on that last time we were there...at that time it was the only ride still working.





Dylan loves collecting pebbles..in fact they usually end up in my bag..we manage to dump this one before that happened.










D really loved this stone horse.
And here are some of the young lady this morning. The pink teddy is the same one from pics in the hospital

I went back to work yesterday :((( so they are both going to daycare/school from 1:30-5:30. She did okay yesterday her communication book said "Maya was very fine , she sleep along time". Will do more blogging when i have a bit more time...we are all adjusting to the work routine at the moment.

Tummy troubles

It was a crazy day Sunday. We were up at 2am with Dylan throwing up. Maya woke and didn't settle till 5pm when Dylan woke again feeling very uncomfortable. He got a fever in the morning and then another in the afternoon...it wouldn't go down and he was screaming with pain so rushed him to doc and apparently there is a kind of gastric flu about. He was much better in the evening until he fell asleep then started throwing up again. Itis now Monday afternoon and he is doing much better...yay!!
On a nicer note it was a lovely Spring day on Saturday..we went to the Science Museum park in hopes of tiring Dylan out for a nice naptime...that did not happen:)))...pics below.
Above is Dylan before his haircut and below is after..





Maya in her first little jeans..thanks Jen.
Daddy's little girl...


D is warming up to the idea of a bike.
