Walking with the Extended Family

It was Uncle Amitha and Aunty Bess's last night in Taiwan before going back to freezing New York State. So, the extended family decided to have a get-together at TGI Fridays but the first picture was just Craig and his parents.


Craig's Aunty Suprana and his cousin Soit-Jade were also in attendance.


As soon as he had finished eating Craig performed a safety check on a nearby fire extinguisher.


It was a very throrough check.


When dessert arrived, all the adults showed plenty of interest.


But only Aunty Bess didn't look up when Craig's Dad asked them to look at the camera for a picture. She was too busy with the dessert.


After the first dessert was shared out equally.......


A second dessert arrived and Aunty Bess was first to get at that one too!!!


After all that food, and especially dessert, most of the extended family went for a walk. It was a cold evening and Craig and his Dad often walk through the MRT station on cold days. So, Craig led the way towards the station.


It's a shame there aren't more pictures of this walk because Craig had a really good time. While Uncle Amitha held his hand, Craig yodelled away as he walked and enjoyed himself all out of proportion to the fun being had by others but perception is everything and the perceptions of a one-year-old are hard for we older folk to understand.
