Boating and First Hair Cut

We had a new adventure yesterday on The Oriental Dream, a 40 foot wooden junk boat (the only one in Singapore) built in Hong Kong in 1978. One of our friends organized the journey which took us out on the strait between Singapore and Malaysia. We were on the boat for 7 hours but it went by so quickly we couldn't believe it was time to head back to shore. Adam and a few others jumped in the water (from the top of the boat) and took a swim to the nearby island. Little did they know it would take them more than twice as long to swim back to the boat with the current working against them, but they still had a blast.



A speed boat also accompanied the large boat and groups took turns having a try at wake boarding. We'll have to head out on the water and try that again. Bella even came along and loved all the attention. All in all it was a relaxing afternoon with great company and food.


Little Miss Bella was in desperate need for her first hair cut, especially after her first ride on the high seas. She's 4 months old now and about twice the size she was when we got her, which is still tiny but she seems big to us now. She's a getting to be a snuggle bug but still wants to chew on everything. She is learning her manners though:





Yes, we're obsessed with our little furkid. Here's some new pictures of her pre and post grooming.http://picasaweb.google.com/kateandadam09/OurNewestFamilyMemberBella?feat=directlink
