The first day of school in our second year in Hong Kong is looking a lot like the first day of school last year...postponed! Once again it is typhoon season. While there was no typhoon today, there was a Red Rain Warning issued just long enough this morning to cancel what was supposed to be Grace's first day of school. Of course it wasn't issued until after I checked the website and then woke her up at 6:30:) She was happy at first, and then disappointed that she was missing the freshmen orientation. The disappointment turned to happiness again later in the day when PJ very excitedly said, "No school for me tomorrow! Grace, you have your orientation."
Instead of sitting around and playing cards this year, the girls and I walked through the rain to get their school supplies. We managed to keep the supplies dry while completely soaking ourselves. PJ and friends put on bathing suits and went down to the field to toss around the frisbee. They really wanted to locate a tarp and make a slip and slide, but apparently those didn't make the move from Pennsylvania.
The rain is due to slow down tomorrow and be gone by Friday. It looks like it will be a very hot and steamy weekend. At least we will have a chance to clear the "wet dog" smell out of the house!
