Poor Ellen, she usually is so busy on the weekend she never has time to just completely relax because of a heavy load of homework, and this is what happened when she did this past Saturday - her naptime was cut short, however, when the pounding began from the continuing renovation on the flat above us. . . at which point we all left the flat because it was so loud! It was a beautiful day, though, and we ended up having lunch with a group of friends at the Plaza.
Ellen's friend, Chloe, came all the way over from Hong Kong Island, (that's the way people think who live on Hong Kong Island) a mere three miles away, to have a sleepover. Her parents were a bit uncomfortable with her traveling all the way out here by herself, so Ellen took the ferry over and met her at the Central ferry pier and came right back with her. But it was worth it because they had a lot of fun and here Ellen is showing Chloe the DVD of her Farmingville Graduation, to show her what going to school in the United States is like. At one point in the video there's a picture of a yellow school bus and that was unique for Chloe to see, as was all those "blue-eyed" kids.
This is Chloe, Ellen and Alicia. Alicia is also a school chum of Ellen's who lives nearby and she attends our church. Ellen was very excited about Chloe spending the weekend with her because it was the first time she had ever attended church.
And last but not least, is a picture of Zoe in the skit her Sunday school class performed about Palm Sunday. Unfortunately, she was not able to completely memorize her lines, thus the "cheat sheet" she is holding. But she spoke very clearly and did a great job and everyone enjoyed the play.
