In spite my best efforts to keep it from happening, I am the official mother of a teenager. Ellen (very happily so) turned the big 1-3 on September 1. And, no, she did not receive a helicopter ride as a gift, but rather she received a helicopter ride as a prize for being part of a winning team in a scavenger hunt a few months ago here in Discovery Bay. The ride was scheduled before school ended this past June, but due to bad weather it was canceled, then everyone went their separate ways for the summer, and today was the day!
Ellen and her three friends, Alicia, Chloe and Olivia had an unforgettable ride over Hong Kong with the highlight of flying over their school, West Island.
The birthday girls. Ellen's birthday is September 1, while mine is September 4. Here we are at the Conrad in Hong Kong where I took Ellen and three friends for High Tea as part of her birthday gift.
Ellen's birthday crew in the backseat of the taxi: Yvonne, Kelcie and Kim
This is one of the reasons we chose this location for High Tea, a delicious buffet.
Although this is High "Tea," Ellen and her friends enjoyed a tall glass of iced cocoa - yummy!
