Images from Benjamin's First Birthday

A BBQ in the Park

On the 29rh of August ten of us got together to celebrate Ben's first birthday. It was a lovely day and we headed over to a park close to the university with the BBQ, beer and food. We all had a lovely afternoon, including Ben. I think many of the locals were surprised to see a bunch of foreigners all with Chinese partners invading their park and were very intrigued with our BBQ.

Here are many of the pictures taken that day.
