Fun in Seattle

Playing with boxes is fun but...

...playing at Chuck E. Cheese is more fun!
Being trapped in this cage was not fun...
Go Cashew go! Jump, jump, jump!
Off-roading! Buckle up your seatbelts!

Whoa! Hold on tight!

Now this is a much safer way to travel. All aboard! Time to go home.

Girls Road trip

Mommy and I went to Seattle for some fun with the Cashew family.

Kid's Quest once again! Cashew and I try to uncover some fossils on these rocks with wet paintbrushes. Hmm...didn't work but it sure was fun.

Being a scientist can be hard work.

Okay, Mei-mei, get ready to catch this...I'm going to shoot a scarf through this air system.
Mei-mei is ready to make the catch!

Year of the Ox

It's a special time to get together and celebrate Taiwanese traditions.
First, we graciously receive some red pockets which will be put to good use.

Then, it's time for a feast! I get first dibs on this delicacy!

Here are our special guests, mommy's Uncle and cousin J. Food is always yummier in good company.

Looks like daddy approves of the food.

Thanks for a wonderful dinner A-Ma!

Pumpkin Cake!!

Welcome to the Sushi Cooking Channel. Today we are making a fresh pumpkin cake. After you've chopped, steamed and mashed the pumpkin, follow the recipie and mix mix mix...

then, mix mix mix some more. When you've had enough fun mixing, then pour it into a square pan.


While the cake is baking, it's time to do the dishes and clean up the mess I made.

..and after baking in the oven, yeah, the cake is ready. TV magic. Enjoy!!

Skating!!

Yeah, I get to try real skating. No more sock skating on hardwood floor.

It's kind of slippery... hold on to me tight, dad.
oh, oh... going down.

Okay, skating is not as easy as it seems.

Perhaps I should start with the walker first.

Daddy is my turbo boost.

Oops, down again.

It would have been more fun if I could stay on my skates longer. I think I prefer the sock skating at home for now.

Thank you Uncle Chow Mein for visiting and letting me play with your iphone.

Mail from Santa

"I got a letter from Santa. I do not think he really exists."

"Well, who cares, I like getting letters."

"Time to get back to the snow!!!"

"Yeah... daddy moved the fun of toboganning right in front of our house."

Poor Wasabi had to clean up after us.

Igloo Building 101

First, put up the walls

Second, position sticks for the roofline and load up the snow bricks.

Third, put some water to "seal" the igloo.

Yeah, a winter playhouse for Wasabi.

"Okay," says Ah-ma,"my turn now."

BTW, Wasabi loves tobogganing. Can't you tell?

Thrill Seeker

"ah... another quiet Saturday morning. What should I do?"

"I have an idea... Let's go outside.."

"...and find the biggest hill..."

"..ready or not, here I come..."

what is this white stuff?

"Who said people who live in the lower mainland don't know snow?"

"This is called a snow ball."

"and yes, it's coming right at you!!"

"just having some good old Canadian winter fun : ) "
