This year Khai is going to kindergarten at the same school as Xander. Khai had been looked forward to this day for a long time. He got up early and dressed himself without being asked. Both boys ate breakfast happily and we took them to school. We were there early, so they had a chance to chat with friends and talk to their teacher.
Pei-I wasn't used to have the quiet house all by herself. Xander and Khai were doing great at the first day of school, according to their teacher. Khai loved his school.
This summer we reached few goals: boys learned how to ride their bicycles, picked and canned a lot of fruit + vegetables inculding: 21 pounds of strawberry jam, 24 pounds of blueberry syrup, beans, peaches, tomato sauce, salsa and spaghetti sauce. Visited fire house and had BBQ chicken. Not too bad huh..
今年夏天開始我們列了一些想要在這暑假裡做到的事, 像是學會騎腳踏車, 做水果及疏菜罐頭...
Vegetables from our garden harvested by Khai 從菜園裡採的蔬菜.
Canning green beans. 做豆子罐頭.
Canning peaches. 做水蜜洮罐頭.
Doesn't the peaches look so yummy? 垂涎好吃的桃子罐頭.
Eating BBQ chicken at the fire station. 在消防隊局裡吃烤雞肉.
We have friends visited D.C. before, so we got many tips about where to visit and were very excited about D.C. It was very hard to find parkings at the D.C., so we took Metro, which was 5 minutes away from our camp site and 30 minutes ride to D.C. Kids were very excited about riding the METRO.
We packed lots of water bottles, snacks, hats, straw mats (to rest and nap) + tour books with us the 1st day, so our backpacks were very heavy (forget to pack the stroller with us). We walked to the Capital after getting out of the METRO. It was about 30 minutes walk and we've already tired by the time we arrived there. It was very hot and humid at the D.C. and the day before was only 60 degrees at our previous camp site, bit temperature difference. It's the capital in the front and the monument in the back.
