Hand in hand

 

   

Really enjoyed holding your hand and hiking with you for the past 2 hours, Tahlia.  We spent time drilling your English spelling and then talked about how we would prepare for our upcoming Western American hiking trip.  You shared information from your own resources about things that you learnt at school in a class where your teacher recounted his experience hiking up to Yu Mountain.  You reminded us that we should pack flashlights, gloves, a hat,  extra clothes and a camel water bag for our hike.  When I asked you what you planned to pack you listed: a parachute, sleeping bag, umbrella, both your cellphones, your canon camera, and your water bottle.  We hiked for 2 hours and 15 mins to test our endurance.  Tahlia, you walked with only an umbrella and a near empty paper bag,  you even left your backpack in the car but despite that you we’re already complaining about how tired you were before the end of the hike.

A stick insect

  

While living in Taipei we are so privileged that a visit to the mountains is within an hours drive.  We are able to observe some of natures wonderful creations in their natural setting.   Today we saw twig insects, cicadas and butterflies. 

Playdoh meals

    

After playing with playdoh for a couple of days, Keely began thinking “outside the box” and started using the materials creatively.  She started implementing things from our everyday life and expanded her ice-cream shop to include  a food delivery service.  She began creating items on her menu m

Special delivery

  
You are so cute Keely.  You walked up to me while I was working and held up a small box announcing that I had a special delivery. You even provided a receipt.  Inside the box were specially made macarons.  The flavors: green tea with red bean filling, blueberry, grape with strawberry filling and grape macaron.   Yum

Movie night

 

We are watching Indiana Jones tonight to catch glimpses of Arches National Park for our upcoming road trip of the American West coast National Parks.  

Goofy girls

  

The girls playing playdoh.  They have set up a temporary ice cream stand at our office and work on their dessert creations in playdoh whenever they take a break from studying.

A Lovely Breakfast

 
Your dad is ever so thoughtful and always prepares breakfast for me no matter how busy he is.  Feeling really pampered:)
