First gardening experience

This summer our friend Ian and Jen gave us several plants (tomatoes, cilantro, pepper and thyme). Some of them grew bigger and some of them died or got eaten. When my parents came my dad made a gardening box and moved the plants in the box and bigger pots.

Dad also built a temporary deck and put the plants there. I moved them to the sunnier area but deers came and ate some of it😔.

Ellie helped watering the plant. We both had a lot of fun taking care of the plant! No fruit yet.. Hopefully we will get something before it gets cold.

This is the cactus rian and I brought back  4 years ago from HK 長洲. It was the size of a penny when we brought it back.  It is amazing to see it stays alive in the gloomy Seattle weather. (Very long and skinny due to the lack of sun).

Maui adventure

I

We are on a vacation in Maui. This is the 3rd time to Hawaii since Ellie was born. I love Hawaii, it's warm and sunny weather and beautiful beaches. 

This time around we are here with 公公grandpa, 婆婆grandma, auntie eve, uncle Wallace, iris and Tristan. We got 2 vacation rental in the same complex with ocean view. 

The trip has been quite relaxing so far. We all got some sunburn but enjoying the family time. Especially Ellie, she has been following iris everywhere.

Ellie was scared of the ocean so we built a little baby pool for her. She had fun splashing water.

It was Tristan's birthday. He got a birthday present that can connect to vegetables and play piano. Pretty funny!

Another family picture by the beach sunset time. The beach gets really windy every afternoon.

Got to spend sometime with grandma. Grandma gave her candy and she loves it. And she learned to say 婆婆俾。
