Tyler's Rocky Point Orchard

Kaeden loves cherries and sooooo when he heard that they are ready for picking this season, he kept bugging us to bring him there!

And so we were finally here on a hot hot Saturday afternoon with Cherries, Plum & Apricot waiting for us...

Learning from last year's 'sour' experience, we decided to sample the cherry first before plucking them from each tree... just in case! 

  

Thankfully, this year's crops are all sweet and juicy. We had a good time picking them to our hearts content :)

Bruneau Dunes State Park

23 June 2012

I have been talking about 'must-visit' the Bruneau Sand Dunes since last summer, but according to my dear hubby, this 'talk' will never materialized as making a trip there would probably be the last thing on my to-do list every weekend... and so... the guys planned a BBQ cum camping trip last weekend! *oops, no escape*

The state park was way beyond my expectations! Clean... well-maintained and most importantly, weather was good that day :)

We sat around and chit-chat, celebrated Joan's birthday... played frisbee... monopoly... it sure felt like those good old days back in school!

After dinner, we drove up to the sand dunes and the guys + some of our heroines succeeded in the attempt to conquer it!

Happy Father's Day

17 June 2012

We celebrated Father's Day at home with dinner jointly prepared by both of us. 

Mushroom Steak... Cheese Lobster... Soft Shell Crab! *yumilicious*

Though we didn't do anything special for the night but it was definitely a good time just chilling out together in our backyard :)

Happy Father's Day!

You will always be our son's first hero and our daughter's first love :)

G.O.L.F

We signed Kaeden up for golf classes seeing that he has shown interest in the sport. He came home all excited after his 1st lesson this morning. Heehee... don't he look dashing in his outfit?

Off to a Magical Zoo!

30 May 2012

After being under extreme hot weather for the past week, I was kind of dreading the visit to the Disney's Animal Kingdom...

From the name, the place seems just like any other zoo, probably with some 'magical' touch added to it. Heehee... but I am glad we made the trip. Its FUN!

We had an awesome experience with the Kilimanjaro Safari Expedition... where we trekked through the Harambe Wildlife Reserve on board a rugged open-sided safari vehicle...

Kaeden also had an enriching day with the activities conducted by the Kid's Discovery Club outposts located throughout the theme park. Through all the hands-on experiences, the children were able to explore and discover nature's wonders in a fun way :)

She got it?

I have started to potty train Ash few days back and she enjoys going potty!

Whenever I asked her if she wanna go shh...shh, she will always reply me with a 'yeah' but so far, she only managed to pee 3 out of the so many times!

Today, she called out to me twice... both times, she was furiously tugging at her diaper and sooooo... we rushed off to the toilet.

Guess what? She REALLY pee-ed!!!

Heehee 八字终于有一丿了!

The land of Lego!

28 May 2012

Legoland is a dream come true for all kids who love Lego...  adults as well, cause Walker & I simply love it :)

We had a great time at the park as it wasn't as crowded as those in Orlando. Heehee... that means shorter waiting time for us and more round on the rides for the boys!

Not to forget... my favorite Granny's Apple Fries! Yumilicious....

Kaeden had his first driving experience at the Ford Driving School where he got behind the wheel of an electric car made of Lego and drove off on his own! 1st attempt... and I have to say, he did really well! *proud*

Its a pity that almost all their rides have minimum height requirements that Ash failed to meet. Nonetheless, she was still a happy girl being pushed around in her stroller and meeting her Lego's "friends".

Star Wars Weekend @ Hollywood Studios

27 May 2012

Such a coincident that the annual Star Wars Weekend 2012 at Disney's Hollywood Studios was held over the weekend while we were there!

Everywhere, we got to see Jedi/Jedi wannabe roaming around the park. Kind of fun to see all the Star Wars characters appearing live in front of us! Heehee... made us felt as though we were part of the movie too!

And of course... Star Wars aside, there were many other interesting attractions/Disney's characters in the park too!

Such as......

Well... one thing for sure, Kaeden has gotten very helpful now that he is older. He managed to look through the entire map, spotted all the meet-and-greets locations and brought us all the way there to get their autographs!

Kennedy Space Center

26 May 2012

The talk about visiting the Kennedy Space Center has been on going for as long as I can remember and I am so glad we were able to fulfill Mr Cheng's dream during our stint in the US.

See his happy face?

We took the KSC bus tour which brought us to almost all the to-visit places in the center...

...Apollo/Saturn V Center where we experienced the historic Apollo 8 launch and got up close to the massive 363-foot-long Saturn V Moon Rocket...

... LC-39 Observation Gantry to catch a panoramic view of the space shuttle launch pads...

Its an enriching day spent here at the Space Center. Everything about this place is just so amazing! After this visit, we now have a better understanding of how space exploration has pushed mankind to the next frontier!

One of those good days

It has always been a challenge getting Ash to eat more yet today, she managed to finish a decent portion of food with ease just by having Kaeden around :)

US-style Pasar Malam

We were excited to see a carnival here and couldn't wait to check it out over the weekend.

Heehee... turned out to be not that fantastic lah though the kids still enjoyed it.
