Watermania, Picnic and Visit Sharon

I promised Ava that I'll take her swimming, so we went at 10am. On our way in, I saw a sign saying "wave pool cooler than usual" (uh oh!!). So, the kids were of course very excited. We changed and walked into the wave pool. IT WAS FREAKIN FREEZING!!! I was so cold, but Ava and Colin seemed to have a different temperature tolerant than Simon and I. They just jumped right in, while us old folks were trembling and tried to stay as dry as possible. Simon then cheated and walked over to the hot tub (I hate him!!). I was left there with 2 kids in the freezing cold water. Simon then tried to lure the kids into the hottub, but first thing they said when they touched the water was "HOT HOT HOT, IT'S TOO HOT".. (WHAT??? Are you guys crazy??? )

Anyways, his attempt in luring them was a failure. I stayed in the water as long as I can, and I guessed Simon felt bad for me, so he got off the hot tub and was going to join us, but he was too coward (and of course coming from the hot tub, the water in the wave pool seemed even colder).

So I took the opportunity when he was lingering at the outside of the wave pool to jump into the hot tub. It was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo nice!!
But then, I felt kinda guilty because Ava wanted to play in the water but her dad refused to go in. So I climbed out of the hot tub and immersed myself (seriously!! I should get a medal) into the freakin cold water. Then the wave came on, so I pushed Ava to the middle and she was having fun. But it was definitely too cold to stay in too long, so we managed to persuade the kids to leave the pool.


After pool, we went to Garry Point Park to meet up with the gang for picnic. When we got there, it was so windy that we're kinda in a dilemma if we should continue on or call it off. At last, the sun took pity on us and our car full of food. It shined on us. We got to continue on with picnic and the kids had a blast!! They were buiding sand castle, chasing each other, building some kind of fort (with Edwin's help). The parents of course, just hanged out, and played frisbee and ate!!

After picnic, we decided to drop by Sharon's house to see Isabelle (and Sharon.. ooppss!!).
Then, dinner at Sunway and we parted ways back home. What a great day!!

Easter Egg Hunt

We're invited to Christy's house for an easter egg hunt party. Ava and Colin were both ready for the action. I got them 2 small bags so they can put their eggs in. We arrived around 10am at Christy's house. The hunt started after all the guests arrived.

The kids were waiting impatiently in front of the door while looking at all the colorful eggs that were scattered throughout the backyard. Good Job Eric!!
Once the door's opened, hell was let loose. The kids were outside picking up the eggs. Ava and Colin filled theirs pretty soon and Ava was asking for a bigger bag. (Oooppss!!)

Great party Christy!!

Welcome Isabelle!!

Sharon gave birth on the 25th of March at early early morning. The Cheungs welcome Isabelle into the family. Elisa, Serene, Carolyn and I decided to pay a visit to Sharon at the hospital on the 26th. Imagine these parades of strollers and kids to Richmond General Hospital. It was surprising they let us all passed and into the room. :)

Sharon looked good and Isabelle was just beautiful. She was small but very alert. What a sweet healthy baby.

Congrats Sharon, Stephen and Annabelle with the new addition to your family.

Driving to Port Moody

Since it's Ava's spring break, I decided to drive to Port Moody for the first time ever.. HAHAHA
Elisa has invited us to go to her house for playdate and lunch. I managed to drag HL and Jenny with me since I do need a navigator.

So, loaded up the kids and the sis in law and off we went.
The weather was beautiful. The kids were playing inside and then after lunch we all went outside. Elisa was clicking away with her camera and of course I was clicking away in my high heels.. HAHAHAHA..

We stayed till 3-ish and then went back home. It was a success!!!!

P.S. I should be able to drive to Port Moody by myself now.. i hope.. if i don't forget the route.. ;p

Carnival @ Lansdown Mall Parking Lot

I decided to take Ava to the carnival since she's in her spring break. I asked wei to come with us. It was quite a nice day for outing. She was so excited to go to the carnival especially when I mentioned Merry go round. I went in a couple of rides with her and man oh man, I was feeling old. The first ride definitely got me. I was dizzy by them time we're done. Same as the last ride, even Ava felt dizzy afterwards. She was wobbly and kept telling me she's dizzy.

We went into the mall after the carnival and got something to eat. It was fun to go with Ava and Wei to the carnival.

Hanging out at home

The kids are having fun painting and posing and then playing..
Ava said she's painting rainbow flowers and Colin said he's painting mountain.
What a life!!

Korean Night

It's that time again. This time we're doing Korean cuisine. I did Kimchi Jigae soup, Korean kimchi pancake and marinated Beef Bulgogi. Turned out Patrick did the same Kimchi soup. He also did kim chi fried rice and Sharon did some seafood medley dish.

It was really good. I think I got hooked on that kimchi soup. It was delicious. We didn't get any Korean drink this time, but Sharon brought some plum tea.

It's another successful night with great companies.

Winter Olympic 2010 Experiences

We went twice to downtown during the Olympic. Once with the kids and the other time just ourselves. It was fun. We soaked in the spirit of the Olympics and were just having fun and laughing with everyone.

"O" House

We celebrated Olympic in style. Welcome to our Ohouse celebration. It was basically an open house from 10am to 8pm. Friends are coming in and out during these times. It was great fun.

Brazillian Night

We did a Brazillian night today. Since it was a while ago, I forgot what we did, but here're some pictures to refresh. We also had extra guests. The Fongs joined us.
