Chinese Camp 2016

 4 days 4 language and 4 cultural lessons. Disney theme. We did puppet show for parents, kung fu, kite, art, science ball, ice crystal using borax.  It was fun but glad it was over.

English Town

Today we were reading a book with maps, and Wes was pointing to the Usa and asked "what is this place called?" I said it is america where we live.  He said oh "English town".....get it, he knows China town, so this place full of white people must be english town. LMAO.

Feeling excited

I start my summer job today. This is my third year teaching chinese camp to kids in utah county. This is through u of u community education and also I help train new chinese teachers for the state of utah. Feeling proud and excited!

I'll miss my own babies, but this way they can have some social time and miss me a little too.

Indian Freemont Camp

Took DaJun's family and Wang family to camp in central Utah. We had fun camping for one night and the kids had creek to play in. Little girl took off her shorts and underwear to sit in water.  We play with ballon, bubbles and hike a little bit. Day time was too hot! 96F at night was chilly 40's. It was short but fun road trip!

W said his favorite parts were roasting marshmellows, hiking and sleeping in the tent.

 2 hours from Springville. Easy car camping. Not a lot of people. Pretty castle rocks and studies freemont indian people whom are ancestors to piuate indians. Petroglyphs are chiseled rocks and pictographs are painted on rocks.

 Nice museum, even has a kid playing area where kids can dress up and re-lived the culture. Donate$2

 Pit house outside of museum. Neat to see how they really lived.

trails were all too hot to hike. Went home at 10am

A Story

Today I saw a really touching story about a father who reunites with his twins 40 years later. I was obviously distraught, red eyes and tears. And I ask him what he thought, he said "Mom can I have ice cream?" one track mind.

Iiving Planet Aqurium

Expensive but fun day at the Aquarium.

$30 admission for 3 ( Mom 17.95 and Wes 12.95, Ari free)

$6 photobooth

$3 Indoor playground

Potty Forward

Ari can ask to go potty and now can take off her own underwear and sit on the toilet, if she can get up there. We do 3 easy steps, pee, flush, wash.  Still accidents once or twice but moving forward. my girl is growning up. Now, one month and 3 weeks in to it.

Boise

 Sis left Cow pie in room. Left 10 dollar tip. All white towels became brown. Tub undrained and full of feces. Yikes! Potty training month 2.

 Trip to Zoo Boise. Good day trip. Small but just right.

Discovery Center $30 paid full price for girl. Idaho power birthday so got free cookies and cookbook.

Bottomline: too busy for us to move there next fall. Now like flagstaff better.

Funny kids

We were watching the movie back to the future of 1985 and Wes said wow, that is a big phone.

Sis was hiding in her room, and I open her door and she said mom I just fart.

It's fun to see from their eyes.

Happy 4th

Today Bry and I took the kids to Maple Canyon hike, it was nice and shaded. We did it for an hour and a half and had lunch at jimmy john. We leave for mini road trip to boise on Wed. While bryce has meetings, I will take the kids to zoo boise, art museum and more.  It will be fun change from norm.
