Kaiya and Sienna slept over this past weekend. The kids had fun swimming together. Sienna started to jump off the diving board for the first time! On Saturday we went to the Monterey Bay Aquarium. It was pretty crowded, probably because the weather was so nice!

After spending 3 weeks in LA, the kids are finally going home. Nat is excited to go home, but Tyler wanted to stay. Maybe next year we’ll plan to have them stay longer.

Uncle Wen took the kids to the movies earlier in the week. They pretty much had the theater to themselves.

Fun at Uncle Steven’s with the cousins

Saying Bye to PoPo and Gong Gong this morning.

For lunch today, we went to Dumpling House in Arcadia. We’ve been here before many times, they have great dumplings! After lunch, Tyler started to complain about his face being itchy and his ears hurting. I told him not to itch it and to just drink water. On our way home, his eyes puffed up so much we had to stop at the drugstore to get Benadryl. He looked and felt very uncomfortable! We decided to take him to urgent care just in case. We aren’t sure what caused this reaction, but we suspect maybe it was peanut oil used in cooking some of the food. Luckily he’s ok.

It’s Tuesday evening, time to take out the trash for Wednesday. Gong Gong always cleans up the yard and sweeps on Mondays. Tyler did a good job helping him out today. At least it was a break from the iPad…

Today’s my birthday and since the kids are away, they made me these cards and mailed them to me. I got them today.

The kids are spending a couple weeks in LA at “grandparents camp” without David and I. Uncle Wen kicked off the fun by taking them to Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach. They enjoyed touching all the sea life. Tyler said it’s the “best aquarium ever!”
