Bet You Can’t Hold In a Laugh

 

你沒笑, 算我輸!

en’s Catalina Island Marine Biology Trip

2025.10.20 - 10.24 Sixth Grade Marine Biology Program, Catalina Island, California

At the end of en’s 5th grade school year, all the 5th graders in the school district received a flyer about the Catalina Island Marine Biology trip. Their 5th grade teachers would select students from their site to participate in this 5-day-4-night trip. 

Proud Moments 2025

The most proud: 

Despite the usual squabbling and teasing among the siblings, they remain a strong bonding to each other. 

A Date with the Girls at Squishmallows Cafe

偶然發現了這家以 Squishmallows 為主題的 pop-up 快閃餐廳 Squishmallows Surf Club;所謂快閃餐廳,是短期(3~4個月)以特色主題搶入新鮮感,退燒後再換另一個主題的營運模式;我的兩個小可愛身為Squishmallows的小迷妹,我一看到就想帶她們來!

Feel the Goo and Slime It Up

 

這一兩年,我們女生團(媽媽+樂姊+小愛)熱衷上這黏糊糊的玩意: SLIME

Seize the End of Summer

We took off for Banff, Canada at the beginning of the summer. When we returned home, it felt that there were still a lot to do:

Adventures in Nature’s Masterpiece

2025.06.10 Columbia Icefield Adventure & Skywalk

這一天我把媽媽留在了民宿 Airbnb,一來讓她稍作休息,二來安排前往的地方是不適合輪椅行動的哥倫比亞大冰原 Columbia Icefield area and the Athabasca Glacier,其規模僅次於北極圈

Banff, the Soul of the Rockies

2025.06.06-07 Banff, Alberta, Canada

Charles and the kids arrived two days early before meeting with me and my mom. They took a leisurely walk to Cascade Gardens, Banff Park Museum National Historic Site, Banff Central Park, and Cave & Basin National Historic Site:

Take a Ride with Rocky Mountaineer

2025.06.05-06.08 First Passage to the West Classic Banff, Rocky Mountaineer: Vancouver → Kamloops, British Columbia → Banff, Alberta Canada 

時間來到六月初,這可是目前我策畫過最複雜的旅程;這項旅行的終極目的是為了在母親80大壽以前帶她出國走走! 是要圖個便利就近日本? 還是到經濟實惠的東南亞逛逛? 到了母親這個年紀,沒有什麼條件比真正想去地方的要來得心動,於是我們把目光放到離台灣有些距離的加拿大洛磯山脈!

Addition Progress Report II

很快在2025來臨之際,外包的外殼工程總算是大功告成:

Addition Progress Report I

一直想補上加蓋的進度(加蓋工程第一篇),一拖都是今年補去年的事了,變成重新要找齊照片對時間又是一大耗時,只能說懶人有懶人的步調...

Out and About | Planes of Fame

因著之前 Pinnacles National Park 的露營計畫,重新連絡上了好久不見的老友,他是我們家的御用攝影師(笑~) Underwater Photoshoot, Our Wedding, Maternity Photoshoot, New Born Baby en, Family Photos… 等都出自他之手!

Disney Cruise | Sea Day

The last day on the cruise was a casual sea day. It seemed to be more of a relaxing day yet it was still full of things-to-do. I got to do a quick window shopping at Diamonds and Wishes, Mickey’s Mainsail, and Sea Treasure. I was proud that I resisted the urge to purchase impulsively and returned the cabin empty-handed :D
