Pogo maniac!

Vivian found a brand new Pogo stick at a local yard sale last week for $4. She spent a few minutes every afternoon teaching herself how to ride it... Within a week, she has mastered it, now she has to hop with it every evening after coming back from the summer camp!

Pre-4th of July trip to Solvang and Santa Barbara

We haven't been visiting Solvang and Santa Barbara for a while, it's the 4th of July weekend so we decided to drive down to the Ostrichland to feed some Ostriches and Emos. We visited Solvang and found tons and tons of Mainland Chinese tourists there. We dropped by Santa Barbara Pier and enjoyed some delicious seafood before headed home.

Take your kids to work day

6/9/15

I signed up for both girls but Erica could not come because she was having her finals on English and Social Studies. Vivian was so excited and she has been waiting for the opportunity to visit Mattel since I started on last September. It was a very fun day for Vivian, started with continental breakfast in the morning, then visited the Design Center, met lots of designers, had lunch with daddy at the cafeteria, then attended afternoon sessions at the studios and toy testing lab. It was a fun day for Vivian. Sorry can't post any pictures inside the Design Studios.

Erica's school portraits

This year school is getting a little too aggressive on student portraits! They printed out one 8x10, two 5x7, four 3x5, eight 2x3 and a bunch of keychain cards for students to buy. Entire package $49! As always, we never buy school portraits, will return all pictures back to school on Monday.


2015 Conejo Valley school district String Festival

This is Vivian's 2nd violin group performance at the Thousand Oaks Civic Art Center. Hosted by Westlake Village High School. This time she was in violin intermediate class, she has a great improvement compared to last year's level, we are happy to see her keep playing violin this year. The show was great except the performance session by the high school philharmonic orchestra was way too long (25 minutes) and everybody got bored, hope next year they can cut it to half the time.
