A very cool Sunday afternoon at the Ventura Beach

It's been scorching hot in most part of Southern California these few days, many places like Woodland hills & San Fernando Valley were in triple digits... We drove 15 miles north to Oxnard and had Popeye's Louisiana Chicken for lunch, then we went another few miles north and spent a couple hours at the Ventura Beach. The weather in the beach communities was about 25-30 degrees F cooler than the Valley weather. What a nice place to chill out! The weather will start to cool down significantly starting from tomorrow.

Erica is on 2 wheels now!

I was so determined to teach Erica how to ride a bike last weekend... She wanted the training wheels to be put back on so bad but I was very firm with her that if she wants to ride a bike, it's going to be only 2 wheels! After 20 minutes of holding her shoulders, chasing breathlessly right behind her and coaching her, she started riding on her own! Her happiness on her face was so genuine & beautiful! I was so proud of her!

Making good progress in swim lessons!

After 4 weekend classes, both Erica & Vivian showed great improvement in swimming. Next Saturday will be their last class for the beginner's course, we will continue to let them progress into the next level...

Few more shots before the girls head to the pool.
