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.

Easter break

It's been over a month that we haven't been to our cabin due to busy schedule... We made it this weekend and got there on Saturday afternoon, it was quite cold in the mountain and the weather forecast said it has 80% change that it will snow on Tuesday! We had Korean BBQ for dinner in the cabin and the girls went to their room and watched an old movie "ET". Sunday continued to be a chilly day, the girls had Easter egg hunt at the park in the afternoon and found quite a few egg goodies. On our way home, we stopped by Mongolian BBQ in Simi Valley and had a great dinner. Mommy went back to work on Monday and daddy spent another day with the girls. After spending an hour or so started new tortoise summer house project, daddy took the girls to see the movie "Cinderella", it was a beautiful movie and everyone enjoyed it.

A fun day bike riding from Santa Monica to Venice Beach

It's Good Friday today and we have a day off (poor mommy had to work today). I took the girls to McDonald's in Agoura Hills for breakfast before heading to Santa Monica biking. This was the 2nd time we rode from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. The girls stopped by many parks along the bike path, we had pizza and hot dog lunch at the Venice Beach broadwalk. On our way back, we stopped at Starbucks in Malibu for Frappachino and stopped by Agoura Animal Shelter and checked out the animals, we stopped by the pet store and got some super worms and crickets for our reptiles.

We left home early and had breakfast at Garden Cafe in Rowland Heights on our way to cousin Christine's house in Orange. For some reasons, they were planning a big celebration that day.

Friday afternoon tea

Everything Friday, we get off early at 1pm. I usually will pick up the girls before 3pm and head to McDonald's for "afternoon tea". Today we were very hungry and ordered a little too much food which spoiled our dinner.
