Playing Catch-up

So we are playing catch-up on the blog. We have been doing a lot of fun things and going a hundred miles an hour all at the same time. I spend a lot of time at work building up the business, so the time we do spend together is important to us. Dinner is one of those times. One night we had a picnic on the living room floor. Maleah loved it! The next night really got into it and cooked crab. Cassie picked some winners from the fishy guys selling seafood from their boats on the pier. Then Dad got to come home and cook the little guys. (Maleah started to get attached to the little fellas but she was okay with us cooking them and really loved the meat.) The picture above shows Maleah and I getting an up-close look at the crab. You can't see the crab very well but you can definitely see my leopard spotted slippers that I wear all around the house.

During the Tin Hau Festival they built this massive building completely out of bamboo, ties, and tin for the roof. It was so big. It took them about a week and a half to build it so they could perform Chinese opera for 4 days and then they took it back down. It probably held over 1000 people. It was such an amazing structure.

Yesterday Cassie and Maleah decided to have a fun day together at Disneyland. They went on so many rides, by time I got home from work Maleah was down for the count and Cassie was fighting to stay awake to visit. Maleah got to meet Tigger, one of her favorite Winnie the Pooh characters. Both Cassie and Maleah loved the Lion King show! Cassie loved it so much she became emotional watching the inspirational story of Simba. (It also could just be the pregnancy hormones.) Stay tuned for our Dragon Boat Festival update!!
