Water Fun

Today we just discovered an outdoor baby pool by the splash park in YMCA. While Aiden was doing swimming class, Mia had great time in the baby pool and the deepest part is at her waist. Kids also had a lot of fun in he splash park.

Big Brother's Duty

Daddy had to do some neighborhood common area clean up this Saturday. So mommy had to take both kids to soccer. Before we headed out, Daddy asked Aiden to help Mommy to take care of Mia. He did really good job. He held her hands while walking to grocery store and hold her like a baby in the store. What.a big brother!!

Back to Swimming Class

After more than a month break from swimming class, we are back to swimming pool. Outdoor pool is open now and there is a small splash park next to pool which is quite nice so that Mia can play water too. The new coach seems to have Aiden do more stuff independently. Aiden is still having trouble to get his head completely under water. For now he is working on legs and arms paddling.


Time to relax

Mommy didn't bring my swimming suit :(

China Show at Children's Museum

Children's museum had new China exhibits. Since kids just got back from China, this would be good to refresh some memories. It also has real terra cotta shows. Aiden made a terra cotta soldier with clay with help from Daddy. Mia also did some "calligraphy" with real brush. Kids also liked to feed the panda.

Another Play Day in Coldwater Park

The Zeigler family reunion was in the Coldwater park. Kids were really to be there again and played with Grant and Audrey for more than half a day.

Coldwater Park

We headed to Coldwater Ohio on 4th July weekend for Zeigler's last family reunion. The park by Uncle Jason's house has been always a fun place for kids. Plus a few new things were added in the playground since last time we were there. Kids had blast. After the park we did our small fireworks - sparklers, Roman candles, tanks and hen laid eggs and watched a little bit of real fireworks across the Lake.
