Seattle Trip

I was not expecting to go to Seattle that weekend and was surprised when an invitation from my in laws to spend Victoria Day at Tulalip Casino, Seattle for lunch


It was a struggle not to get out of Premium Outlet almost empty-handed but we have to budget our money now that we do have additional expenses this past few weeks :( plus we don;t have much dollar onhand since we were only told about the plan 2 days before the date.

I am hoping my next trip to Seattle would be more fruitful ;)... Maybe on Canada Day? Who knows? I might have save enough to treat K to an overnight stay for the both of us (",)

Richmond Park Family Fun

Up and down
Sky and ground....

Little Kimi enjoyed the seesaw ride

The First Swim

Kimi's first time to try out the waters...

We decided to try an indoor pool at C.G. Brown. With mom and dad fully supporting her in her first swim, we outfitted little Kimi with the adorable flower bathrobe mommy and daddy bought from Zellers. Both mommy and daddy decided to take a dip in the baby's pool as well to make Kimi feel safe for her first swimming experience.


Mommy got Kimi within arms reach all the time...


Daddy hold out his most precious sea princess proudly for the camera...


After the swim... A change to a fresh new clothes from Auntie Honey...

Lumpia... A Labor of Love

This was the first time we ever attempted at making Lumpia pinoy style... Armed with a page from an old Food Magazine. K and I set out on the endlewss cutting of vegtables for the lumpia.... Cut cut cut...cut cut cut... fry and then wrapping. It was almost 8pm when we finished everything....


I was not quite sure whether all those vegetable would tastes good but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it does taste good and I would probably eat it even if I wasn;t the one who cooked it he he!
