Sunset at DanShuei 淡水的夕陽

小恩恩和Daddy、Mommy這個週末下午和雅雅與三姑姑相約到淡水踩馬路逛街，並觀賞淡水的夕陽。

這個週末是個秋高氣爽的好天氣，淡水老街充滿了遊客。

沿途的店家很多都是賣兒童的藝品與玩具，小恩恩和雅雅姐姐看得目不暇給。小恩恩和雅雅姐姐在一家拉麵館前的展飾模型玩得很開心。 雅雅姐姐還請三姑姑買了一個Deigo的氣球，當作是今天遊淡水的戰利品。

看完了夕陽，小恩恩和雅雅一同到天母Sogo用晚餐，在等候進餐廳前，兩人在Sogo兒童遊樂區玩跳跳馬，十分快樂。

Travel to Nantou 遊南投

Before Daddy flew back to the States, the family had a two-day trip for celebrating family gathering. Partly because of the abundant tourism resources and partly because of the short disance from ChangHau, Daddy drove Mommy and Angela around Nantou's popular scenic attractions.

The family took a tour from ChangHau to Cingjing Farm(青境農場) , Sun-Moon Lake(日月潭) , Shuei-Li Snake Kiln Ceramics Cultural Park(水里蛇窯) , Jiji train station(集集火車站) and ChangHau train station with fan-shaped roundhouse( 彰化火車站扇形車庫) .

At Cingjin Farm Angela carefully watched sheeps eating grass and heard sheeps saying "Baa-Baa".






After typhoon, the weather was a little windy at Sun-Moon Lake, but the family still had fun and enjoyed the tranquil scenery a lot .






The pictures were taken at Jiji train station after Angela ran around the traditional style choo-choo train behind.









Angela loves trains so much and she was very impressed with the fan-shape roundhouse nearby Changhua train station.

Family Reunion 家聚

週末小恩恩與Daddy和Mommy回彰化探望爺爺奶奶。 每次回彰化，小恩恩最歡喜的，除了有機會搭火車之外，最期待的末過於可以看到一群親友，除了爺爺奶奶之外，還有逗人的姑姑、姑丈，堂兄弟和堂姐們，非常熱鬧。

小恩恩特別高興又可以和雅雅、黃荳相聚在爺爺奶奶家，一起搶溜滑梯、吃零食和玩玩具。這回小朋友們又有新的花樣，就是玩搶著將銅板投入錢筒裡。瞧，雅雅和若恩很專注地看著黃荳在投錢幣呢！

Trip to E-Lan 宜蘭一日遊

今天Daddy和Mommy帶小恩恩到宜蘭冬山河親水公園與台灣傳統藝術中心遊玩。



但是因為親水公園到處都是豔陽高照，Angela 顯得無精打采，加上水上活動都在施工，Daddy決定縮短行程，只在河邊讓小恩恩看看鴨子，拍拍照，就驅車到傳統藝術中心。



今天並非假日，傳統藝術中心的遊客較少，不會人擠人。這是Angela第二次造訪傳統藝術中心。首先全家人先觀賞了布袋戲的表演，Angela 未曾看過布袋戲，看到會動的小玩偶，很新鮮，雖然聽不懂台語，還是很認真得在看。


隨後，全家人到廟口觀看孫悟空大戰牛魔王取芭蕉扇的歌仔戲，好奇寶寶Angela當然是很認真地看戲。



戲劇尾聲，小恩恩還拿著小芭蕉扇的道具，跟著唐三藏、孫悟空師兄弟及牛魔王等一群人及遊客一起踩街。瞧，小恩恩拿著扇子很認真得在扇，希望能把火扇息。

Get ready for preschool 準備上學去

Yesterday Angela visited preschool with Daddy and Mommy. It was an informal visiting in preparation for her beginning with formal preschool this October. Since last week Mommy and Daddy have repetitively told Angela that she is going to enroll in a preschool program at nearby Rixin primary school. In order to help little Angela be familiar with new environment and help her get along with new people, Mommy and Daddy not only taught school-related words and phrases to Angela, but also reinforced her social interaction skills, especially controlling her temper tantrums and behaviors.
When Mommy and Daddy introduced Angela to the teacher, most toddlers showed interest in this newcomer at class since Angela looks so small and so active. While Angela seems too young to attend preschool, she is very excited about meeting with big boys and girls and looking forward to playing with new friends.

Dance with Doraemon at Window on China 小人國遊記

This weekend Daddy, Mommy and Angela had a pleasant excursion to Window on China, one of popular tourist attractions in Taiwan.

It has been a long while since the family gathered together and had a short trip last time. The family was so excited, espcially Daddy, because it would be a great opportunity to shoot close up photos and outdoor protraits for Angela.

At Window on China, Angela firstly was impressed with various transportation models and said the name of the transportation that she knows, e.g. airplanes cars, buses, trains, MRT, and boats at the Miniworld theme park.

Next, the family took tour train to Doraemon theme park where Angela had a great fun seeing Doraemon costume show and danced with other kids at performance square.

Thereafter, the family went to amusement park where provides both indoor and outdoor equipment and rides for tourists. The family took riverboat for a short euro journey, and then took strawberry-modeled ferris wheel to view Window On China from the above.

Angela also had fun with Mary-go-Round carrouse, ball pits, choo-choo toy train and etc.

Undoubtedly, Angela enjoyed the happy family day out and had a wondeful time at Doraemon theme park and amusement park.
