Snapshots during Thanksgiving Holidays

On Thanksgiving day, Angela helped out to decorated the front door. Since the weather was so nice, Daddy took a family picture in front of the house.  Angela was wearing her hand-made indian head wreath and showed a big smile on her face.
This year, Angela's third birthday was one day after Thanksgiving Holiday.  Mommy and Daddy prepared traditional Chinese birthday cuisine -- thin noodles (Misua) with pig's trotters (port hocks) and red eggs expressing the hope for longevity and symbolizing future health and peace for celebrating Angela's birthday.  Angela also picked a very big birthday cake decorated to look like a snowman for herself.  Look! The birthday girl quite enjoyed her meal and cake.


Angela got Lego from Daddy and two books from Mommy for her birthday gifts.
May Angela continues to grow healthily and joyfully. Happy Birthday!

Texas Renaissance Festival 德州文藝復節

每年的11月美國德州會舉辦文藝復興活動,據說;與國內其他各州的文藝復興主題活動比較,是屬於比較有看頭的大型主題娛樂活動。今年2011 Texas Renaissance Festival舉辦的地點離休士頓還算近,加上Daddy剛好有4張招待券,所以Angela 連著兩個週日都去參觀。
Angela 看到很多人裝扮得像中古世紀的人,以及不同的音樂、舞蹈及戲劇表演覺得相當新奇。
不過,最讓小恩恩興奮的還是--玩旋轉馬的遊樂活動,因為這是她第一次騎真正的馬!瞧,小恩恩騎馬的姿態還頗有模有樣的,一點也不害怕!

在整個活動區域內,除了騎旋馬以外,也設置不少的遊樂器具供遊客娛樂,包括高空彈跳、海盜船、射擊、攀岩、打沙包、擊重等等。其中,Angela 與Daddy一起搭坐旋轉杯,這旋轉杯雖然是人工配合機械發動旋轉的,可是轉起來還是相當快速刺激,小恩恩轉到後來都有點害怕,雙手緊緊地抱著Daddy。

另外,小恩恩還玩了一個爬牢籠的遊戲,牢籠有三層,小朋友要到最上層,必須要用手臂的力量往上撐才行。Angela看到比較大的小朋友的爬行動作很快就到了頂層。結束後,還很興奮地與Daddy留影。
