This blog is for Lewis and Harriet's beloved child, Angela. It has collected notes and pictures on Angela's growth and development as well as events and activities taken place between 11.25.2008 and 12.31.2011.
Angela joined a Halloween activity for kids nearby the shopping area of Taipei Main Station last Saturday. Before that, Angela's preschool English teacher had talked about trick-or-treat in class, so she was quite looking forward to the event. The area was decorated by common Halloween imagery such as pumpkin lanterns, themes of death, witches, ghosts, etc.Unaffected by the gloomy weather, this event attracted lots of kids and toddler to have fun and to get free gifts.
Angela bumped into one of her preschool classmates, EuiShuan.
Many kids dressed in costume wigs, character masks. cloak and hats to make their Halloween costumes stand out. But, Mommy preferred Angela to be a sweet, cute bug in the ladybug costume.
The Halloween program included a series of interactive activities, storytelling, trick-or-treating, and a costume contest. Angela went for a DIY activity and used straws to make a dinosaur, as shown in the picture. Angela got a lot of toys provided by sponsor, MacDonald and a scarf and a pair of gloves. Cool.
During story time, Angela was sitting with kids to listened to the storytellers and watched their performance. She also paid attention to the conversation between storytellers and other kids.
On the national day, Angela and Mommy went to see public parade nearby the presidential hall. The parade drawed a huge crowd to gather at Jen-Ai Road in the afternoon.
There were various characters bolloons. band performances, dance and people in the parade.
Angela watched happily and waved her little hands and said hello to them. However, because these characters were so big that Angela was afraid of shaking hands with them.
In the evening, Angela, Mommy, Grandma and Uncle watched beautiful fireworks displays, which is one of the most excited events on the national day. For an hour, the fireworks turned the night sky into a dazzling explosion of color, a perfect final hurrah for the nation's birthday party.
