Tanaka Farms 2009

What difference did a year make! Looking at last year’s pictures (here) Lorelai was so baby-like. We don’t notice it seeing her everyday, but she’s changed so much this year! We went to Tanaka Farms again, but this time with Lance and Lorelai’s cousins. It was so tiring for us. All of our joints hurt after we got home, but it was fun :)

Taiwan Trip, Part 2

Lorelai & Emma (my brother Ryan’s daughter who’s 4 month older than Lorelai) have been looking at and talking to each other on Skype for a while every week. It was nice for them to finally meet in person. They had tons of fun together and are now BFFs (although Lorelai does take advantage of Emma’s tame personalities).

One thing we loved to do while in Taiwan was going out for soy milk breakfast. No, not the vanilla Silk soy milk stuff, but the traditional Chinese soy milk. They also sell different kind of steamed buns and pastries – all yum-o. Since we had jet lag and usually wake up early, we went there a lot for breakfast. It usually only cost us about $6 or $7 for 3 or 4 of us to get REALLY full.

A block away from our home there’s a dusk market right by the streets. Fresh kills and lots of other stuff. People got really nervous when I take pictures thinking I was from the Health Department or something. The seafood lady actually asked my mom and we had to quickly explain that I am just being a tutorist.

Ryan & Amy took some time off to take us out and about. Thanks guys, we had lots of fun! Here we are at a flower farm.

Lorelai was such a poser and running around for Emma to chase. Afterward we went to the ceramic district where they sell lots of nice stuff for tourists. I really wanted to buy something, but controlled my impulses and decided against it.

Tanaka Farms Pumpkin Patch

Following our previous failed attemps a few weeks ago to find a pumpkin patch around the Chino Hills area, I decided to just find a good one and drive there rather than aimlessly driving around searching for them again. Tanaka Farms is located in Irvine, and it’s a funny little farm where they have strawberries, pumpkins, Xmas trees, and other stuff depending on the season. When we arrived on Saturday, they had pumpkin painting, games, petting zoo, wagon ride, corn maze, and a big pumpkin patch. A fun place for families. The wagon ride was kinda cool since on the ride back we were the only ones on it, which made us feel special. Kinda like Jack & Jeannie + 1 ish.
