Summer Bucket List Update

I am back! The last two weeks have been full yet refreshing at the same time.

You may have seen some of these photo on my Instagram. Thanks to Didi who lost my old Nokia, I got a used Iphone 3. Now I got a smart phone and can jump in "Instagram" bandwagon.

We joined our church Vacation Bible School. The church nearby our house kindly shared their VBS materials so our small church didn't have to buy anything. So grateful for their kindness and generosity.


After that, we went to Mendocino for family camping.


One of the reasons I love family road trips is the fact it gives us chance to get into deep heart to heart conversations

and make wonderful memories.

more on our camping trip later now onto
