San Antonio, TX

Another Law adventure, this time to San Antonio, TX! The resort in San Antonio is especially memorable for Mommy and Daddy because that's where they told their families that they were having me a few summers ago. It's a great location because it's just down the street (well, interstate) from Dallas but has lots of activities to do. Not brave enough to deal with a potential 5 hour cry-fest in the car, we took a family flight together instead.

Who's going to pack mule us?

The first day was just getting situated ... you know, checking out the grounds, hanging out with Po-Po and Gong-Gong, and making sure the beach was up to snuff. It was.

Elevator. Check!

Yee-haw!

Lazy river!

The next day, we went to the zoo! We saw sooooo many animals. I especially liked feeding the fish (they are very excited eaters) and watching the elephant be fed. At first I really liked feeding the tiny birds until they start landing on us. Eek! They had a really good kids center where I got to go fishing and a big field in back where Daddy and I performed. I was especially excited about the train outside the zoo that we saw on our way in and found it the perfect vessel in which to fall asleep for my afternoon nap.

Can I feed the elephants?

Check out our ride!

Going fishin'

Flap, flap!

Cotton candy is goooood

On Tuesday, Daddy and I did crafts at the Armadillo club and just stayed at the hotel where -- gasp! -- Sofia and her family showed up that afternoon! Yay! I was so happy to see here and incredibly excited to show her the beach.

Wanna come in?

Me and my BFF

Driftin' along

Wednesday turned out to be a special outing day with just Mommy and Daddy. They took me to the Children's Museum downtown where we met up with Sofia's family and then to the Riverwalk for Mexican food and a boat ride.

All a-board!

A Papi-sized bubble!

Feather!

Hippity-hoppity

Cheeeeeez ... and salsa!

After I got up from my afternoon nap, another surprise visitor -- Da-Jiu! Hooray! I was so happy to see him and couldn't wait to show him everything we'd done so far.

King me!

What are all those little people doing down there?

The next day was a "near" day again (we alternated throughout the week), and after art time with Daddy, we headed to the beach again. That night, I got to do something in the tub that I NEVER get to do at home ... bubbles!

Making a master-PEEs

Back to shore I go

I'll catch it!

Whoa ... my tub doesn't do THIS at home

Our last full day, Mommy and I did some girl time at the salon where I got my nails painted for the very first time. I was super patient waiting for Mommy (just soaking my toes, checking out all the chairs, and choosing my paint color), and I got pretty toes and a beautiful lamb as a reward.

I'm a unicorn

That paint is stinky!

Hehe!

Baking our piggies

My new lamb that I got from the "painting lady"

Then, later that day? Sea World! Our hotel was just across te street from Sea World, so we headed there ater lunch to see catch some shows and check out animals -- we saw dolphins up close (eh), clowns (yay!), and Shamu(oooooo!). Even for the beginning of October, it got kind of hot, but I did enjoy the Halloween decorations and costumes. I was determined to see the penguins, but they were SOOOO far away. Daddy said he would take me, so he pushed me all the way over there so that I could see them ... and promptly fall asleep.

Nice to meet you

The clown made me laugh

Carnival rides with Mommy

Pooped

Pooped out after a big day, I had to rest up for the last of my special visitors: Crystal A-Yi and Xiao-Jiu! They're right in the middle of school and work right now, so they couldn't come earlier in the week, but the one night with them was so much fun.

Together again!

Poor Xiao-Jiu lost a bet

Unbelieveably, it was time to go the next day. We went out to Mommy's Buo-Mu's house for a yummy meal and some family time before we had to head back to the airport and home.

On the road again

Snoozing

Was I glad to see my family? Yup! Was it fun! Always!

So sour! This picture makes Mommy laugh.

Check out the whole San Antonio album online!

Spunky Personality

Auntie Debbie says I have a spunky personality. I can't imagine why. :)

You can try, but no way you'll keep me in here!

My Halloween costume arrived!

Ride 'em, cowboy!

Happy Birthday, Whole Foods!

Whoops!

I have perfected one of Mommy's staples during college: seaweed and rice. I will explicitly ask for it morning, noon, and night. I'll make it for you sometime when you come over.

A pinch of rice

Wrap in seaweed

Enjoy!

We had a parade of cultures at school where we all dressed up in clothes from our culture and waved flags from our countries. Mommy wasn't quite sure whether to have a China or Taiwan flag, so I had both!

Ready for my singing debut!

Waving my flag loud and proud



Taiwan?

China? Why can't we all get along?

Play Fun - Parties and Playgroups

I know I don't even need to tell you how we stayed busy this month, so her are some highlights!

Elmo
We went to another show by the lake, this time it was a safari person who looked suspiciously like the professor from a few weeks back. I enjoyed it pretty well until ... well, the special guest came out.

What's all the commotion?

Uhhhh ....

Elmo! I'm okay watching from WAY over here.

Happy family outing

Late night bundle snack

Dora
Because apparently seeing Elmo in person wasn't enough, my parents gave it another shot at the open play at MyGym.

Wheeee!

What tha..?

Again, I'm okay enjoying from WAY over here

Getting brave and a little bit closer

Reid's Birthday
I went to another Reid's birthday party at the Animal Safari. They had a running train on a track as well as these crazy mechanical animals!

Choo-choo

Waiting patiently for a turn

Go, elephant, go!

Trying a little golf

How come this one isn't walking?

And More!
Some other random things -- went to open bounce one morning and had a great time both there and at lunch with my friends afterwards; went to a playgroup at Reid's house where Sofia and I snuck off to play before joining the group.

Sliding at Bounce U

Caught ... actually being good!

Giggling together

Just a sampling of fun things done. See more in our September album!

Labor Day Visitors

We had lots of family come visit for Labor Day. Da-Jiu is already here working hard at his rotation, and Cousin James' family was here for a wedding. Mommy's family came, well, to see us.

On Friday, George Shu-Shu and Aunt Christina had to attend the rehearsal dinner and Daddy had to work late at Ambition, so Mommy got to watch all three Pee kids by herself. Her solution: get us outside as long as possible. We went to a couple of parks in the neighborhood and enjoyed the great weather. Da-Jiu came home from work in time for dinner where he was a huge help.

To the park we go?

Safely feeding the ducks

Running off, but not too far

Dinner = chaos

Rub-a-dub-dub. Three in a tub.

On Saturday, the Houston and Austin Law contingencies showed up, and it was play time! We got some really quality time when Mommy and Daddy headed out to the Ambition finale party and we were left in the hands of five very capable sitters. Five watching 2? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Laptop time

Can you come up, Kirby?

Wheee!

We wanted to celebrate Po-Po and Crystal A-Yi's birthdays while everyone was together, so we fit in cake Sunday morning.

Cake!

Po-Po and HER babies

The whole Law-side together

Big hugs for Da-Jiu

One last group shot with our weekend visitors

The Austin visitors had to leave, so it was just Da-Jiu and Po-Po and Gong-Gong the rest of the weekend.
