A few friends from NY came down this week to visit us. There wasn't anything that was particularly interesting for them to see or visit. Since they were here for Tuesday and Wednesday there was not much to think of. They wanted to go visit the Washington DC Temple. They did that on their own, but then I took a day off to show them the local things. It was fun.
Here Brennan has been cordially asked by the ladies in the morning to walk to the lake with them.
Sister Chan and Sister Chin at the lake.
Sister Lai. Seems like all her pictures, she's always on the phone. Either she's a busy woman or her phone controls the camera to take pictures.
Sister Kwok. Hm trying to look pretty and all. Maybe I should post her picture on some dating website, lets see if she keeps her smile after she meet the guys from online. hehehe.
After the morning walk and breakfast, we headed down to the Washington National Zoo in DC. Its a perfect day to go down there. And since its a weekday, no one was there. They didn't miss much from the Pandas since all the Panda's really do is eat and sleep total oblivious to the visitors to the Zoo. Wish the Pandas were more like the animals in the movie Madagascar.
Here's the gang at the zoon.
I wonder who took the photo and who's looking after the kids when this photo is taken. The kids might have taken to custody probably put in a showcase they way Da train his kids.
You can barely see the tiger in the distance but they were just laying around in the sun not really doing anything. But the video is worth the day at the Zoo.
Even the Tiger gets annoyed because at the end, the Tiger can't stand them anymore and walks away.
After the Zoo trip, the next trip is to go to my dad's house in Rockville, of all places to pick farm fresh produce. All produce from my dad's garden are chinese vegetables. Here is Sister Chin piling up her pickings of the bitter melons with the help of her sister.
Sister Chan is posing for the camera for her gentleness picking the bitter melon.
Sister Kwok was over doing it. We told her to pick one by one, look at how greedy she is picking at these vegatables. But the smile on her face says it all. What you going to do? fight with a woman on it?
Sister Lai is claming her prize. I just feel that like these are big kids bringing home a pumpkin to show to their parents during Halloween time. Such innocent and sincere smiles and enjoyment.
The hairs on the squash/melon are really hard and sharp so George uses a bag to pick up the biggest one. Notice the white substance on it? -well during the Anthrax scare a few years back, there was a shipment of this same types of melons/squash from China and the border patrols thought is was Anthrax and so they made this huge deal about it b/c they didn't know and sent the whole huge shipment of this food back to China.
So for a grand finale for their trip down to DC, each family took a huge melon/squash with them back to NY. It's ironic how the locals here think that NY produce were fresher and yet New Yorkers come here to take food back up there b/c we have foods that you can pick, cut, and cook with in 5 minutes. Its fair to say that NY don't have everything.
