HoiMan and John stopped by to visit us for a couple days
while they were visiting John's family was a great treat for us.
Apparently, according to HoiMan's photographic memory, the last time we
gather was in 2012 January during the big snow storm and we were all at
Jeremy Yau's home in Brooklyn NY. That was when they only had one child and our kids were still very little.
Anyways, we had a great
time together. They stayed with us after they visited the DC Smithsonian
and Lincoln memories with John's family. The two nights they stayed
with us, each night we talked and talked until 2am before we went to
bed. During all that talk we ate a whole lot of junk food that otherwise
we can't splurge on while the kids are awake. The next morning we
couldn't get up but only to be awakened by our children. I made my usual
pancakes and crepes for them to eat. To my surprise, their oldest on,
Dayton loved my pancakes! In fact, the next morning I made a special batch for
him. He ate four small ones and three large ones in one sitting! pretty
much half of the batch! I am happy that someone loves my pancakes!
So
we went to YumCha, then to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton MD to see the
flowers and then to ride the train. It was a great time! A lot of catching up and made a lot of memories too!
The kids went to the park and played woodchips down the slide
We as adults would talk until 2am catching up on the good old days..and eat yummy midnight snacks
At the request of their son, Dayton, he loves my pancakes that I made one batch just for him and he ate half of it by himself.
Dayton borrowed Clayton's bike and he seemed to have a great time.
Yumcha!
Then we went to Brookside Gardens to walk around and enjoy the park. The kids has fun seeing many new and fun things.
There were toads everywhere, they must be mating. They were making a lot of sounds and were very loud too.
Clayton using the Canon Elph Powershot 100 HS to take photos of EVERYTHING.
Inside the garden, these plants were too good to pass without taking photos of them...in fact we had family photos from it.
Dad was unable to control Darius, so FongFong stepped in a help out.
There were alot of tadpoles and turtles and geese in the park that the kids exploring quite a bit.
Of all places, Dayton found his name inside the men's bathroom! Very funny!
We took the train ride there as well. They had a lot of fun!
BFF!
