The Zhao Family

This is the boys' first swim practice. They all get tested to see which level they are in. Lately we've been going to the swimming pool every single day. The kids seem to love the pool and get as much water time as possible which we are starting to have fights with the kids so they can do their homework and music practices as well. But the kids got smarter and they would wake up early in the morning to do their homework and practices so they can go swimming after school. Not sure if that's an incentive or a double-edge sword.

Here Abbey says, NO NO you see my son, he should be in a higher level. (Tiger mom)

We started another year of Park Quest! And of course we went Canoeing! It's 10 minutes from our house and it was a beautiful day for it! We learned about testing the water and  the environmental impact on it, so we had to paddle all around the lake to do certain things. It was really fun! So fun that Da paddled the boys while the girls had their canoe. Halfway through, both canoes were tied together so the boys can help the girls to haul them.

Afterwards, we went right to the pool! This year Abbey bought a season pass to our local area pool and we already went each day of the entire Memorial Day weekend. The kids love it since they see all their school friends to play with, although they still love to shoot at Da. 

We even get to wash our cars, which we haven't washed for many years. Well Da did most of the washing while the kids did most of the soap bubble playing. But in the end, both cars are washed clean. Now we can see all the dents and scratches on the cars. Lol

So the boys had a overlapping recital at their school. It was a hard decision but mom said that we will attend Brennen's first year recital and then attend Clayton's last year recital next year. She recorded their rehearsal but it's pretty much the same except they dress a little nicer.
