The Zhao Family

Brennan was done with Summer Jazz Camp on Friday and on Sunday he left to go to scout camp for one whole week with the Branch and Kentland's Young Men at Goshen Scout Reservation in Virginia which is about 3 1/2 hours away. Only scout leaders and scouts are allowed to go; no parents or family members.This is his first year going camping all by himself with other scouts. It was kind of weird moment since it's the first time he's left us to go on his own.

Since our branch youth has combined Kentland's youth for almost two years, this is one of the blessings of having more youth. They can go on excursions with kids their age group and standards that we do not need to worry that much.

This hiking back pack along with other scout gear are all free from the scouting-cycling.

The will miss their older brother..maybe.

For the nearly 20 years I've been in the branch, I've never seen our branch have young men in scouts and suddenly we have five! - one of which is my son!

Brennan has been attending a Summer Jazz band camp for the last three weeks. He really loved it. There are about 120 students and they all played some kind of brass instrument. On the last day, the group performed for the parents.

The Pascual's finally came back to America and finally have time to visit us! Since they've been going everywhere and eating everything, Da just made them my homemade burgers and enjoyed each others' company. The Pascuals were looking for some fun games they can bring back to Taiwan for their students, so we introduced them to Scattergories and Taboo!. It was like the best games to play with the 'Bi-linguals' team! Lol

It was awesome to see how different people eat in different ways! Lol. Joyce prefers to fork the burger patty and eat the buns with the veggies and condiments. She also prefers to eat a salad with her hands rather than hands. This is all thanks to Jericho's ideas. Lol

The best part about this was that she didn't even start with the clues yet but already cracking up hysterically! (video below)
