The Zhao Family

Lately the weather has been beautiful that we took advantage of going to the lake and paddle boat. Then the following week, we hiked around the same lake for 6 miles.

At the request of grandpa that he eat dinner at our house, we cooked him his favorite food. FF even made a cake for him from scratch. He was so happy that he gave FF $40!

We tried to go crabbing but that didn't work, so we end up fish and only FF caught any fish. Then we to Continental Pizza and Subs in Kensington MD and order our favorite subs.

This year we went camping at Assateague Island State Park with Da's sister family. It was the first time his sister's family went there. We were visited by the wild horses many times, especially when we have food around. They are very smart horses! they would stick their head into our van and dig through the trash can and knock our cooler over to try to get food. We were able to enjoy the beach all to ourselves, they kids had an incredible time digging for mole crabs! they found tons of them! We even went crabbing! But because we didn't' have the proper gear, we were able to catch one little crab. One thing we weren't fully prepared was the torrential rain that our tents weren't meant for, so the first night the kids slept in the van while we used three tarps to cover ours. However the next couple days it was perfect and we dried up all the tents and cleaned them so we can sleep in them. Another thing that's not very welcomed are the mosquitos, soooo sooo many of them were attacking every single one of us. Other than that, we had a really great time!
