I am so excited to spend the next three days with our good friends here !  It’s like a playdate for the whole family. As soon as we got there we all jumped into the pool.

While guys are catching up drinking beer by the poolside,

we, ladies are sipping cocktails in the water !

YIPPEE!!!

We’re going down to Lancaster PA for the weekend !

First stop: Ice cream parlor.

Shane took a picture of me while we were waiting.

So funny. They always have to taste each other’s.

We’re doing Korean BBQ for dinner!

short ribs and fatty slices of pork belly

Can’t say it was a comfortable night… kids slept on top of air mattress while Andrew and I just slept in the sleeping bags. Next time. we’re going glam-ping.

Ramen for breakfast. Kids’ been obsessed with ramen since they had it for the first time in Hawaii. It’s definitely  my one food weakness…

Oh yea…

We match!

They’re trying to catch fish.

Chloe’s not happy after seeing a weird looking bug in the water.

All that fishing made him hungry again.

We went to Stokes State forest, NJ.

Look at her go.

For lunch I made Vietnamese grilled pork sandwiches for everyone.

I also brought red wine sangria

Now it’s time to explore the nature!

Our friends came over tonight because we are all going CAMPING tomorrow!

Plants watered. We’re ready to go.

Since joining the LT gym last week, we’ve been going to the outdoor pool everyday after dinner (except when they have swim lessons elsewhere). So basically we went swimming every single day this week.

Kids ran into their friends here and played together. Good times.

Selfies

Chloe said it feels like we’re on a vacation. LIFE is good. 🙂

This afternoon we had so much fun at our friend’s pool party!

Andrew and I were hanging out with our adults friends on the other side of the backyard and I peek at the swimming pool to check on the kids and this is what I saw.

My heart. Skipped. A beat. He didn’t have his floaties on!!!!

This is when my heart stopped…

and this is when I stared breathing again. He came up from the deep water and swam across to the side.

O.M.G. that boy… I guess the last two session of swim lessons really helped him!

Hahaha I love that face!

Thank you Lin family for the awesome pool party!

Tonight I’m preparing simple italian dinner for my good friends who are visiting from the city.

Herb roasted cod with green olives with side of creamy parmesan polenta. Ina Garten’s recipes. Super easy and super delicious!

Celery parmesan salad with parsley and toasted walnuts.

Can’t believe how much you grew, Oliver!

Sweet sweet baby girl.

Thank you so much for visiting us. Many many congratulations you guys!!! Love you!
