Big Bear Lake
Oma and Pop-pop came to visit for the week. We spent a few days up in Big Bear where the kids got to go sailing. Yulin's first time on a boat. She even got to steer with Pop-pop!

Legoland
Yup - we brokedown and went to San Diego's Wild Animal Park and Legoland. Yulin had never been to an amusement park, or on any rides. She watched each one carefully do a few rounds, and then would decide whether or not she would give it a try. Overall she is not afraid of very much!

First trip to the Ocean
We spent Gina's birthday at Santa Monica Beach with some friends. Yu-Lin first time at a beach and at the ocean. She loved it so much we could barely pull her away from the water to cover her in sunblock. She would grab Bob's hand and scream "C'mon Daddy, lets-a go!"

American Institute Taiwan
Spent the morning at AIT getting Yu-Lin's immigration visa. There were two other St Lucy families. One we had met on the bullet train yesterday, the other another Heartsent family. So we had good company. And we all had no problems at AIT! Tomorrow morning we all go back to pick up the final passports/visa's and we are good to return to the US! Our flight is tomorrow afternoon, the "back to the future flight" as we have been calling it as we leave Taiwan at 5 PM on Thursday and arrive in Los Angeles 3 PM Thursday!

No pictures are allowed at AIT, so here are some other shots around Taipei.

Bullet Train back to Taipei



We took the bullet train back to Taipei today. The kids mostly played Nintendo. I think in order to avoid battles a second Nintendo is on the top of our "to buy" list.
