It looks like this is a month of outing and partying. Good weather, birthday invitations, and grandparents' visit all contributed to it.

We did our usual biking trip with me running along. We made the usual stop on the way home and took the usual picture.

Renee was invited to a birthday party. This is one that she was jumping off the platform.

In the meanwhile, Max was attending another birthday party. Max loves analyzing how things are taking apart and putting back together. However, he does not seem to enjoy doing that as a team. When another kid comes closer to observe or to get involved, he would switch to another place.

After the party, Max and Renee walked outside to feed the ducks. This is one of their favorite activity around here.

Max also got his suite ready to attend my graduation party. It is hard to believe that two years have passed and he has grown so big.

With grandparents in town, we went together to visit the Golden Gate Park.

Here is a little area on the side of the street.

The kids can still use some courage when it comes to height. But it is a lot easier to encourage them now. Usually you can get one to do it, and the other one will follow the suite.

We went on a hike and went off the trail. The grass was really deep but the kids had a lot of fun.

This is a picture taken when Lianxin took them to the Oakland zoo on the day that I was studying with my classmates.

Carousel remains their all time favorite. We are getting more comfortable with them riding by themselves too.
