This is a month of hot sun ended with cold weather in Alaska.
We went to a water park in Freemont. Renee jumped right in and Max was very scared. He held on to me tightly for one round. Once I got him a life jacket, he was able to relax and realized that he could actually reach the bottom.
We went to visit Exploratorium again. This time Max took a sip out of the water fountain that is made of a toilet. Looks weird even knowing that this one was brand new and never used.
We were all excited to found a balcony with extra stuff to look at. Renee did her usual pose here.
In the hot weather, we sought parks with water to play. It turned out that the two we visited had the water shut down because of the drought. Nevertheless, we enjoyed climbing this rock in the park.
Renee and Max have their check-ups at the Doctor's. I hope they inherit their grand parents eyesight.
Max and I are learning from the same Shifu these days. I am learning Taichi and he is learning Kungfu. I hope he performs better in the next tournament.
One interesting discovery of the month is that Renee learned to use the chopsticks! I took a video of it too.
At the end of the month, we took a trip on an Alaska cruise. The kids of different families had a great time together, as they usually do whenever they are together.
This kid hot tub became one of the few places where they spent most of the time while on the boat.
The big slide on the boat was a big winner too, but only for the first couple of days.
This is the young gang with two kids missing in the picture. I cannot remember where they were at the time of this picture.
It was raining the day we visited but the kids were having very good spirit. I am not sure if they got the significant of the glacier though.
We took a train ride in Skygway, where the kids enjoyed it very much. However, I didn't take pictures of them on the train except this one.
Max liked this train very much for some reason. He stared at it for a long time. I just had to take a picture of him.
In the second to the last night, Max and Renee had a show along with the other kids in the club on the boat. Max was in the tiger group. They even each had a tail.
Grrrrr.... at the end of the show
