Purdue, Eagle Project, and Nanjing

Renee is off to Purdue University for her first intern job! It still amazes me that college freshman are taking interns now.

This is from Renee's post in Lockit. Lockit has been an effective app for me to get pictures from Renee regularly, even though sometimes are collage like this with toungue out.

Max was able to watch his schedule, and finished building the eagle project before the trip to China, 2 planter boxes for the Gale Ranch Middle School.

And we are off to China! Here is the first stop, Nanjing, to catch up with my father and sisters so that we can go to Yunnan together.

While waiting, I took them to places that I have become familiar with. This is Xuanwu lake (玄武湖)

This is a new place call Yuejiang Lou (阅江楼)

Busy Month with Renee Back!

Renee has been back from college and this month is full of pictures!

Max started getting the materials ready for his Eagle project.

Renee went with me on a Saturday to help a building project of an archery ched is Camp Herms. Here she was spraying water after cleaning up the mold grown on the wood after the raining season.

We went out for a stroll after dinner a few times like the old times. Max and Renee enjoyed each other's company.

With their cousin coming over for a visit, the three kids walked over the new bridge near San Ramon City Center.

Max always enjoys going to the car wash.  After his Kungfu class, we filled up the tank and went thorugh it.

Max rides his OneWheel whenever he gets a chance.  It was not cheap but has been a neat investment.

Here Max is learning power saw after the wood is cut for his eagle project.  He cannot use power tool during the project himself due to safte policy.

Max attended Kungfu Tournament.  

During the Wind and Kite feastival, Max and Renee went to make some kites as they were when they were younger.

Here they are flying the kites that they made.  Max has become pretty good at it.

Max has earned Black Belt Level 4, the highest level for amature members.

Here is a screenshot of Max perform staff form in the Kungfu Tournament.

College Tour with Max

While Renee is busy in Colloge, Max gets to go on his college tour. We made a city hop to U-Chicago and Upenn. After that, Max went with his mom to the schools in the area. Apparenly we didn't take pictures of him by himself.

This is the U-Chicago, where Max met his friend from Kungfu school, and we also went to THE Bean.

Renee had a dance performance with her dance team.

At UPenn, I got to revisit the Wharton business school with Max.

Here is Max visiting UC Santa Cruz.

Max got an upgrade this year on the band and sitting at the frist seat!
