Jalan - jalan

Monday - May 6, 2013


We've been having some nice weather here since last week. It almost feels like summer actually, especially today. It was pretty warm in the low 80s. I just had  this impromptu plan to just go out and enjoy the sun so I  asked my friend Farina if she wanted to come along. I knew I wanted to go to the beach for sure. 


I love this headshot! She looked different though.


The last time she went to a beach was when we were in North Carolina, visiting Daniel's sister and her family. That was also her first. She wasn't too keen back then. This time around I think she had fun. She didn't even mind the cold water. 


I gave Sarah a piece of palm sugar steamed cake that Farina made (a type of Malay sweet snack) and she ate it really slowly, taking a super small bite at a time. That was what she was holding in her right hand in the picture and in many pictures after this one.


Oh that look!


She finally decided that it was more comfortable to just sit in the cold water. I did bring a change of clothes just  in case she gets wet.


Waiting for Auntie Farina to peel some Cutie oranges while holding a new piece of cake. She did finish the first one with Auntie Farina's help.


She got impatient.


Finally.


"Mmmm...I'm not sure if I can finish this"



She was never a big fan of swings until today. She kept looking at this girl next to her who was slightly older, giggling and screaming and I guess it hit her that the swinging thing wasn't that bad after all. When it was time to go, she didn't want to get out of the swing seat and threw a bit of tantrum.

Ice cream, Sun & Spring break

These are the pictures from last week when the boys had their Spring break. We had some beautiful weather for a few days, sunny skies with temperatures in the low 60s. I think it might be our best Spring so far since we moved here. Farhan was not in the pictures because he decided to stay home with Daniel.

Sarah had a taste of ice cream. Actually it was mine, but I accidentally dropped a whole big scoop of strawberry ice cream, except for its cone, on the floor. There was a little bit left inside the cone and I let her tasted it and she won't let it go. 

The park we went to, Muriel Iverson Williams Waterfront Park, Poulsbo. It's a small park, but I love the view. 

The boys love to climb this rock every time we come here.

Still holding the ice cream cone. At least she let me ate it bit by bit until it was gone.

This picture pretty much summarizes how Sarah is nowadays. She hardly sits still.


Sarah loves to slide on this rock. And Emir loves to play with her. 

Thanks Auntie Aida for the shoes!

Cherry blossoms are blooming!

I think Sarah loves it.

These boys are getting so big. Emir is going to be in sixth grade soon!
