A Night at Mexicali of Mexico

We were down in El Centro(including 'adventure partner' Xu Jiang)and Jon's friend Karina and Victor took us to the other side of the border--Mexico!

We ate at a nice seafood restaurant, which apparently was visited by some Hollywood stars before; then we went to the local carnival of the year. The kids had fun!

We brought with us passports so crossing back the border was not a problem. The highlights of the border-crossing was: the guard for some reason checked everybody's ID except Xujiang's so we considered him a smuggling success(kidding); Andre pretended that he was a tiger and "roar"ed everybody, including the border guard ( and Andre stuck his face out of the window and did it right in the guard's face), and he was amused by Andre for that one moment. Andre even babbled to us smilingly, with his new Chinese words,'Don't be afraid, I am a fake one' after he roared everybody like a tiger.

Interesting Snapshots at the Resort Hotel

Ashni and Andre are having a cabin fever. Looking out of the window at people swimming, they just want to be down there too.


Daddy's masterpiece--Andre in pillow diaper like a piece of marshmallow!


Andre is telling you exactly why he is crying--he wants to be tossed UP IN THE AIR again!


Standing against the headboard of the hotel bed, they make it clear that they are bored!

September at Lake Arrowhead

This was the second time we went to Lake Arrowhead. We stayed at the Lake arrowhead Resort in a hotel room facing the lake. It was more fun this time, since we got to go to the Lake Arrowhead Village, where the kids played at the playground, fed ducks and had a ride.

More at Our Back Patio

These are some of the pictures of our kids taken a while ago when they played at our back patio. It's certainly getting cooler.
