First Family Trip of 2 + 2 + 2!

2 of us, with our 2 girls and my in laws ^^

Day 1

Strawberry farm

We plucked 100 TWD worth of fresh strawberries by ourselves from the farm...  Sweetest strawberries when it's freshly harvested!

480 TWD worth of Gigangtic "small" size strawberry ice... Nice~*

Lunch with cat fight at 魔法庄园... Lunch was decent, breeze was pleasant, view was fantastic.

Hotpot dinner nearby Little Swiss garden which gave us 3 complimentary tickets to the garden! We headed back to garden the next day and found that there's really nothing much in it...

A wonderful stay at Euro Villa... Beautiful garden wth fabulous view... Absolutely lovely... Oh, and they provided a surprise tea break ^^

Day 2

Cingjing Sheep Farm, my most anticipated place of attraction at Cingjing and also the worst nightmare... Why on earth did we pay to climb the hills when our driver got to see more sheep at his carpark. Very funny!!! It was good actually just that I had no stamina to keep up with the trekking...

Little Swiss garden with really nothing much... I didn't even have pic to share >,<

Fengjia Night Market at Taichung was a really big sector of night market having so many good food... If u love Yam, u gotta love Taiwan. Everywhere u go, u see yam this... Yam that... So I had fried yam balls, the QQ yam balls dessert, freshly blended ice yam milk... Holy heaven of tasty yam ^^

We only visited fengjia night market during our stay at Taichung. That's ok... Traveling had been too exhausting for everyone. Before I forgot, pls allow me to recommend the Lavida Hotel which is really near to the night market... Cool hotel... So GOOD!!!

Day 3

We made a trip to Jiufen and Shifen... Taiwan's places of attractions surely have plenty of old street (老街). This was our second visit to Jiufen but first to Shifen. Beautiful historical railway track, which is still in operation... The interesting thing was watching the others fly the 天灯 and on the other side of the hill, watching those 天灯 caught into fire and fell somewhere...

Soon before dinner, we checked into Ximending CityInn Plus, which was very near to Ximen station. Couldn't fight with Lavida but its at Ximending! So we ended our third day eat, eat and eat! +_+

Day 4

台北地下街, Taipei 101 shopping mall

Day 5

淡水老街, 士林夜市

Day 6

成品书局. Renee fell sick, so we cancelled our zoo trip and stayed in the hotel room to catch some rest ~,~

扶老携幼到台湾来的这几天之旅，我的感觉就是。。。

麻

再来是。。。

喘

最后是。。。

HOLD 住

还好大女儿千里行胜读万卷书；一夜长大，乖巧无比。只要她不是睡的，一般都可以沟通，都在掌控之中。

小女儿，一放下就跑，抱起来就叫，叫完就挣扎，投降不到5秒又出绝招被放下，一放下又跑。

这几天来，抱着10-15公斤到处奔走。手麻了。

楼梯很多，不是上就是下。喘垮了。

哪里都是机车，斑马线不停下。时不时都要把孩子们 HOLD 住。

最怕的是。她们上完厕所就想开门往外奔。。。可是我还在用。 T__T

大女儿的台湾之旅常用词是：

臭、臭、臭。。。

小女儿的常用词是：

不要不要不要。。。

她们每天的动力来自于早晚两次的泡澡时段！两姐妹在澡池里各自拿着杯子不停的盛水，倒水，不断重复。

贴心的女儿

场地： 家里

喂着小女儿吃她爱吃的Jelly时，我当着她的面假装想偷吃一口。

小女儿的反应是：“妈妈，吃！”  还把汤匙硬塞到我嘴里。

小小年纪的她就懂得分享，我感到万分感动！

场地：Toastbox

我点了一杯Milo让女儿们一起喝。大女儿只喝了一半便跟爸爸说要把剩下的一半都留给妈妈喝。

妈妈被妳感动了哟！这天晚上的MILO格外甜！

（之前在点茶水时，小女儿意外被之前的顾客踩了一脚，哭得稀里哗啦。收银员后来还免费加了一个鸡蛋糕让小孩们吃。处处有温情。）

The reason why I cannot study

Every time when I do online study, I ended up doing online shopping.

Phoebe lost and found

Don't panicked!

Lulu jumped out of the bed when he suddenly woke up and didn't see Phoebe in her bed, next to him.

He quickly struggled his way out of our cramps room and found Phoebe sleeping next to her sister, on the other side of our divider wall.

Again, don't panick... I was talking about our little girl who had gone out of sight in the same room... And nope, I didn't shift her... She just moved ard on her own. Hahaha!!

Our funny girl!!!

Quit sarong project

Phoebe is 1 year 7 months old now and she had been turning in using rocking sarong for naps and night bedtime.

We hardly had opportunities to train her to quit sarong... So our project starts today when she's too drained from a lunch outing.

Nope, she didn't fall asleep immediately or shortly... She tortured herself and her dad who was trying to co-sleep with her.

4 hours had passed after her usual nap time and she's struggling to be soothed to sleep... So, I tried my best knowledge to help... Bottle, pat on her tighs... A bit of boring weird songs... And finally, she couldn't take her heavy lids anymore!

Sorry but it's all for your own good. No more sarong when you are a grown up girl, ok? Good girl for napping on the mattress ^,^
