Pacific Science Center (Seattle)

My favorite part about Science Centers are the interactive displays.  The Pacific Science Center had lots of interactive, hands-on displays! We all had a great time at the Science Center. The Well-body Academy of Health and Wellness is an exhibit for kids that teaches you how to take care of your body and stay in good health. There are four areas in the Well-body exhibit: Food and Nutrition, Sleep, Exercise, and Hygiene. At the Food and Nutrition  area, we learned to eat healthy foods and the correct amount of Calories. In the Sleep  Exhibit, I learned that we need to sleep enough. Exercise is very important for health. Hygiene Let's go upstairs to the WELLBODY LOFT! Exercise well, Eat well, Sleep well, Wash well, and LIVE well! The Age Your Face  Display showed you the bad effects of smoking, UV exposure, and obesity on aging. Below is Theodore at the  Age Your Face  Display: On the left is how Theodore would normally look a...

Canada!

On the Road On July 18th, we drove from Seattle to Canada. The drive was about 5 hours. On the road there, Theodore entertained us with stories. Theodore tells stories on the car In Canada We stayed in an Airbnb in Surrey, Canada. Surrey is a city near Vancouver. There were lots of trees around the house. It was like living in the woods. The front "yard" This is Anabel in the front yard: Anabel next to the trees This is our car next to the house. The house looks a lot like a cabin.  The Trampoline There was a trampoline in the backyard. It was our favorite part of the house. Theodore on the trampoline We found a giant bug in the house and let it go on the trampoline. Theodore, Anabel, and Catherine did lots of front-tucks and back-tucks on the trampoline. Anabel doing a front-tuck on the trampoline Theodore on the trampoline Grace (me) on the trampoline Theodore and Anabel on the trampoline Daddy a...

Multnomah Falls

     Since Multnomah Falls is really close to Bonneville Dam, we went there after we visited Bonneville Dam. Multnomah Falls, at a distance, after we parked our car. We went to the Visitor Center and did the Junior Ranger Program.  I also talked with a volunteer worker who was at the desk.  He was an old man, and he had been volunteering since 1989.      "You should really go on the bridge," he said, "It only takes 5 minutes to walk up there."      He continued, "If it takes 5 minutes to get up there, how long do you suppose it will take to get down?"      Without thinking, I said, "Well, it takes 5 minute to get to the bridge, but if you jump down, I think it will only take a few seconds."      I continued, after a short pause, "But, of course, we won't jump.  We'll probably take the same trail back down.  I suppose that will be about 5 minutes too." The Bridge, and the waterf...

Sacramento: Family Conference

     This year, our family went to the Family Conference in Sacramento.  This year's theme was "Trust in the LORD".  My younger sister went to a program called "PRE-EMBASSY", and I went to COMMIT in the morning and Student Sessions in the afternoon.  The rest of our family attended the General Session. Tuesday      On the first day of the conference, we registered at around 5:00pm and listened to a few talks that night. Wednesday      On the first day of COMMIT, we learned a song called "Still, my soul be still", which we practiced every day and sang at the end of the Conference.  Also, we each received our COMMIT booklet.  Inside the booklet, there were devotionals for each day at the conference and pages for notes. This is the COMMIT booklet.      We listened to two talks the first day.  The first one was about prayer and spending time with the Lord.  The second one was about...

Playgrounds in Israel

We got to visit lots of playgrounds in Israel! They are different from the ones in the U.S. and they are really fun! This playground was in the Old City, Jerusalem.  The swing was really fun! The park was really fun! You could slide down and also climb up! Sliding down! There were also two long blue slides! We also got to visit two parks in Tel Aviv. The first park was like an amusement park. It had like 20+ swings! This park also had two of the swings that we saw in Jerusalem! This park also had a giant playground with at least 12 slides! There was something that you could go on and it would take you down to the ground! Near this park in Tel Aviv was another park. It was really fun, too. On our last night in Tel Aviv, we also visited a park next to the beach! I hope you had a great time reading this post!

At the Beach in San Diego!

Weekend family trip to San Diego! At the beach... Seashells... Scenery... "The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness,  The world and those who dwell therein.  For He has founded it upon the seas,  And established it upon the waters." -Psalm 24:1-2 There was a hole in the ground that was connected to the ocean. There was a stream in it, and water flowed in and out with the waves.  It was pretty wide - maybe 3 or 4 feet at its width. Catherine decided to go for a challenge and jumped across! Tide pools... There were lots of plants, snails, and little crabs in the tide pools.  I wrote my name in the sand, just for fun. Everything in God's creation is so unique! I love the way the rocks at the beach are shaped - in some places they are smooth, and in other places they are jagged.  A little crab hiding underneath the rock: Uniquely shaped rocks: Seagull flying o...

The night before our flight

On Monday, the day before we would leave for California, we (I and my two younger siblings) finished packing and decided to go for a walk since we would be leaving soon.  In was summer in Beijing, and there were many cicadas in the trees, like usual. Our friend helped us to take care of the tarantula for the time we would be gone, and another friend took care of our turtle.  Even though we didn't need to catch bugs for our tarantula to eat, we decided to catch some anyway and then let them go. Since we went out at night, many tiny bugs were on the lights.  They were fun to watch and play with. This is us watching the light with the bugs. When we were walking, we something flying in the air. I thought it was a moth, but it wasn't. My brother caught it with a plastic box and we found out that it was a beetle. After that, we caught another beetle, which was smaller, and also put it into the box.  Since the box was full, we put the b...
