Summer Activities

Being a teacher, summer reading is important at any age. So I signed Gideon up for the King County Library Summer reading program for preschoolers. We already read to Gideon throughout the day and we take him to the library when we can. He loves looking at the pictures in the books and finding new ones to read with Mama and Papa. Gideon earned his prizes already and it's just the middle of July. He received a certificate of completion, glow-in-the-dark stars and these amazing glasses. Chinese Baptist Church put on a block party in the community. It was called Party on the Hill. There was an amazing turnout and many volunteers to organize it. Gideon had fun. Can't you tell by the pictures?

California Adventure

Our first california adventure was Gideon's second salon haircut. My cousin, Betty, a fantastic hair stylist in San Francisco, was kind enough to cut Gideon's hair. It was the best time for us but maybe not the best time for Gideon, aka too close to his nap time. Betty did an amazing job layering his hair for maximum cool relief. It's growing out very nicely and it's not too long just yet for his next haircut.





The next adventure was going to a swimming pool for the first time. I wanted to make sure that Gideon went to an outdoor pool and not an indoor pool for his first time. He liked the water and he was very interested in the kids nearby. He splashed the water towards the end.





The next adventure was family photo times. There were many of them. Our first fun picture was matching T-shirts from Auntie Jaime.
