Che Family Fun

Back in October, we took our second annual Che family vacation with my sisters and brothers in-laws. This time, we rented a house in Allyn, Washington located on the Kitsap Peninsula.. The house was perfect. Plenty of room for us all. Located right on the beach where we could go fishing and clamming.

 Starting off the vacation right!

Dao opted to go fishing.


He LOVES to fish!

 Umm.... It didn't even matter that it was the tiniest fish ever. It made him so happy to catch one. :)

 The weather was absolutely beautiful! We went for a walk, but the tide was high and the beach was super rocky. 

       Skippin' rocks. 

The pier.


  A dock.



 B and Kaylin contemplated becoming stowaways and living a dangerous life at sea. But they quickly decided it was a bad idea. 

   Dao found a rain boot and spent the next hour searching for it's mate. 

 Playing fetch. 

       Basking in the sun.

     Kaylin takes every opportunity to be "tall". (haha!)


 Emma found many cool looking rocks. (Notice in the background that Dan is recognizing how extremely tall Kaylin is.)

 He asked for a picture with his boot before we made him throw it in the trash. He tried to bet us all that he would find the mate before the weekend was up. He never found it.

  There is never a bad time to yo-yo. 

 "Guard dog", Chloe is watching Haley's back while she checks out dead things on the beach.

      A pretty park.

 Clamming!

Clams!

    Low tide.

  To say that she was covered in sand is an understatement.


       She found one!

   It was a family affair.



   A couple of worn out doggies. 

  We found Oysters too! Dao shucked his first Oyster ever. 

Then, he made Bryan shuck his first Oyster ever. 

 Haley and Emma had saved up money to get new ipod touchs, so we headed South to Portland to buy them and save money on taxes. This sign cracks me up!

 I can't go to Portland without going to VooDoo!


   Linh got the VooDoo man and he was filled with jelly!

      We brought some home too!

      I LOVE these trips, and hope we continue doing them for years to come!

It's All About The Bunny Ears

As you know, I am way behind on blogging! So I am going to be posting some things that happened to us awhile ago.
Here goes...

 The Easter Bunny came to our house and brought some goodies for the girls.

Another sign that our girls are growing up...Not very many toys any more. Just movies and lots of candy.



As usual...The three youngest girls were up at the crack of dawn to check out the loot. They had to wake up big sis, Haley because they felt she was missing out. 

 He brought Pop Rocks! That's right, at 7:30am the girls were beginning their sugar high and you better believe they kept it going all.day.long.

 I put cheddar bunnies and jelly beans in bowls on the table for snacks while waiting for brunch. Payton bit the jelly beans and stuck them to the cheddar bunnies to make motorcycle riding bunnies! haha! Love it!

 I put out a basket of bunny ears and surprisingly the adults were the first to grab them and put them on. Baby sis, Xuan, wore them all day!

      My big sis, Robin, sported them for most the day too!

We didn't get around to painting eggs until Easter morning.

For $5 at Target, I bought an egg spinner that gives the eggs a tie dye look. The kids really enjoyed spinning it! 

It was a little messy, but lots of fun! 

Mushu and Chloe= Not love forever. She barely tolerates him! haha!
(p.s. Proof that Haley even wore the ears!)

Robin made the cutest "birds nests" out of fried chow mien noodles and Peanut Butter, then gave the kids jelly beans and other treats to use as "eggs" in the nest. 
Goo-Goo Xuan decided she needed to get her nails done, and she invited the girls! She got Mani's and Pedi's for all four of them!

(Haley's nails)
This was such a special and exciting treat because Haley was the only one who had ever gone so the three youngest were over the moon with happiness!

 When it was all said and done, Linh  and Xuan did some serious online dress shopping. They both have weddings in the near future, and we are super excited!
