Oh the places you'll go...

Samantha has been quite the traveler over the past few weeks, covering many destinations in the month of February alone.

Here she is hanging out in Sacramento at Ong Ba Ngoai's house...


Rockin' out on the horse with her 2 piggy friends...


Samantha took her first (probably of many) Tahoe trip and conditions were perfect. Daddy took a day off and Ong Ba Ngoai also came along to enjoy the day in the snow. No sleds could be found so Ong Ngoai was resourceful and used this shopping bag...



Daddy took a break from snowboarding and went sledding down the hill with Samantha on his board. Much faster than the bag, but no brakes!




Finally we all went tubing, here is Samantha and Daddy coming around the curve...


Ong Ba Ngoai even got in on the action...





Here is Samantha in Union City at Ba Di's house having an early birthday celebration for Cau Jr and also celebrating the New Year. Xin Nian Kuai Le! Chuc Mung Nam Moi!


All candles are fair game, even if they are not hers...


So many toys to play with at Uncle Teddy and Thierry's house, might as well load up on all of them at once...



"Back away from the red envelope!!"


Next we went back across to the East and up to Orlando to meet with NaiNai and YeYe at Disney World. Here we are on the ferry going over to Magic Kingdom...


Of course Dumbo, not once, but twice...


A quick photo with Alice after riding the Mad Tea Party...


In the driver's seat at Mommy's favorite ride, the Tomorrowland Indy Speedway...


Another photo op at Minnie Mouse's house in her backyard...


On Main Street with the Wishes parade coming through in the background...


On Peter Pan's flight...


A little less impressive when the flash illuminates everything...


Finally back home, we spent a morning in our own backyard at the beach...


"Bye, I'm heading into the water!"



Scavenging for shells...


...found some nice ones...


...snack break...


...mmm, cheesy....


This weekend we took a short drive up to Boca Raton to go to the Hatsume Festival at the Morikami Museum. We saw Taiko drummers, Bonsai exhibits, and Koi fish showcases.

Run Forrest Run....

Here's a new video taken by Olivia while she and Andrew were visiting us a couple of weeks ago. I guess you can call this 'interpretive dance'....
