This weekend we celebrated Chinese New Year. On Saturday morning, we decorated the house. Then we introduced Lanhua to the beach, swings,the Mission Beach boardwalk and sushi served on floating boats. It's amazing to watch her experience things for the first time. Although the boardwalk was rich with Southern California's classic beach characters and she really likes sushi (especially when she can grab it off rotating floating devices), we think her favorite event on Saturday was swinging at the playground.
Sunday's celebration began with a family outing (dogs included) to Fiesta Island on Mission Bay. She had a blast watching Milt and Harper play along the shore. She collected shells, played Frisbee and hiked up and down dirt hills - apparently for the first time judging from the screams during her descents. Sunday afternoon our friends Nicole, Crew, Jeff, Anya, Severin and Ellie came over for New Year festivities in our backyard. Lanhua had fun playing with the kids, as well as Jeff and Steve. We exchanged red envelopes, ate bland Chinese candy and cooked-up some hot dogs on the grill, San Diego style.
Attached are a few photos of Lanhua and her dad. It's tough getting a picture of her, but she's never too far from Pop.
