A staycation with some fitness activities.

The whole summer.

The whole world to us this summer.

When the geese are out

July 31, 2020

Another day kayaking at the Skokie Lagoons. Only this time we get to see our nature friends sunbathing in style.

Yesterday once more

July 18, 2020

These model race cars were intended as a way to revive mommy’s own childhood memory. The skews, the grease, the small but powerful motor, and the click into place… Everything felt like slowly coming into sight from a distance.

Kayak

July 11, 2020

Whoa! It’s been a year since we last came out to the Lagoons. Our little guy is one year older now, learning to paddle by himself!

Yeah, the pandemic, is all it takes to make you own a kayak instead of renting one.

Solar Ostrich

June 14, 2020

This robotic kit was a gift from his grandparents a year ago, when he couldn’t do much of it without our help. Then I put it way and decide to wait for a few more years till he’s ready. Just the other day, after I accidentally mentioned it, he asked us to cut out the pieces for him. And the next morning, he came back with the first model.

This ostrich is the fourth in the series.

Miami, after 4 years

January 6, 2020

Same places, the sea, the beach, the pool, the playground. Just that Randall has grown 4 years older. The cuteness of little baby Randall 5 years ago or toddler Randall 4 years ago is now replaced by enthusiasm in swimming.

Well, the time in the pool has been well spent, for he is now one level up in his swimming class. Hurray!

More than just the beach

January 6, 2020

Thanks to those less beach-friendly days, being either a little too hot or a little too chilly, we got a chance to do something different, although the involvement of wetness stays the same. Randall is now no longer scared of that water park as he was years ago, but he does wish it was bigger.

The Seaquarium is rather small but fun. Aside from watching all the sea animal shows (some of them twice), Randall has also won a water gun battle and completed his first rope course.
