KCDA的小天地

隔天我們到海生館去玩，想讓Darlene和Angeline親眼認識海底生物，而不是在書本看到而已。雖然風還是很大，太陽公公出來跟我們打招呼，這是進去海生館裡玩的好時機！

一進到海生館，看到很多可愛海底生物的模型，Darlene和Angeline想和每一個模型照相，所以在前面花了很多時間！

到墾丁時已經是靠近吃晚餐的時間了，我們先在民宿休息一下，之後隊友的姊姊姊夫請我們到一家很新鮮很好吃又很豐富的海產店吃海產。

對於很久沒有吃到海鮮的我們來說，這真是一大享受！其實肚子已經很飽了，還是拼命想把兩年份的海鮮吃下去。

跟爸媽和妹妹下到墾丁台南去玩幾天，爸媽借到一台車，我們七個人開著一台休旅車下去玩了！

以前有一次與爸媽和妹妹一起出遊，到三義吃過客家板條，印象深刻，也覺得很好吃。這一次途中經過三義，剛好是午餐時間，所以這一次舊地重遊，又去吃了客家板條！

@ 7Shakels

We went to 7Shakels rehearsal at 11 in the morning. Mao Mao, Sharon and the band members were already rehearsal for next day’s opening concert. 樂樂gave us a very warm welcome while her little brother行行was sitting on the floor watching his parents.

The kids played hide-and-seek in the band room. Later they went to the back office to play & eat snack. Caroline and I stayed behind to watch go through their program run-down. We really admire their talent in music. We also enjoyed listening to their self-composed songs filled with great value, various styles, heart-warming and creativity.

We had to get ourselves registered in Taiwan. So we spent a 2 hours to get some documents notarized, take passport photo, and renew Caroline’s Taiwan passport. We’re able to get things done in a short amount of time. It’s quite efficient compared to where we came from.

Later we went to visit grandpa. He was hospitalized for a week for his minor stroke. He seemed very happy to see us all, but he was too tired to stay awake. The kids and I were busy eating hot dog, tea eggs, and bread we bought from 7 Eleven.

We also went to see his new place, which is only across the street from his old place. It has an elevator access. It’s a spacious, newly furnished, 3-bedroom flat. While wer were waiting for them to discuss how to setup the new place for grandpa, I had a deep respect for dad & mom who demostrated filial piety to us. We later went with dad & mom to purchase some furniture for grandpa’s new flat. They reminded me of my parents who had also done that for their parents. Now it’s my turn.

Darlene小時候很愛吃糖果，到教會時總會有人給他糖果吃，所以Darlene有一個壞習慣，每一次看到人都會跟別人要糖果。

久了之後，Darlene前面的兩顆門牙被蛀牙菌侵蝕了，需要看牙醫，不僅要抽神經，且前面要戴上銀色牙套。

While we were waiting for boarding, we had a great time playing at a toy shop. There were lots of cute little U.K. made toys.

Castles, farm house, mary-go-around, doll house and much more. We were tempted to buy them, but its price held us back. Then we went window shopping in other stores.

台語「便所」就是 廁所的意思，竟然有人把廁所和吃聯想在一想，實在有趣又噁心。不過這樣新的創意引起一些人的好奇，生意也還不錯耶！

 欣宜的爸媽要載我們到台中開會，但早上還有很多時間，天氣雖然烏雲多雲，我們還是想抓緊時間一起去玩，便計畫帶小孩到大湖採草莓。

景美夜市是陪我一起長大的夜市，從純樸到繁華，從平實到熱鬧，從零零星星的攤販，到有規模的夜市，它跟著我一起成長，不過，上次回來時，忽然發現它多了一個東西….

兩個老人、兩個小孩、一隻狗，加上兩個女人要出去玩真是不容易，動作慢得可以，而且還等來等去，到目的地時已經近中午了！
