See you next summer!

I had a great time with my Ivy Court pals.  I will miss you and look forward to seeing you again next summer.

Camp R.E.A.L.

Water balloon flight!

We had spent 2 weeks at Camp R.E.A.L. It is a camp focusing on people with special needs.  It's very different from the camps I have been to, but I certainly had great fun.  It was a unforgettable experience for me that helped me understand people with special needs.  Leonard, the program director, and Matt, the camp director had been very nice to us making sure we were having fun.

We are leaving Evanston tomorrow.  Six weeks of camps was going so fast.  Evanston, I will be back next summer!

Arts camp 7/21-8/1

I had a great time in the 2 weeks long arts camp.  Glad to have Marjorie again as my counselor this year.  

BBQ at Auntie Wendy's house

Cook-out at Auntie Wendy's yard is one of my favorite moments every time when we are back to Evanston.  The kids have grown up, so has Lucky.  So much fun memories throughout these years.

The Field Museum

Mom's favorite museum in Chicago!  "Evolving Planet" is my #1 exhibition.

Gymnastic camp 7/14-7/25

This was my second time going to this gymnastic camp.  It's a 2-week camp from 4:30 to 6:30 pm Monday through Friday.  Although I hadn't done much gymnastics since last Fall, I have enjoyed this camp very much.  The counselor said I was very strong and tough.

Navy Pier

Navy Pier is considered one of the most popular points of interest in Chicago.  It has become so expensive, and Mom is glad that I am gradually getting over it.

Lincoln Park Zoo

Had a great time with Pika and Mika at the Lincoln Park Zoo.  Apparently, Polar Bear didn't feel too cold to come outside.  ;)

Ballet Camp at DCE 7/7-7/11

The mini camps at Dance Center Evanston is one of my favorites camps here.  This week's top is Rodeo.

Chicago Botanic Garden

We are back to Evanston again.  Yes, Chicago Botanic Garden is a must visit place within the first week upon our arrival.  We have been here so so many times but it always brings us joy and surprises every time we come. 

Alaska cruise trip (6/28-7/5)

After the cruise trip

After disembarking from the ship, we spent one day in Vancouver.  Half day in Granville Island with Ella & Lyle and the other half in Stanley Park.  If you asked me what's my most impressive thing about the city, I would say fresh air and abundant greens. 

Prior to the cruise trip

We have arrived in Richmond, BC, Canada to get ready for the Alaska cruise.  We woke up very early due to jet lag and got to enjoy the quiet time in Richmond.

with Megan & Jewel

Before heading to Canada/USA, we got together with my old time pals Megan and Jewel again.

蘇荷兒童美術館

We finally made a trip to 蘇荷兒童美術館 after being their student in Shanghai classroom for 1.5 years.  We were so lucky to meet 香蕉皮老師, and she gave us a very thorough tour.  What a fun place!
