Cheese slicer

We received a parcel last few days, and it was Prodyne cheese slicer ordered by daddy from amazon. This handmade thick beechwood cheese slicer provide smooth surface when slicing cheese. As previously, we are using knife to slice the cheese. It is not so even, and difficult to cut.
Ah ma is trying out the new cheese slicer...

Our cheese fork breakfast.

While we are trying out the cheese slicer, the two girls also wanted to have a look.

Lunch at Red Lobster

Finally, our desssert - Chocolate Wave

It is a warm, rich chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce
This is ES's favourite. We had to finish it faster so that she do not over eat!

While we were busy taking our lunch, MSLS also busy eating their biscuits and kiwi.

After lunch, daddy went to a nearby Harley Davidson's shop.

Family storytime

Last Tuesday, we went to Hillsboro public library for family storytime. It started at 6.30pm and ended at 7.15pm.

During this 45 minutes session, the storyteller, one of the staff from the library read out a few books realted to pirate ship, and she also leads the children to sing and dance with a few songs, including the wheel of the bus, head shoulder knees and toe.

There are almost 20 children for this session and they are from few months old up to 6 years old. The girls like the session and we should continue this weekly activity.

The girls were given a chop after the session and MSLS keep on showing us that they have one too, just like ES jie jie.

Oregon Zoo

We went to Oregon Zoo yesterday as daddy was still on holiday. It had been operating since mid 1880s.

 Daddy had joined as member for one year, as it will be including entrance fee for 3 adults and children. We can visit the zoo anytime as we like during these 12 months.

After the entrance, we saw this goat.

 We stopped by at the information counter, and the staff gave a dinosaur chop on ESMSLS's hand.

 One of the staff shown us the sea otter's fur.
