Sometimes I felt people around me felt tired of me because I kept asking 'zhe shi sha?"(what is this?) for everything.

Saturday, Dad drove us to visit George Bush's childhood home at Midland. Dad and Mom, Laolao and Laoye enjoyed visiting the house. We also went to a children musuem, there.
Friday morning, Mom also took us to the appartment they lived when I was born. I enjoyed climbing the stairs there. Even though I only lived there for 3 months, I seemed to have some attachment to it. haha..

As the fall is coming, we went to some activities almost every Saturday. Certainly, those activities help us--Didi and me to explore the beautiful world and help Laolao and Laoye to see more "America" before they leave.
We went to County Fair, Caprock and a pumpkin patch.

Tonight's coversation between Laolao and me
scene: Dad took me to Walmart in the evening. Laolao didn't know where we went. But after we came back, she overheard my trip to the Walmart from Mom.
Laolao: enqi, nimen gangcai pao woerma qu la? (literally: you just now ran to Walmart? implied meaning: you just now went to Walmart?)---Pao3 dongbei dielact, here means qu4 (go)
Enqi: baba kaiche qu de. (Literally: Dad drove a car. Implied meaning: we didn't run to Walmart, we drove there.)
Language is amazing. Isn't it?
Recently, I watched a DVD ---meeting the Pingu--telling some stories about a little pingu and her/his family. In the story, there are Dad, Mommy, Pingu and pinga. After I watched that DVD, I named myself Pingu, and didi Pinga.
These days, I am practicing "qi3lai2"--- up. I need more practice. Sometime I even say "zuo4( sit) qilai. But if I say "zhan4 (stand) qilai, that is right.
Then also the other "lai2",chu1lai2le--come out hui2lai2le--come back
Plus: my English is in the simple sentence stage. haha...

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!! This year,we celebrate with Laolao and Laoye and didi. It is fun. We took a picture with the moon. but this year, the moon is a little shy---she sometimes hid behind the cloud, sometimes, she just showed half of her face. haha..
We bought mooncakes. Dad even bought one "pig" mooncake. It is cute.

Some are the ones we took when Didi was 7 months old. Some are the ones that we took when Dad wore the gown for his students' graduation. One is with Maomao. Right now Didi can chase Maomao around. It seems that the day was just yesterday when Maomao came to our home, I chased hime around and grabed his tail. haha..

The last two Saturdays, we were quite busy but we had a wonderful time. We went to a zoo in Abilene at Labour Day weekend and went to an orchard with Chinese Church to pick up apples. The trips are very meaningful to us.
Last year, my parents and I went to a zoo when we were in Austrilia, but then I didn't have too much memory,yet, so it was not too real and interactive to me. But this trip, it was quite different, I could really connect the animals from the pictures with the ones in the real life. Even though this zoo is much much smaller than the OZ one, I still enjoyed very much, especially I made friends with other visitors while we walked around. I could show them how to sigh the crocodiles and the other animals,trying to practice my sign language and English,too, certainly, if I still couldn't make them understood, I would use my Chinese. hahaha...
Picking-up apples from the trees were really fun. There were so many many apples on the trees, even there were a lot and a lot apples on the ground. We picked the ones that looked ripe and tasted. We also bought a lot. I enjoyed being taken pictures while I was sitting in the tree.
Oh, in fact, we also went to a Winery nearby. We all expected to see more grapes or even have a chance to pick up grapes, but it turned out that they just had a very small grape filed, they mostly bought grapes. But we, in fact, just my parents and Laoye,not Laolao, didi and I, did taste the wines. They bought two bottles they thought good.
