Taipei Day at the Beach 1

we had the most beautiful sunny day to spend at a beach in Taipei in between our doctors visits. It wasn't necessarily a white sandy beach but there was tons of dark sand to play in and small waves for the kids to jump. They ran and played for hours, they had sooo much fun! It was such a gift to see them having so much fun!

Evie Joy loved laying and rolling in the sand...she was such a mess! Then she'd run around trying to wipe herself on me saying "towel" like i was her "towel"!

they helped a little on daddy's sand castle...

above- EJ is hilarious- these Chinese kids were playing and she saw this huge pile of dirt, thought it was a slide, jumped on it saying "did it!" they were scared and ran off to their mom, ha ha!

i took tons of pictures since it was such a great time so more to come soon!

evie joy dancing with mommy at the square

hahaha we have no idea what we are doing, but we sure are having fun! this is just a little tid bit of what happens every afternoon and night time on every square corner where we live!

we love our mimi & poppe!

this was a great shot before jo threw up that day all over the taxi and mommy and daddy and had to of course change his sweet outfit :)

a little of the dinosaur museum with poppe until the batteries died

so me, poppe and daddy went to the dinosaur museum about an hour from my house

so this was some of our day

the battery in daddy's camera died a little early

but we had a good time

and we were super thankful for a fun day with poppe

poppe said that josiah only had a few international communication problems, ha ha....love poppe's perspective! by the time this is up, we sure will be missing you poppe!

thanks for coming to see us and for everything!

me and daddy love to go to the diego playground and play on the zipline!

it was fun doing the zipline with poppe!

poppe did it too but um, mommy didnt' get pics of that, sorry blog world friends!

i loved playing with this little boy at KFC. We threw our bouncy balls, chased them, had a blast, also chatted about who really knows what?!
