Tsai Family of the Parklands

The Wang family visited us on August 20.  We had a fun time at the ice skating rink and ping pong practice hall.  We also enjoyed a hot pot meal together.

Our family's first trip to Assateague State Park took place on August 19.  We pitched our tent at our campsite G2.  At first, the wild horses were grazing there along with a buck, but they went away eventually.  The kids went to the beach while we set up the tent.  Then we tried to heat up noodles, but the propane stove would not light.  So, with so many mosquito bites, we went into the tent and talked.  During the night, drops of dew or sea water splashed very infrequently on our faces. At 5:30am, I awoke and walked to the beach.  The scene looked so surreal, like the underground Journey to the Center of the earth, with an orange sun that one could view shining through cloudy skies onto a slightly darkened beach.  Later I came back with Megan and then Melinda.  We saw dolphins in the distance.  We cleaned camp before the 11am deadline.  Before going home, the kids rode on their traditional Go Karts and went to the arcade.  Then we walked around the Boardwalk and headed home.  Thu

An unexpected visitor, an acquaintance of Li-Fang, Chang Lo Shou Feng, from Xinzu, Taiwan, attended our branch meetings on August 15.  She came to our home after church. visit us with us.

Before the Fugal's moved west, we were lucky to have them over dinner one last time on August 10.  Adam and Sophy brought Joanna.
