Little Miss Piggy

Costume Week

This was a busy past 2 weeks for little Mackenzie. On the weekend of 20th, we went to a pumpkin patch on El Camino in Sunnyvale.






On Friday, Oct 2, went to Lemos in Half Moon Bay, where they had a little pumpkin patch, pet feeding, train ride, and other fun activities.

Then we went to the pumpkin patch where Mackenzie made the final call on which pumpkins to go with.















Then on Saturday, Oct 27th, we had the Harvest Festival at our church. Here you see Piglet (Mackenzie) hanging out with friends, Elmo (Ashley) and Chicken (Ethan).

Piglet also met up with giant Pooh here at the festival. It looks like Pooh has been taking Bear Growth Hormones here as he stands 6ft tall compared to 2ft for Piglet.

And here Piglet meets her 8-armed friend, Miss Octopus (Elenora).

Sunday, we went to a friend's to carve our pumpkins. While parents did the carving, Mackenzie decided to kick back here on a bench with her pumpkin.

Then finally, on Halloween night, we had the Chang kids over to go trick or treatin'. The kids had a blast in their costumes. Here, we see Piglet (Mackenzie) with Ladybug (Kylie), Monkey (Jace) and Lion (Ryland).

"Yao Yao Toe"

Baby Mackenzie and Daddy learned some new chinese words last night with Grandma and Grandpa via video conferencing. Here is MJ demonstrating what "Yao Yao Toe" means (Shake Your Head).

Make Me Laugh

Here's Daddy doing anything he can to get a laugh out of Mackenzie.

Mini-Vacation to Oregon

This past weekend, the Wongs took their first family trip. Disneyland? Nah...Mackenzie's too young. Hawaii? Hmm....not ready to brave the 5-hour flight yet. So we decided to go to Oregon. What's there you may ask. We heard from a friend about a gorgeous little coastal town called Cannon Beach in Oregon. It was a quaint little town where it was basically just one main street, Hemlock that served as downtown. There were cute toy stores, art & gallery shops, good restaurants. If you are looking for a Starbucks at the corner, you're not going to find it here.

The picture on the right is taken at Cannon Beach. The rock is called, Haystack Rock (because of it's shape).

Here are some more pix of Cannon Beach (these are panos, which I have stitched together with a series of overlapping pictures)




We also went to take a look at Multnomah Falls, which is the 2nd tallest year-round waterfall in the nation.














All of this made for a very nice and relaxing mini-vacation. Mackenzie had a blast, and she was very good throughout the trip. Mom and Dad had to improvise a few times....like providing entertainment for her while waiting for our flight at the airport, giving her a bath with the available resources, and hotel room games. Can't wait until our next vacation!

Mac & Grandma

Mac gives her roar of approval as she prepares to spend the day with Grandma.

Crusin' Along

Here's Mackenzie taking big strides in learning how to walk.
