My day ~

Terminator Salvation is good movie but not the best. It is almost identical to the first one & just different special effects, plot & story. Sam Worthington is very good in this movie. I think Christian Bale is good but looks like he didn't feel so motivate on working in this movie. Beside they focus more on Sam Worthington than Christian Bale ~ they had to have someone famous in the movie & Bale was available to do it. I love Bale in Batman & I prefer him in Batman than Terminator.

Mike bought me cutest bag for my cross stitch project & I love it. He knows I don't like my cross stitch tote bag anymore & I always want a new one. I just haven't found the right one til he did. He was shopping around in Wal-Mart & came across this Jackie (Jacqueline Savage McFee) Fashion Laptop Tote. I love the colors & so perfect. They had Accessory Clutch bag too which is perfect for my scissor & threads. As you can see I'm working on JBW's Love for a friend of mine who's getting married.



Here's my newest threads storage. I had to change my storage because my old ones were too heavy & bulky to pull down from the closet shelves. It's easier with this new storage. Just pull out the drawer & look thru specific number id to find my threads.






Angels & Demons ~


We saw that movie with Bry & Svea. I wasn't happy with the movie. I love the book so much. I couldn't wait for the movie to come out & it was good movie; overall the book is the best. I love Da Vinci Code movie too & haven't read the book yet. Mike's friend told us that the book is way better than the movie. So I gotta pick up the book.
My sis in law, Lisa, told me that the movie, Marley & Me, was okay & she love the book very much. She said the movie doesn't do its justice & you should read the book over the movie.
We are going to see Terminator Salvation today. Mike want to see this movie after hearing his friends' reviews. We are going to our fave's restaurant, Zia's, for lunch. I love Christian Bale but one of his friend said he was bad acting in that movie.

Day @ Ocean City

Here's my Mike.
Sarah is in white tank top & Faith's in blue tank top











Where am I? I'm in Lankford Hotel with ladies. We are stitching the night away. They were out front of me & I keep looking at them out of window to see all the fun they're having.

At Rehoboth Beach & Sophie's first ride

Here we are at Rehoboth Beach/Boardwalk, DE. We went there after visiting my parents.

Here's Sarah on Merry-Go-Around

Here's Faith

Oh my goodness! Sophie's first ride. She's expert already. LOL
She knows how to hold on & in this pic of her expression, we called her grouch old man. LOL

Our day @ Maryland Zoo

I love this zoo & so perfect for little ones. Philadelphia Zoo is the best zoo on east coast & they have many animals & lot of walking to do. They have huge children's zoo & so many things to do & have fun. They have huge tree that you go in to look around & climb to the top (spiral staircase). Girls would go slide down from the top but as for parents, they can slide or walk down the stairs. They have huge wooden bridge & make you feel like you're in the middle of jungle. The bridge do swing back/forth but for some people who doesn't want to go on it can take detour. They had couple of caves. One cave lead you to go watch otters swim above you in the glass window tunnel. Mike scared the girls with turtle statue. We warned them to be careful or he will bite. So girls wouldn't go near the turtle. Mike scared them by screaming that the turtle bit him. LOL Sarah freaked out & laughed afterward. They also have maze of decks to watch birds, ducks, turtles & fishes more. They have cute lily pads where kids can jump on them in the water. It was rainy that day but light showers. We were about to finish up on seeing the last animal & the rain came down so hard. We were lucky.



At the entrance of the zoo ~




I had to pick up Faith but I did with Sarah after this picture. They couldn't see lion & lioness because they have no step up for them to look thru the window.


Lots of animals are sleeping that day due to rainy weather.


Oh my fave animals ~ girls were so excited for me to see the elephants.
Goofy Mike & made girls laughed


Display case of how they capture polar bear.



Beautiful giraffees ~ they're trying to find shelter from the rain.


This one is unusual ~ that giraffee watched us the whole time. Girls love that.

Here's beautiful rhino ~ he's scratching his horn on the tree

Enjoy the view of penguins ~ Happy Feet!! Girls dance away after seeing them.
Bunch of zebras & they were so excited to see them.

Many animals are sleepy that day!! Hope they had good nap that day
We went to Annapolis Mall to reward girls for their good behaviors since it's their first time ~ no stroller or wagon. So we went to Build-A-Bear shop & they both picked pink hearts bears. I will upload up close pic of their dolls. Sarah named hers, Telly Bear & Faith named hers, Princess Bear.
Giving their bears a bath. Boy did they fight over pedal to turn on the blow dryer. LOL

Our day @ Dutch Wonderland

We had so much fun while we were there. Girls love roller coaster, log water ride & many more. They're outgrow the kiddie rides. They were upset that they couldn't go on the huge roller coaster because they were one inch shorter. So I took the girls on log water ride to cheer them up & it worked. Normally we don't go to water ride because of our hearing aids & cellphones. Mike wait for us & we went on it. We watched the show & it's about swimming pool, princess & prince. LOL They dived/jump into the pool. They would tried to jump closer to the edge of pool to splash at us. We sat up 6 rows behind & out of splash zone but I moved girls onto 5th row & they got splash on. They laughed but Faith moved back up. LOL Girls enjoy the show.

Looking alligator in the creek. It's entrance of amusement park

Fun thing for girls to do & I bent it to squirt in girls' faces. They said bad mommy. LOL


Here we are in log ride. Girls enjoy it very much & don't get wet. I think it's because we aren't heavy enough to get splash on. LOL


Here's Duke the dragon. Sarah freaked out (yellow shirt) & Faith adore him. I told Sarah that he isn't gonna hurt you. She finally convinced that she won't get hurt.


Here's view of huge roller coaster that girls couldn't go on. They love that fun slide & long climb to the top. They went on several times & always want me to go with them.


Their first ride in the park. They said it's cool & now they said nah! LOL They prefer bigger & faster rides.



Family portrait. Don't mind me!! My hair is in shambles & I don't have time to tend to myself while girls are having fun. LOL

We couldn't leave the park without them meet the princess. Girls were so happy & ran to hug her. LOL
At the park, I got customers upset & the ride was shut down til they have someone to look at. What happened was we went on it first time & it was fun. Girls want to go back on it & we went back on it again right before we leave the park. So...Faith was with me & we noticed that the turtle isn't spinning as it should've. I thought it might be from my seating position but it wasn't. I got concerned & I noticed it's about time that the ride should be ending. The turtle spin too fast while everyone was slowing down & I had to hold Faith back because she could slide off the seat. Then the turtle slow down but pick up fast again & no one noticed the problem. Faith said to me what's wrong with turtle? I said he's broken. When the ride stopped, everyone stopped right away but the turtle keep swinging back & forth & felt like the chain is broken. Faith want to get up but I wouldn't let her til the turtle stop. Everyone was already off except for us. When we were leaving, I told the lady who is in charge of the ride at the exit & told her about the problem. The lady told customers that the ride would be close temporary til someone come out to look & everyone grumpy about it. Mike said look at people & they're upset with you. I told him that I don't want anyone to get hurt & we were lucky. There are many kids at the park that day when they arrived in late afternoon.



I forgot to add that Mike got sick in late afternoon. LOL Poor Mike.
