Big 50!

I had my 50th birthday party last Saturday. We had about 50 people in the house. Lots of food and soft drinks. Logan and I worked hard to get the party prepared. Thanks Dear.

I am so happy that my piano teacher of 26 years came to my party. He is almost like my second dad.

Here is Brittany's first grade teacher and her fiancee and future step-daughter.

My friend and two of her four kids. The youngest one is my goddaughter.

The next generation of my Wang family except Kristina who is away at her internship.

My nephew is trying to pick me up to prove that he's got strong biceps.

Some of Brittany's friends and my friends who stayed late.

Kristina's Internship

This summer, Kristina is going to the Farallon Islands for her internship.

It's an eight-week program. She will be there to do a lot of sea-bird research. It's an awesome program for conservation biology. The people there live life in the most basic way. They use solar energy, collected rainwater, twice-a-month food supply. She is going to grow a lot; she will appreciate nature and what she has in life.

While we waited for her and the other intern to shop for their food supply, Brittany and I were walking on the trails next to the office. I saw some swans on the lake.

The night before she got on the boat for the three to five hour ride to Farallon, we all went to eat at downtown Petaluma. She looks tired, but she is excited and anxious.

This is a priceless picture because of the way the picture was taken. Logan usually doesn't smile that way. When he did, Brittany and I thought it was really funny and I couldn't stop laughing.

At 6:00 AM, Kristina finished loading all the supplies and was ready to head to the dock for the boat ride. We wish her a great experience that enriches her life and encourages her to learn more.

Kristina and Zach

Kristina and her boyfriend, Zach. He is also a student at Pomona. They look very cute together.

They were playing Guitar Hero on the Wii. Zach was pretty good at it and Kristina wasn't too bad either. Well, Zach won more battles.

Every time my brother, Bob, visits the Bay Area, my other brother, Dickson, will try to visit too. (From L to R: Bob, Dickson, Bob's son, Zong-Kang, Me, my sister-in-law, Helen, Bob's daughter, Angel, and Brittany)

The next day, Dickson's son, Michael, visited us too.

Kristina finishing sophomore year

Kristina finished her sophomore year at Pomona. Whew!

She and her friends drove from Pomona to Jasmine's house at San Diego for two days of fun. Then they drove seven hours to our place. I took them and Brittany out for dinner at Macaroni Grill. Then the other girls headed North to Seattle.

Kristina brought back her hamster, "Kubla Khan". She put Kubla with Brittany's hamster, "Penelope" on the floor. Kubla liked to follow Penny. We eventually seperated them after twelve minutes because Kubla started to bite Penny.
