We were in the States for 5 weeks total. On our tour we visited Tacoma, Olympia, Seattle, Port Townsend, Ocean Shores, Third Beach, Whidbey Island, and Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was so amazing to see all our loved ones! We felt so much love — our hearts are full to the brim. Lots of gratitude to everyone who hosted our couch-surfing family of five. It was a treat to snuggle my youngest four nieces and nephews. Celeste and I created a special bond playing board games and her bossing me around (telling me where to carry her to).

I love to dance! My favorite music to dance to is when my brother Weston aka DJ Lunch Lady is DJ-ing. Here are some dancing videos from this summer.

Dancing at Chin Family Reunion
Every summer our Chin side of the family has a reunion, usually somewhere on the Washington coast. I think we are now up to 52 members of the Chin clan. We like to do a mannequin challenge every year. Here is this year’s (taken by Libby):
