Yang Family Reunion 2016

We convened with a clan of around 50 people in Saratoga/Cupertino/Sunnyvale/Mountain View area and had a nice, laid-back 3 night reunion this past weekend. Last reunion was in 2013 at Lake Tahoe. Everyone in the family is really nice and there are lots of kids to play with so the kids played and played all weekend.

Chopsticks-picking-up-Altoids competition

Dinner, Night #2

Tai Puo at 86

Tai Puo and Leelee

Tai Puo and great-grandkids and the back of an uncooperating Olin

"Baby Sriracha". We chose Olin to don the suit in this competition. We then stuffed him with balloons. We won at 41 balloons!


Same generation - just all sorts of different ages. I think there is a 38 year gap between oldest (Ev) and youngest (CJ).

Hot at Ponderosa Park in Sunnyvale

Tai Puo plus Olin and Leelee

Half Moon Bay beach on Day #2. TONS of whales and jumping dolphins, directly off the shore. It was an amazing sight.

Lounging on cousin Laura's couch playing Wii after swimming

Aunt May's impressive visor

Olin's new accessory - kneepads. Got them from Amazon, he likes to wear them around a good portion of the time.


Cousin Joyce transferring the egg to Leelee. We placed last in this contest.

Mal and Olin's egg transfer

Hula Hoop competition. Kids' entire bodies fit through the hula hoop so we had a strategic advantage

Baby sriracha, stuffed with balloons, dancing with this fellow contestants.

Mesmerized by great uncle (?) Benjamin's electronics. Dinner at Hai Lien's house in Cupertino on Day #3

So excited after our hula hoop competition

A perfect nest found in our hanging planter! I had wondered why these birds were always squawking about when I watered the plant (drowned the nest).

Kids doing criminal outlines on a hot Monday when the neighborhood pool was closed.

Where Dae found Olin asleep on Monday night. Olin told me the next morning it was "so cozy"

Laying new road in front of our house!
