相亲相爱一家人,想在湾区一同享受美好时光?幸福的黄家庭有许多好主意与大家分享!
There are five members in the Huang family. The father grew up in Oakland and the mother is from Qingdao, China. They met each other in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and got married. It has been six years since they lived together in Oakland. They have two cute little girls, one is three years old, the other is five years old. They also have a two-month-old baby boy. As a family, they always have fun family activities that they do together; they live in harmony, having endless beautiful family memories. Their favorite family activities include visiting natural parks, zoos, museums, going to the beach, amusement parks, and attending church meetings.

红木州立公园
Redwood State Park is one of the oldest state parks in California, located north of San Francisco. The park is an ancient and magnificent redwood jungle, with lush trees and clear streams where it is suitable for children to play in the water. They enjoy hiking, relaxing, and playing here, with fresh air that makes people feel refreshed, happy, and healthy.

奥克兰动物园
小孩子特别喜欢奥克兰动物园,位于加州东湾的奥克兰市区内。动物园内有超过660多只动物,在里面还可以乘坐缆车,小火车以及景观缆车来欣赏动物与风景。

加州科学博物馆
加州科学博物馆是全美排名前十的第一座综合大自然博物馆,以海陆空生物、融合教育、展览、研究于一体。馆内设有水馆族、天文馆、美术馆以及一片热带雨林。一家人在这里可以增加科学知识,享受震撼人心的宇宙之旅、孩子们最喜欢含有两千多种鱼类生活的水底珊瑚礁世界,以及全世界最大的会呼吸的生态活屋顶。孩子们还特别喜欢感受地震和走在有蝴蝶飞舞的热带雨林中。

奥克兰儿童公园
奥克兰儿童乐园是美国最早的儿童乐园之一,里面包含有故事集,游乐设施以及动物,最让黄家庭喜欢的是,他们一起在此享受到历史悠久的儿童仙境以及充满想像力的家庭娱乐。

伟大的美国主题公园
大美洲主题公园是一个休闲乐园,也是一个水上乐园, 是旧金山的四大主题乐园之一,里面包涵了给各个年龄阶层的五十五项游乐设施。

阿拉米达海滩
黄家庭除了喜欢去这些景点之外,周末会经常去沙滩游玩,他们喜欢在阿拉米达海边上晒太阳、散步、游泳、砌沙堆及吃野餐。

奥克兰圣殿山
虽然这些著名又好玩的地方给黄家庭带来了当天的乐趣,却不能持久,所以他们一有机会,就会去奥克兰圣殿广场上散步。一进大门,就可以感觉到平安、舒适。那里种植了美丽迷人又整齐的花草树木,还有壮观的喷水池、水流、让人忘忧享乐的轻音乐以及优雅的瀑布。
在这里让他们拥有持续家庭喜乐的原因来自圣殿。对于他们来说,圣殿常常提醒他们家人能永远在一起,他们永恒幸福的标志,这是因为他们相信耶稣基督为人类所做的无限牺牲,让他们有机会跟从耶稣基督来获得永恒的婚姻,让家人这辈子过后也能永远在一起。
进入第二扇大门后往左或往右直走都会发现有阶梯上到空中花园,上面一年四季也都种植了各种各样美丽迷人的花朵。在前面往下可以俯瞰到整个圣殿广场。圣殿背后可以看到整个优美的湾区全景,包括奥克兰城市、不远处的旧金山、金门大桥和海湾大桥。因为这是他们一家常去的地方,让他们感觉很亲切。

星期日教会服务
去了这么多地方,给家人带来的欢笑,对于黄家庭来说也只是附属品,让他们家庭稳固又幸福的根基是参加每周日的耶稣基督后期圣徒教会的教会聚会,中文分会举行聚会的地方位于圣殿广场东边的支联会中心。这是一个可以改善品德、巩固家庭以及感受平安的地方。孩子们在第二小时经常参加初级会。
Primary is a children’s class established by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for children from 18 months to 11 years old. The theme is “And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord, and great shall be the peace of thy children” (3 Nephi 22:13). The children would sing, play, draw, listen to stories, have activities, read scriptures and learn about Jesus Christ together in class. This course helps children to be their best when they learn good values and establish a good relationship with God.

Another thing that attracts them when they go to church meetings is because of their love for Chinese culture. On every Chinese holiday, the Church will hold some special activities to celebrate and have joy together.
这就是黄家庭在湾区一起去的好玩的地方。黄妈妈最后说道,“孩子们快乐,家长就快乐。” 希望大家也能从中找到适合的家庭活动。祝大家家庭幸福美满!
