Ke Yuan

We found a new park (well new to us) that we love! It's called Ke Yuan and it's actually not a park at all, but used to be a guys home. They have just turned it into a "park" for visitors. The kids had so much fun feeding the fish, dressing up in traditional clothes, and finding new secret passageways...at least that's what we called them.

Joanthan and Benjamin ended up way up there in a matter of seconds after finding one of the hidden stairways.



I like this shot because you can see the old architecture right in the middle of the big city all around it.




We really did enjoy it...and Jonathan especially like all the architecture withing the place.



The kids feeding more fish (and me talking with my friend).





Here's Benjamin showing off some of his 1st grade school work. I was impressed with the characters. He used the traditional brush to write them (and his name...which he found to be more difficult to do with a brush) :)



Benjamin was sooooo excited that he got the Stat Student this week! Good job, Benjamin!!!


How cute is she holding her two best buddies. Mamaw sent us a back up in case she ever lost her "wah wah" but as you can see, she is attatched to them both.

We are busy this week trying to track down as many ingredients as possible to have our very own AMERICAN Thanksgiving meal! We have done pretty good throughout the month finding odds and ends here and there...now for the last minute finds to complete the meal...at least we hope!
