So, it has been a LONG time since I have posted a blog! I did actually try a couple of times, but the internet would not cooperate. We have been enjoying time with family for the past month, so the blog just kept getting postponed. We have done A LOT though and I will try to catch you up.
The kids filled up another "Super Duper Sticker Chart" so we went to a play area and had Pizza Hut for lunch. It was lots of fun. The play area was very crowded, but Lauren has been asking to go back ever since.
Speaking of Lauren...I love the look she is giving Jonathan here...Too Funny :)
Benjamin was not sick in this picture, but has been pretty sick for over a week. He had a fever of 104 and a horrible cough. He got lots of medicine and is feeling much better now (although he was not thrilled about all the maek-up homework that he had)
We went to the zoo and saw some sections that we have not seen before. There was an entire section of different baby animals. It was very cute. The kids had fun as usual.
This was at the white tiger show. It was really cool. The tiger was jumping for a piece of meat and ended up landing in the water right in front of us!
Well, the heat has arrived to stay now. The high on this day was supposed to be 80, but it got up to 94. It was definately an icecream day. I believe it is time to pack away the jeans :)
We saw a car being decorated for a wedding...
I went to Hong Kong with my mom for a day. We saw lots of sights and had some good American food :)
Lauren has been insisting on eating with only chopsticks. It will not be long before she is an expert.
This is one of my new favorite cultural shots. This is so typical here. The grandparents are always with the little ones. They will just find a long stick or something else and dangle it it the water and wait to see if any fish come to check it out.
Just a normal shopping day...the escalators are almost always packed full of people.
We have had our fair share of storms recently. One cool thing...we saw our very forst rainbow here! I know it may not sound so exciting to some, but it is a RARE thing here. I went and got my neighbor to see it. She was just as excited as we were (or more so). She said it was the 1st ever she has seen (she has lived in this city for at least 15 years)
THIS! This was a site to behold...and this lovely alligator was for sale at......wait for it....
Wal-Mart! Yep, you never know what treasures you might find at Wal-Mart :)
This was a group of friends that we went out to eat with before mom headed back to the States. We had a good time. Oh, the other thing that happened in between posts is that we found a new apartment in another city. We will move this summer after the kids finish school. I'll try to post pics of our new place on a later blog.
