We were so excited to have the grandparents visit. They made it back safely over a week ago, but we're still trying to recover from the fun we had and regular life craziness, so here are a few of the pictures from the visit now.
 |
| Aaron's 10th Birthday! |
 |
| Grandma Sharla and Grandpa John brought all kinds of wonderful presents |
 |
| Aaron building his birthday robot |
 |
| Playing a birthday game from Grandpa Jeff and Grandma Mary |
 |
One of our kids from our English sessions gave us some
of the traditional Dragon Boat Festival food called zòng zi (粽子).
|
 |
This version was made with sticky purple rice and red beans,
and was tastier that some other versions we've had in the past. |
 |
| The biggest adventure we had was taking a riverboat ride at the 3 Gorges |
 |
| The scenery is really beautiful |
 |
This was the bathrooms by the parking lot.
If you were to guess how to interpret the sign kid with basketball,
what would that mean to you? |
 |
| Western children's potty is the correct answer |
 |
The grandparents brought everyone new clothes.
Abigail appreciated that gift the most. |
 |
| We went to a new restaurant that opened recently in town |
 |
| Caleb's pizza |
 |
| The cheese pizza was pretty good |
 |
We also got the meat party platter, which we thought would have
chicken nuggets, but they were mushroom nuggets |
 |
It took a while to convince them that we really did want plain,
salty not sweet, cheese pizza, but when it came it was pretty good. |
 |
The meat lovers stuffed crust wasn't as good.
The crust was stuffed with pumpkin. |
 |
| Definitely edible and OK, just not something we'd order again. |
 |
| All eight of us in our car |
 |
| After pizza we went to the forest park nearby |
 |
| Giant teeter-totter |
 |
| Grandpa John giving rides |
 |
| Grandma Sharla doing the magic carpet ride game |
 |
| It also got combined with the knock Grandma down game |
 |
| The grandparents brought supplies so the kids could each create their own games. |
 |
| And lots of other games were played |
 |
| Making cookies |
 |
| More cookies |
 |
| Piano lessons with games! |
 |
| Playing Busytown |
 |
One of the favorite new things to do was play football against
the grandparents |
 |
| They took them to a playplace |
 |
| Reading and painting |
 |
| More reading |
 |
| Shirts Grandma made |
 |
| 4th of July fun |
