A day at a nong jia le (happy country) :)

Saturday, we went to the “countryside” here outside of our city with David’s friend QL and his entire family (we are talking Grandma, Aunt, Uncle, friends, wife and kids). It was a 12 hour day, but thankfully the weather was perfect. We enjoyed the whole day outside! The kids liked running around, fishing, picking strawberries, and eating lots of yummy foods!

  1. What a beautiful place to get away and enjoy. The grandma isn’t much bigger than Colt. I love that the families enjoy doing things together. What are some of the different things you are learning to eat other than Colts love of chicken feet?

  2. The picture “fishing buddies” with the two little blond heads needs to be on the cover of a magazine. That is one of the most adorable pictures I have ever seen.
