We enjoyed a fun visit from David parents recently! The kids loved their time here, and they were really good sports just taking in life and the culture! We enjoyed lots of late night Rook games (girls vs. boys). . . the girls won just for the record Today, April 5th, is Mama T’s bday! Happy Bday to you! Thankful for wonderful parents, in-laws, and grandparents for our kids! Love you both very much! Thanks for making the trip!
Daddy D was brave enough to ride around on the back on David’s scooter :)
Eating at food street – a narrow street lined with several small food shops. We ate hand pulled noodles that day!
They took each child to get ice cream at different times. This was Kylie’s turn. She fell asleep after playing hard and eating ice cream :)
Relaxing with Caden :)
Surprised Colt at his school with ice cream :)
David and Daddy D exploring the panda park!
Walking to lunch with the kiddos and Colt’s friend Lyric!
Foot massages for the girls Lots of walking here!
Before our hair wash. We treated ourselves again They will wash your hair, massage your head and style it – 1 hour treatment – for about $4.
Riding the bus to the park one afternoon. More ice cream :)
That park had beautiful flowers and landscaping!
Seeing the Global Center (the world’s largest building)!
They ate lots of yummy lunches that our Ayi cooked for us!
We made some Chinese dumplings. Mama T caught right on!
Eating hot pot with our Ayi’s family. You pick all the raw meat and veggies that you want to eat and then cook them in a pot of boiling broth. It’s a long, slow meal that is enjoyed with friends :)
We had such a wonderful time taking in all the hugs, foods, sights, and sounds! You guys treated us royally, even giving up your bed for those two weeks. We made great memories….you all were wonderful hosts. We came away better knowing how to pray for you. What a joy to hear you all speaking so fluently. God has indeed been so good. We love you so much and thanks again!
These are all precious memories for all of you. I think out of all these the one of Donnie holding Kylie with her asleep on his shoulder, is the one that grabs the heart most…pure love shows there. It does in all of them, but there’s just something about that one. So happy that y’all got yo spend this time together.
