Fall Is over and winter is here.

A while back We went on a field trip with the school. This very interesting and photogenic theme park opened  up only recently even though it is made to look old and they have everything. Including a sad zoo with a sadly named peacock.  Now you can see how our thanksgiving went. Love and Happiness in Yantia China. We are happy that we are starting a family.

We have been busy the last week or so since our last post.
It feels like a whole season has gone by. I think that is partly due to the change in the weather. Shortly after our last post, the school had a fun event for the kids. A sand castle competition. It was warm then, muggy even. But last week was completely different. Rain, nearly all week. Then yesterday it turned cold all of a sudden. The wind last night howled and blew random things around all night. It feels like we have gone through every weather possibility in the last few days. China is definitely keeping us on our toes.

The sand sculpture event was a blast. the whole school was on the beach in force. We walked around, seeing all the creativity of the students and watching them play was blast. We even got dirty and chipped in with Steph's classes very realistic looking China Map. We saw Dolphins, submarines and a surprisingly comfy looking sofa.
