September

Just cracks me up.. the signs



The boys love soccer

I realized the other night that it has been awhile since I have updated the blog. What have we been up to? School has been going for 22 days. Matthew and Isaac are both enjoying school. They have been playing soccer on wed. nights and loving it. Doug and I have been busy. Doug is coaching the boys volleyball team and having a good time.

We went to the zoo again a few weekends ago. This time we went to the older section where they have pandas. Matthew was so excited to see one. It was a rainy day so there were not many people there. It was great because we were NOT the show. I have to say that the zoo was a bit sad. It reminded me of the Woodland Park zoo before they fixed it up. Animals were in cages and looking sad and sick. We went and saw the polar bears and there was one that was sick looking and had a sore on his paw that he was chewing at. We all felt bad for him so when the Chinese worker said we could buy some food to feed the bears we jumped on the opportunity. For 5 rmb (73 cents) we could get a bowl of fruit to feed the bears. They wanted us to feed the bears that were looking healthy and happy but not Matthew he ran to the polar bear section and started feeling the sick looking bears. The bears were so excited to get food. Matthew was just as excited. He ran out of food but said that he would pay us back if he could get another cup of fruit. So off he went to get more food. It was so fun to watch.

Coach Smith... loving it!!
