Today, we went with some people from our China adoption playgroup and saw some dragon boat races. These are traditional in China, and it is when a group of about 20 or so people (I'm actually not sure, but today each boat had 25 people) get in a boat that is modeled to represent a dragon, and they have races in the lake to see which team/group can row the fastest. Since on one of the episodes that Kenzie and Karli frequently watch of Kai Lan involves her and her friends participating in a dragon boat race, we figured that they would enjoy watching them, and hanging out with other kids there. It was a fun day, and the dragon boats were pretty cool. As usual, my mom took many photos, and so I'm posting the best (and my favorite) ones on here. Oh, and if you are wondering what they are doing with those things that look like bricks, they were excavating them. They were actually "bricks" made up of a softer, powdery substance, and they used picks and brushes to break it apart and dust it off. Hidden in the brick, that they had to dig out, were a bunch of miniature models of some Terracotta Warriors (like on display at our local museum), and so all of the kids loved getting to find the soldiers and play with them. It was a very fun craft :)
AND don't forget to scroll down a little bit after these last 2 posts and see the one called "Important". I need people to leave comments and vote on that one!
p.s. Also, please continue to pray for the missionaries. Today was the last day of their conference, and so many of them are on their way for more deputation or going back to their field. Keep them in your prayers!
