Benny's 2nd Birthday

It was Benny's 2nd Birthday and SJ wanted to do something special for him. Here is a video of the Benny suprise.


















Well, Benny thought foundly of that birthday fun, but I think we might have to brush his teeth after all that eating.

My new bro

Jonathan has been an awesome little brother these past few months. Ever since we got him I knew he had to be part of our family! He has been learning new things (crawling, standing, etc.) and getting into stuff. He has been so awesome and I am soooo glad that he is with us. I would like to show some pics of when he was a "Happy Boy"








Jonathan has been such a fun addition to our family! I really, really love him!

Tongli

For a field trip at school I went to Tongli, an old city in China.

This is a bridge I saw while I was walking with my group. (My mom and me)


My group...


Then, after we walked around for a while, we went on a boat ride. On the boat, my mom and I paired up with another group.



This is Kelly. She was in the group we paired up with.

Next we went to lunch. It was on the side of the river.


While we were eating, a lady came and sang for us. I got a picture with her.

We saw a man with birds. The birds were trained to fish.

As you can see, this bird has a rubber band around it's neck. The rubber band prevents the bird from swallowing the fish.
Every 12 fish the bird catches, it gets to eat one.
This man played music for everybody on a traditional Chinese instrument. He was very good!For the rest of the time we mostly walked around and shopped for souvenirs. This field trip was the best of the whole year! I really enjoyed it!
