Our Celebration

The weather has been in the 90s so we've been enjoying the pool in our compound. Today, we celebrated Dragon Boat Festival (explanation below) by giving Xing Ayi and Xiao Shang the day off and having some family time at the pool. Zeke dipped his feet for the first time and the older boys ganged up to seek revenge on Dad!

You can see houses on our compound in the background of the photo. The clubhouse is just past the playground, out of sight. While the pool was not crowded when I shot the photos, later, every chair was taken and the pool was full of people trying to escape the heat.

Jed sampled and enjoyed Zong zi at school last week. The school is great about linking the kids with the culture of their host country. Xing Ayi asked if we like Zong zi and said she would make some for us, so we'll see what tomorrow brings us.
