Silly Saturday

Up and at the gym by 7:00.  Back home by 8:00 and Mr. Hu picked us up at 9:00.  Off to the grocery store to load up on the essentials.  We then went to the 3rd Avenue Fruit and Vegetable Market to get fruit.  Back home.  Todd went back to the mall where the grocery store is to get movie tickets for Journey 2 The Mysterious Island. 

1:30 Cameron went to his friend Janan's to play.  His mom is the 5th grade teacher at the school.  They are a nice family.  We dropped him off and Todd and I went to Ren Ren Le.  It is a grocery store on 3rd Avenue that we never go to.  We had a gift card to use so we went to spend it.  It is a pretty nice store.  We were trying to find Chicken Powder.  It is one of the ingredients in our salsa and we haven't been able to find it in Teda.  We did find every other kind of powder but not chicken.  To spend our 200 RMB certificate we bought beer.  Beer for us at home but then a big Budweiser bottle  (in Chinese) for our brother in law and a Pabst Blue Ribbon can (in Chinese) that has a funky can for my dad's bar.  Pretty pathetic I know but we had just bought everything else we needed.  We have 20 RMB left because we just couldn't spend it.  I will have to go back now.  Todd and I made a big bowl of salsa and Todd grilled a bunch of food. 

Love how the meat is just sitting out in the open.
 I'm sure the germs from coughing, sneezing, hacking people stay away.

Every kind of powder possible.  Really?

Loads of yummy salsa.

We picked Cameron up at 3:30 then returned home for dinner and then off to the movies at 6.  Journey 2 The Mysterious Island was a really good movie.  It was in 3D and there were a couple times Cameron and I jumped pretty bad.  He may have even wet himself a little.  Best movie I have seen lately.  The sound was way too loud though.  I had a headache by the time we got out. 

Cameron and The Rock are best friends now.

Those are some big glasses.

Back home we all showered then played Lego Creationary game.  It is pretty fun.  Cameron and Todd are much better builders than I am.  We had a lot of laughs trying to guess what the others were building.  Great family game. 

Cameron is building a lamp on a table.

After the game, which Todd won, we all laid in our bed to watch a magic show.  Todd was out cold in about 5 minutes.  Cameron lasted longer but did not make it through the whole show.  When I woke Cameron up to go to bed he said "That show wasn't very good".  Hmmm, wonder how he knows that since he slept through it.

Sleeping or thinking?
