Beijing Sunday

Up early and off to breakfast.  At 7:45 we packed up and went to the car.  Mr. Xue was there waiting for us.  He took us to Blue Zoo.  We paid and went in.  It isn't a very big place but it was nice.  A little pricey for what it is but at least it was something new to do.

Entering Blue Zoo.

Cameron has a girl friend.

Yikes!

Watch Out Cameron!!

Why is there a snowman here?

Blue Zoo is an aquarium.  It had some interesting fish to look at and the big aquarium had a moving sidewalk that took us all the way around.  After 45 minutes we had been through the whole aquarium and saw everything we needed to see. 

Lots of red fish.

Not sure why they put this Sea Star in this case.  It looked horrible and it's just mean.

That's a big turtle.

This shark was in serious need of some dental work. 

View from the deck of the aquarium.  Pretty sure you wouldn't want to swim
in this water.  Disgusting looking.

Back to the van and off to the Friendship Store and Jenny Lou's for some groceries.  The most exciting thing was we found marshmallows and Hershey's chocolate candy bars so we can teach Carrasco's how to make S'mores.  We brought graham crackers from the states so we are set.  Can't wait. 

Cameron and Todd must have been exhausted from the aquarium because they both slept on the way home.  Back to TEDA by 11:15.  A little lunch and then Todd and Cameron went outside to play basketball.  It didn't last all that long because it was hot out.  When they came inside both of them were sweating really bad.  They were gross and smelly.  They cooled off and then went back outside to drive the remote control car.  Back inside because they were sweating to death again.  Cooled off and went back outside to play badminton.  Back inside again but this time Todd stayed in and Cameron took his bike out to ride with Alfredo.  They made it back from the Chinese wedding they had to go to.  Cameron was back inside at 4:00 and the boys started working on getting dinner prepped and cooked.  While they were outside I watched a lot of Olympic replays...women's volleyball, swimming, and gymnastics. 

Perfect little angel.

Sweat hogs.

While they were waiting for the coals to be ready they used the sling shot to shoot little crab apples off the deck aiming at the trailer by the golf course.  Cameron thought he was pretty cool.  I had to try a couple times and it was pretty fun.  Cameron ran out of ammunition so he went back outside to get more apples.  After the last wad of apples they were done shooting for the day.  They concentrated on dinner.

Taking aim with the sling shot.

We had a delicious dinner, cleaned up, and watched some cartoons before skyping with both sets of grandparents.  Off to bed.

Here is what the Wallace's cook for dinner.
