Yesterday we set out on our first family fun day since moving to our new home: A visit to Chao Yang Park. Because the week of travels from Guo Qing Jie had just passed, it was FABULOUS-- there was barely anyone there! It was a huge park full of fun kids amusement rides, but also natural beauty--lakes, fields of flowers, and lots of professional kite flyers! Here are some fun pics from our outing.
You can see it's just set in the backdrop of the 'big city'...
The girls loved these "rainbow steps"
The first fun attraction was these electric riding animals.
Ellie thought it was fabulous!
I love the tongue action.
Then we moseyed (is that a word?) down to the lake, and here is the sign: We're not in Singapore anymore!
Aside from the sign above, this was the only scene that felt like we were in China.
Jim and K raced back and forth over the bridges. Kathryn kept saying, "Daddy, you NEVER win our races! You are really slow!"
Love my girls!
The best part for me was watching Kathryn with this kite. An elderly gentleman helped her get his in the air and then let her hold on. She loved it!
Kids' favorite pic would have to be the ferris wheel. It was 1.50$ US to ride for 2 minutes! That's pricey for China! But worth it.
One more fun family outing to come later this week!

Why is it that all the Wallace girls are bundled up for fall weather, and Jim is enjoying a summer day in his shorts?! Looks like you all had a great day - -
Yes, Jim only puts away the Tivas and sandals when it snows! He is loving feeling nippy these days...
