A trip to the park

We spent the morning at a nice park nearby.  Stairs were used as jungle gyms, since there was no jungle gym there.  The Chinese do not really believe in jungle gyms. It's odd.

We practiced fishing.


We got our first ice cream in the sun.  We misunderstood the Vendor initially, when we thought she said the three treats would be $12.50.  We have seen that prices of some items in China have risen substantially in the last 3 years, but were shocked.  Then we realized she wanted $1.25 for the three.  Done!  Ice cream tomorrow?  Don't mind if I do!


Get near my treat and I'll poke you!


Dinner tonight was at Pizza Hut.  Were needed a break fron the Chinese food.  She ate a huge amount of noodles with Bolognese sauce, then moved on to her first Pepperoni Pizza.  A day of firsts!

Another first!  We got her out of the big bulky clothes she came in and into some of the clothes we brought.  The heavy quilted orphanage standard-issue garments add about 10lbs to a 30lb kid.

I'm a little low on content today.  I took mostly videos, and I cannot get them to upload.  Sorry!

Harmony is now an official Peltier girl - she is wearing Hello Kitty clothes! And she does look about 10 lb. smaller without the layers of quilted garments. But at the rate she's eating, she may weigh 10 lb. more by the time you fly home. Give the F.V. a hug from Nana.

Looks like I will have three fishing for bluegills, sunnies, and crappies when they come for Grandpa and Grandma Summer Camp. I can hardly wait to meet Harmony.
Love, Grandpa
