We stayed at my parents' place most of the time. But since they don't have the air conditioner, we slept all over the places. During the second week we were there, my high school friend offered us to stay at her parents' vacant two story apartment. We slept there until we left. When we were there, we visited my parents' farm, went to the park, visited church, did friendspeak, spent time with family and friends, and ate a lot of delicious food and fruit. Here are part of the pictures:
That's how we eat watermelons - we ate watermelons and grapes non-stop
See how tall the corns (right at the back of David and Emily), the tomatos (left), and the green beans (right) are:

Emily cut the grapes off the vine:
Look at these grapes we picked:
The bittermelon inside the bottle (how did my parents put it in?)
The over-sized chinese okra:
The bell pepper was so big!
Picking the vegetable in the garden:

See how much we picked in the garden:
Emily and Andy's favorite drinks - Chinese yogurt. We bought lots of them.
David making the Chinese noodles:
Riding on the favorite Chinese cartoon character - Xi Yang Yang
Trying the new balance skill:
Monkey bar
Apple trees were everywhere on the street. You can see all the red apples.
Electronic cars were the kids' favorite - Andy cried everytime when he finished riding.
The kids enjoyed the Chinese food:
Climbing onto the rock
Tired kids on the airplane:
They even slept in the bumpy car riding from the airport to my parents' house - we wouldn't let them do this here in America.
Eating the best breakfast we ever had in a Beijing hotel. Andy had his special highchair.
Andy got fresh produce from the neighbor's garden during his stroller walk.
The kids loved the outdoor life in China. They didn't want to come home. Here is a picture of them visiting with the neighbors. Andy was held by a neighbor; Emily was in the stroller pushed by a neighbor and her granddaughter.
Andy's favorite food. We ate a lot of them. One of the neighbor knew Andy liked the one that looked like a pizza. She bought for Andy and brought it to Andy while the kids were playing outside. These are all different flavors.
The government church that we visited. While we were there, this church had their once-a-year baptism. Over 100 people baptized on that Friday.

We had a late lunch and Andy was sleepy. The waitress wheeled in a crib for Andy to take a nap in it - and he did!
We were amused by this birthday cake. My brother ordered a cake with a "horse" on it (David's zodiac is horse) for David's birthday. Does this horse look more like a pig to you? (This is just a piece of cake on David's plate. )
