A Chinese Carnival!

We are very fortunate where we live as they always have events on the weekends that are catered to the young kids.  And of course, thank you to Takila for translating the signs and letting us know what is going on!  :). We were even lucky enough to have her join us on this day with another family that lives here in Palm Springs.  The first thing we did was try some Chinese cotton candy...Takila's treat! Ellen would not try it, so I ate it and believe it or not, it tasted just like any other cotton candy I have eaten!  

 Here Ellen, Takila and I wait in line to throw darts and pop balloons.  Poor Ellen could not throw a 
dart and could you say...dangerous!  Another game was shooting a BB gun to pop balloons!  Ellen 
actually did better at that.  The line for the ring toss was too long, but my child could have won 
anything from a tube of toothpaste to a bottle of wine!  Classic!

This was probably my favorite part of the day!  There was a man their doing self-portrait drawings and I was fortunate enough to have Ellen get one done!  She even sat still the entire time.  He framed it for me and now I have a great memory from our time here in China.
