Ni hao

I have 3 kids. I have had to sit through a lot of long and boring school events, concerts, recitals, plays. Hands down, Mrs. Wu - Nixon's Chinese teacher- wins the prize for the BEST school event since the 4th Grade Utah Play (which I have enjoyed twice)! The Chinese Spring Festival started with a Lion Dance ...
(the little lion on the right is Nixon!)

It included traditional Chinese dancers ...
Tibetan Dancers ...
Chinese Toy Demonstrations ...
Kung Fu, Singing, and a Dragon Dance. Even the Park Record thought it was cool - thanks Mrs. Wu!

Cool! I want her for my teacher! How fun that looks - and as for In-n-Out! YEah! How anyone survives without it I will never know - my children don't even know that shakes can come as vanilla OR Strawberry OR chocolate. Don't they all come together everywhere?

Oh man, seriously don't make me so envious of you... first the skating at Willow Creek (every time Matt drives by it he calls me and tells me how many kids are out skating) and now this amazing school festival (Chinese classes in middle school - are you kidding?!). Next, you'll be writing about how you can easily take the kids skiing for a few hours after school each Friday... can you tell we're missing a few things about the PC life? ;-)
