We took advantage of the Chinese New Year holiday by taking a quick trip to Hainan Island and the city of Sanya. Brandon's Chinese office is closed for the week, so it was a perfect oppotunity for a tropical getaway. We redeemed a wad of Brandon's bigillion Sheraton points and embraced the beauty and warm temperatures of the resort.
No less than twenty-nine times Lydia and Marcus had their pictures taken with random Chinese tourists. When we returned to Shenzhen, Kenny informed Lydia that she is a "superstar". Lydia now thinks she ranks up there with Hannah Montana. Her little blonde head is swelling by the minute.
Some highlights of the trip:
The biggest sandbox he's ever seen!
Sun, beach, searching for shells.... what could be better?
Juice-running-down-your-chin-elbow-and-arms fresh fruit.
The cable car ride to Monkey Island
The monkeys roaming free on Monkey Island (these happened to be part of a show, hence the ropes). The monkeys were so cute and funny to watch. Well, until that time that one monkey tried to steal Marcus' coat off his back. THAT wasn't so funny. Marcus didn't think so either.

Love that you are back to posting; I've missed hearing about your adventures. So glad you all had a good time on you vacation -- I'm a little jealous of the warm sun you experienced. Can't wait till you are home, but continuing to pray for your time there.
Monkeys that roam the island? That sounds like so much fun. My boys would LOVE that vacation. Adorable pictures :)
Hanna Montana and monkeys? What more could you ask for on vacation:) Looks like you had a great time and enjoyed some warm weather. Missing you back home and counting down the weeks!!!
