This weekend, a Chinese man that Brandon worked with at Black and Decker and his wife and daughter flew up to Shenzhen to visit us. Earlier in the week, Marcus and I had visited a park call "Evergreen Resort" with some friends. I knew it was a must-see for Lydia so we made plans to return with our out of town guests. It is an amazing place with a butterfly house, an Amazon rainforest complete with mist, rain, huge dinosaurs and gigantic Amazon fish. There are lots and lots of never-before-seen-in-America-because-the-mere-sight-would-lead-to-a-lawsuit rope and bamboo bridges. Lydia, of course, tackled them all with ease. Marcus also made some valiant attempts. So much fun! I wish I could pack this park up in my pocket and take it with me to Wisconsin.
Friends Alan, baby Hannah and Eleanor
Rainforest explorers
Safety schmafety!
And what outing would be complete without the obligatory "photo of my Chinese kid with your tall blonde one"? Lydia is such a good sport about it.... I am confident that I would not be handling it as well!

Oh, a visit to a park like that does look like fun! Maybe if we could keep the blue heron from eating the koi, our backyard pond would look like your picture.
Again, if you hadn't gotten a picture, I wouldn't have believed you....
