Besides July being papa's birthday, it is also Elsie' birthday. She turned 5 years old today. Unfortunately mama's camera ran out of batteries and she was not able to get a good picture of Elsie. Elsie and her big sis Emma are part of our China family. The girls also go to the same gymnastic school as Mimi and they are both on the gymnastic team there. Mama was quite impressed at the way the gymnastic school handled the party. First all the kids sat on the rug as in the picture above to stretch out their muscles then the teacher took them around the different apparatus while the parents were able to mingle with each other up in the balcony where the kids came up for ice cream and cake. Before we knew it the hour and a half was gone and the party was over. Several other China friends were there also. When the party broke, Elsie and her mom and sis plus another China family Lori and her two girls started heading over to Whidby Island for the China Heritage Camp that is put on by our local FCC. Unfortunately we are not able to go this year but most definitely we will be going next year if we are not in China for Mei Mei.
