Last Saturday evening we carpooled with Rhonda and her family up to Cascade Chinese Restaurant in Issaquah to celebrate the Chinese Moon Festival with the FCC up here in Washington. The food was pretty good once it got to our table. It was late in coming and when it did we were all quite famished. We all were so hungry that when the food arrived the lazy susan was in a constant whirl. Around and around it went. It went so fast that it nearly flew off the table.
Mimi and Elsie are like two peas in a pod, Emma on the other hand is more of the dignified one. She refuses to lower herself to Mimi and Elsie's standards.
When the dinner was over was when the performances started. The girls really liked the dancing a lot however when it came to the slide presentation that was when they lost Mimi. Elsie was not far behind Mimi. they were starting to lose her too. Plus it was getting quite late (9:00 p.m.). We had to leave because it was about a 30-45 minute drive home. We did get to see a little bit of it though.
Apparently there are 3 adopted Chinese girls who are now in their late teens and are on the board of the FCC up here in Washington. They had the opportunity to go to China this past summer and work in some of the orphanages there and they were sharing their experiences via a slide presentation. There were pictures of them at the Great Wall, pictures of the Terracota Warriors, the local street market, visiting with the local people in their homes and of course the babies they helped to take care of. They all said that this was a eye opening experience for them and one that they will never ever forget.
