Anna at 2-1/2 adapts to her new environment

We tried our best to have a traditional July 4th celebration complete with BBQ ribs.

Jello

This girl has a spinde deformity that her parents are trying to treat by tying her to this board a little while each day. Anna's really taken to the family.

Puppies. These pups live nearby our house and Anna's taken on their care including feeding and brushing.

Josanne found another way of making bubbles.

Of what kind, we're not sure.

Guys like these can be seen around town moving people's belongings on their 3-wheeled bikes.

We traveled to a spot above timberline to relax and enjoy some nature.

Anna caught a bunch of tadpoles and took them home to watch them turn into frogs/toads.

This young girl lives nearby and plays with Anna. She's learning some English while Anna's learning some Chinese from her.

This is where our apartment trash is collected.

Anna's made friends with most of our apartment guards.

Moving stuff in 3-wheeled bikes is common.

The QiongHai Hotel has many peacocks on their grounds.

We saw the almost complete solar eclipse on July 22, 2009.

Our friends at the hotel invited us to join them for the grand opening of their new restaurant. It serves Yi food and offers a performance with each meal.

You don't see this everyday while tending your sheep! Or, do you?!
