Needless to say, our cottage didn't have electricity or bathrooms. So, when the sun rose, so did Olivia and me as we ran through the woods to use the facilities. Breakfast was at 7:30am, so we needed to be up and dressed early in the morning.
First on the agenda for Sat, was Circus Arts for the kids. The kids could spin dishes, gymnastics, chinese toys and juggling. Here Lexi takes her turn at spinning the dish.
Olivia brushes up on her handstands.
Olivia also learned to make dumplings. Although, we didn't eat them - the "smooshed" turkey didn't look appetizing.
We took a caligraphy class and made beautiful books with all of our new artwork.
In the early afternoon, we walked down to the pond, un-prepared, as you can see. All the kids were just suppose to put their feet in and in the blink of an eye they were soaked!
After the pond adventure, the kids walked around in the "kid" dragon parade.
Ellen and Wally learned how to play Mah-Jong. The rest of us learned on Sunday.
We made dragon puppets too!
And then, we walked back to the pond, with all the kids in their bathing suits this time!
The girls learned how to sword dance.
And at night, the "big" dragon appeared.
The kids stood on the hill with their pearls to tease the dragon to chase them.
After dinner, we enjoyed a tea ceremony and hung out playing and practicing our calligraphy.
