Hi emma... i don't know much chinese... today we went for breakfast at our beautiful***** hotel... am am on floor 9 out of 31 floors... everything is really tall.... we visited the temple of heaven which is really beautiful.. the paintings and symbols and archatecture are amazing.. it was soooo cool there.... when we came out of the temple there were literally 30 street vendors that swarmed aroud us to try to get us to buy stuff.. they kept on changing their offers and prices.... then we went for lunch at the wa ha ha resteraunt... it was a beautiful resteraunt..... then we went to the forbidden city.... my camera ran out of batteries at the end of the tour... the forbidden city is really beautiful and the detail is amazing... some of the main parets of it were being re painted because of the olympics.. they have been working on repainting certain parts for over a year.... because may camera died I didn't havfe battery for tienamin square.. but I got jessica ringness to take some pictures for me.... It is just a huge open space outside the forbidden city.. It is able eo hold 100 000 people in it during the parades that they have there every 5 or so years.... I only have 418 pictures left so I hope that I can go the whole trip on one card... I have taken soo many cool pictures... the smog is still horrible and I can't see a speck of blue sky and only a faint round orangish greyish circle for the sun.... china is really neat... whenever we stoppped we had lik 20 people surrounding us trying to sell us the same type of cheap stuff like watches that fall apart and are sooo fake... some people bought them for fun... the places we visited are really cool with neat archatecture and on a very big plot of land... very ancient chinese..... telll everyone that I love them and get addie to read the e-mail that I sent her
yesterday... good night love you lots...
But anyways, tomorrow will be easter. Yesterday Addie, Mike (george) and his brother Andrew were here. We went quading and it was lots of fun. Then we came home and played rock band. Its like guitar hero but it can have 2 guitars, a drummer, and a singer. It was alot of fun too. We had a delicious supper and then we dipped eggs for easter. We made marshmallow chocolate easter eggs. After watching a movie we champed the eggs andAndrew ended up winning.
<-- this is the back of one of addies eggs. It looked like it had a boombox on its butt.
That is one of my eggs --> i call it
mini me playing rock band. Below it is the rest of the band. Looks like they are breaking up! ha ha! (because they were champed)<-- and this one was Andrews champ egg.
Mikes (george) eggs were nice too. Mom and dad both got 1 egg. They looked cool because of their color. (dad complained about getting only one egg) lol but he was just joking im sure. It was all really fun! Today we pruned some of our trees. Dad used my help. (even tho im not a 'tree expert' like arland) Then i went to town and took a very evil hamster to the pet store to use as snake food..it was..sad but not. And i also helped my mom start a quilt. Basically she did all the measuring and cutting and i held a ruler in place. but it still counts as helping! Dad is wrong about me being the only child at home with them...they are not old! haha..and its not THAT boring. it is different though. But i should be going to sleep anytime soon. So talk to you later family!
Love you all. HAPPY EASTER!

Also for everyones participation, this is a really awesome idea you guys had Troy and Nancy. I sure enjoy hearing everything thats going on and the pics. Glad everyone is doing good. Excellent job Charlene and Garth/Janene for finally blogging. Neat pics of the Easter eggs everybody, we were at Barrhead with alot of old people so we didn't do any easter eggs but we did have a good visit and meal Saturday afternoon.
Love you all,
