Dragon Boat Races

I have always wanted to go see the races and today we did it. Well, Annslee and I did anyway. We didn't make it there by 8 am for the opening festivities and by the time we were going we knew Coby would not be able to make it without a nap so we did the "girl" thing today.

As we walked around during the break time we saw her teachers from Chinese dance/language class and she ran up and grabbed them both. They are both so sweet and their team placed third in the finals!

She did have to chat on her phone some~ not sure what the drama was LOL

We were watching for the races to start and were approaced by a family who have a daughter from China and a son from Vietnam. We then found out they travelled to their daughter two months before us (with the same agency) and their son is from GoVap orphanage just like Coby and they were there two months before us again : )

Sometimes you take a picture and just love it for some reason ~ yes, the Asian squat is still going strong!

We both enjoyed our time together. It isn't often that it is just the two of us anymore.

After the races we walked around downtown for a while and did the "touristy" thing. Yep, she got her pic made at the Wild*horse Sal00n

OMG, Linlee would die if she knew there were "real" dragon boat races. That is her most favorite episode of Kai-Lan ever.

Glad you got some nice mommy/daughter time.

These are such great pictures!! Love the one with you and Annslee! This sounds like such a fun day. And how neat that you met a family with so much in common. Sounds like a play date or two in the future... :)
