Officially in China!

We have arrived in China and we are in our city at our school!! It is a beautiful city, only an hour away from the ocean, water is around everywhere! It is lovely, we are trying out ways around using Blogger and Facebook here... since shh... it it not supposed to be used! Unfortunately we have not been able to figure out how to add photos to either one, we are still attempting it!

Weekend Fun


This weekend, I got to play with some of my friends!! We had fun playing games and making Valentines Day Cookies!!!! :)


I was having photography issues... this happens very often, I'm just trying to go Asian ;)

We played the game Headbands, my favorite! Emily and I were trying to be sneaky... but our pictures wouldn't even tell us what our cards were


I am pretty sure we never have normal pictures!

Saturday my family went out to Hardware Ranch and took a wagon out to see all the elk

Allen and Kathy... Allen, who doesn't like his picture taken

My Parents!

It was really neat, Just look at all those Elk!!

I think I was trying to be an elk... or be eaten by one... not sure!

We went to the Logan Zoo after, and they had the cutest little ducks I had ever seen!! I want my own:) We got to feed those cute little things too!

Hopefull Touring Spot!

Guilin China!


Reasons to Visit Guilin
Pedal lazily through the rice paddies, fruit orchards, tranquil villages and extraordinary karst peaks of Yangshuo
Enjoy a casual stroll through the city area, taste the famous Guilin rice noodles, and take the 'Two Rivers and Four Lakes' water tour around the city at night
Go through spectacular karst caves, such as the Reed Flute Cave and the Seven Star Cave, and learn how the fantastic stalactites were formed
Hike around the mountain areas dotted with colorful ethnic minority tribes such as Zhuang, Miao, Yao and Dong
"The river forms a green gauze belt, the mountains are like blue jade hairpins."
"I have visited more than 80 countries and over 100 cities. I have found that no city can surpass the beauty of Guilin. Guilin is really a bright pearl in China."
- by former U.S. President Richard Nixon
"No place in China is more evocative of the beauty of your country than Guilin."
- by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
