What?! No Tennis?? Life goes on in Shanghai...

Tomorrow is a huge day for us.  We're leaving Shanghai for the summer back in Vermont. It's been a year since we've been home.  We're kind of excited.  But before we head out, I thought I'd share some photos from the last month or so, in no particular order.

Sweet corn, fried and drizzled with mayo. 

Cutest kids on the block.  Only time they sat still.

Oh how I wish the tiger would have blinked.  Terrifying.
 
Strolling through the antique market and saw these funky molds for making moon cakes. 

A shopkeeper gave Eli a balloon. 

Perfectly sums these boys up.

These boys too...

With the hair and the bubbles, Townes is a babe magnet.

A typical metro ride.

Piles of zongzi (bamboo-wrapped sticky rice dumplings) in preparation for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Piles of junk food in preparation for the 7th grade disco.

Worst elementary school logo ever.

The chocolate sucked, but we were all fairly happy.

Even when Naomi burst out of the top of Townes' head.

And there were dragon boats.

And cake.

And statues made out of chocolate.

And a giant bouncy cake.

My dumplings rock.

But Din Tai Fung's are still better.

Last day of school with Eli's sweet teachers.

Naomi enjoying the 7th grade field trip.



Line 2 on a Saturday afternoon.  Always crowded.

My birthday and anniversary present from Matthew.  Amazing papercut of a Shanghai alleyway.

Close up.

bye for now...
