Saturday ~ Market Day and Sweet Play

Saturday was a rainy day that was filled with fun family time and sweet play time. It was a crazy busy week at New Hope with the field trips, several visitors and volunteers on-site, and hours of playing with the children. Saturday was a slower day.

To market to market to buy...well, not a fat pig though we could have....really! Our family walked to the Bei Wu Five-Day-Market in the light rain. The raincoats from Uncle David and Aunt Tracie were such a blessing! It was a two mile walk each way to the market. Because of the rain, there were about 60 vendors at the market and typically would have been a few hundred. But, we found what we wanted ~ "egg bread" made on a crepe maker and stuffed with cilantro, onions, crispy somethings, and hot chili sauce! (We have no idea the Chinese name for this.) Fresh vegetables and fruit were purchased for us to prepare for dinner.

Home again, home again, jiggety jig!....with the colorful umbrella Z2 purchased!

Our afternoon was spent with the precious little ones.
