Pandas and Sharks

Today we went to the Beijing Aquarium! Since we had a whole week off of school for Chinese New Year, we have done lots of fun things, but this was the best! We saw sharks, giant sting rays, sea turtles, and even a seal and dolphin show! And the dolphins jumped SO high in the air, it was amazing. Even my mom and dad said it was the best aquarium they had ever been to.


J's favorite thing was the dancing sea lions and the baby monkeys, S's favorite was the dolphins and the sharks. But everyone else there had a different favorite exhibit--US! Everyone wanted to take our picture, and to get their picture taken with us! I guess they aren't very used to seeing kids from America. At first it was really weird, and made us very uncomfortable when people kept having us pose with their kids for pictures, but we kind of got used to it. I guess with Daddy being so tall, Mommy having red hair, and us being blondish, we are bound to attract attention around here.



Then, we got to go to the Zoo and see the Pandas! We thought there would only be 2 or three, but there were so many! Some of them were wrestling and playing with each other, it was very funny. They were like a big family of Panda Brothers! It was a very very fun day.
