Before the mumps hit, another Elite's mother had brought some cute 可愛 balloons to school: cows, sheep, and pigs with little fold down legs just the right weight, so kids could pull the animals along by means of a leash. She offered to bring one for us...and so the next day, Binbin brought his new friend, Kitty, to play ball at Love to Shop.
He quickly noticed that Kitty did not have a mouth, so she could only smell the fragrance of food. He allowed her this pleasure at dinner time. Then, he realized that Kitty, being full of air, was quite resonant, and was thus good drumming material.
Tuesday was the official traditional holiday on which the annual dragon boat races are held, so we took a cab to the other side of the river to watch.
The teams worked hard in the 90 degree heat. We were quite impressed. Binbin thought the boats were all right, but his real love was for the large kettle drums, which provided the beats for the rowers' strokes.

Hello Kline-Lee family! Thanks for your comments. In fact, it was YOUR blog that gave me the idea for ours. I know I've been terrible about communicating, but it's nice to have occasional contact! I hope the mumps are gone, and that your return to the US is a smooth transition.
