This is Maylee's lady bug outfit, Tommy said take a picture she looks so cute.
Daddy thought it would be funny to put Maylee's big girl panties on her head......she doesn't look that amused but Daddy was.

Look a these bee wasp things that has been eating our swing set on our patio.

Another One of Those "Chinese" Things

Aah.....Maylee in her big girl panties, holding her Hello Kitty purse and enjoying a vegetable pretzel stick, first thing in the morning.
Here is the view from our balcony to the playground below.

Here's another one of those things they do here with no safety precautions. I was so mad that I couldn't get a picture fast enough but when I looked out my kitchen window I saw this guy up ON TOP of the air conditioner (like the one above him) and he was unscrewing it......mind you, we do live on the 35th floor and there where, again, no safety harness or anything of the sorts. This picture is after he got the unit into the apartment. Another thing Maylee and I have seen, is a guy that was ON TOP of a sign 2 stories up changing the light bulb with no safety restraints.

Isn't This Scary?

One slip and this is what the fall would have been like. I don't think you can see the red dots of their shirts but they are at the top of this photo. The crazy things they do here in China!
Here they are pulling it up over the ledge. They had no kind of restraints and had the ropes in their hands freely.

and this is what they were doing.......it's a huge frame of some sort.



I looked out my bedroom window and saw these two guys in red shirts with ropes in their hands.

The New Temple In Xiamen

This is one of the many gods that are in the temple......don't ask me which it is I just thought it was a good picture.

This is where they burn their "heaven money"......you can buy it just about anywhere and they burn it and pray.
These are carved dragons


Isn't it pretty




As we are walking up to the temple there were these sticks. I asked Xiao Chen what they were and he said there were incense. The one on the far right was about 5 or 6 feet tall and he said it would burn for days.

The little boy that wasn't really a little boy......

Tommy went out of town on a business trip so in the evenings Maylee and I would get bored and after dinner we would go just outside of our apartment and walk around. This little boy took a great interest in Maylee and kept wanting to hug her and touch her. This picture is the second night we went out and hung out with him and he gave Maylee a strawberry milk drink. The third night we went out to meet him and he was dressed in pink and had a pony tail......guess it was a girl after all. Never can tell no one cares about color here.
