This past Saturday was the Dragon Boat Festival. Jeff and I live a stone's throw away from the lake so we decided to walk down and enjoy the festivities. It was raining and crowded, but a lot of fun, and it turns out we got to watch a friend race!
One of the boats capsized! We couldn't help snickering. They were great sports about it, though!
Staying dry in style!
Happy in spite of being soaked
There were several booths of trinkets, painted goods, and these nifty creations made out of leaves.
Julie and her team!
This crazy adventurous woman went from this race straight to board a plane back to the states!
Jeff found a crazy good deal on cake mix at the store, so we spent the rest of the day warming up, baking cinnamon roll cupcakes with maple syrup, and making homemade alphabet veggie soup. These aren't the prettiest cupcakes I've ever made, but they were the first ones we've had in the six months that we've been here in China! All in all, not a bad way to spend a Saturday!
Have a sweet day!
