There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

AUGUST 13-14, 2014 -- A DAY IN WUZHEN WATER TOWN, Part 1

 A DAY IN WUZHEN, AN ANCIENT WATER TOWN
AUGUST 13-14, 2014

We were treated royally on this trip.  We arrived in this water town and they checked us into a hotel that was very, very nice and we just weren't quite sure how to show our gratitude!

 Amy and Mason waiting patiently

 The hotel lobby

 Riding the tram to our rooms





 Taking a walk to see the beautiful lights of Wuzhen.

 We thought these garbage cans were quite cute
 The views of this water town were just breath taking





 A pretty pagoda
 Amy and 2 o our drivers









 Mason rests and Ben comforts Bethany who didn't feel well


 This sight just amazed me.  This was "boarding up for the night" in real life.  This man was pulling out planks and putting them in tracks to board up his shop for the night!  I had never seen anything like this.










 Rachel loved the water pump!





 The Chinese princess beds!
