Skating the China Way

We took the kids to a park close to us where you can rent skates and skate on this outside rink. It only costs 8 RMB (about $1.10) for the skates and use of the rink. It's not the best looking place but it sure was fun. As soon as we got there we were mobbed by the other kids. They are always so fascinated with our kids. We feel like celebrities because they crowd around Vika and want pictures of her. Sometimes she gets irritated by it all but usually she is a good sport. The people here are so nice and friendly. They would take Nicole and Rachel by the hand and skate around with them. We only stayed for about an hour but had a lot of fun.

The park is right next to where the new High School is being built. It has an outside track, basketball courts, tennis courts, skating rink, a huge soccer field, and a workout area. Gavin goes to play basketball at least once a week there. We will all be going more often with him.
