Purple Mountain Aquarium

We did a lot of running around today. For the most part, the boys did really good. First, all the boys (Chris included) got haircuts. We tried to find a place that had been recommended to us, but just ended up going to some random place we stumbled upon. The guys were all very nice and seemed tickled to be cutting the kids' hair. There is a very hip type of young adult scene here in China. All these stylists had their hair uber styled in long sweeping bangs or moussed up spikes. They wear earings and acid washed jeans. Very hip :) and very nice. I accidentally knocked a pair of clippers off the counter and broke them (very embarressing). I had Chris talk to him and offer to pay for it, even insist to pay for it and the guy refused. Hair cuts for all 4 of them, plus a wash for Chris was only $6. Isn't that crazy?

Next we drove up to Purple Mountain to check out the aquarium. It was so fun! We took lots (I stress lots!) of pics which I will put behind the cut. The boys really enjoyed themselves.

Our last stop was Carrafell, which is a French grocery store. I liked it much better than WalMart. It's less crowded and has a greater variety of "foreign" products (such as healthy breakfast cereal.) Dinner tonight was cooked by Mariannette. She made spagetti and meatballs, which the kids also loved.
