Day 2 Part 2....after lunch we headed to the Summer Palace. The lake at the Summer Palace was man made---read: dug by hand by servants a long time a go. It was a really nice setting though. Lots of great statues and building.
Everyone enjoyed the little cafe stand...I bought a package of Chips Ahoy which were quickly eatened up by Colton, Maddie, Bre, Connie and I. :) Roxanne ordered a coffee and a hot chocolate, but instead was given two coffees---so she celebrated a bit.
It was too windy to go on the boat cruise on the lake...which was probably just as well. I was hungry and tired.
We went to dinner at a nice resturant where we ran into another tour from Morris Murdock being lead by the famous BYU football coach, Lavell Edwards. Turns out Angie's husband played for BYU and so, I took a picture of him talking to his old coach. Cute.
Dave got creative during dinner, using the Chicken head as a nose ring. Sorry Dave, I just had to put this picture on my blog!!! LOL LOL LOL We also enjoyed seeing a blowfish...I think he was there to be eaten, but we just enjoyed seeing him puff up.
At the resturant, I bought Rick what I thought was a nice package of Chinese tea...turned out to be strange looking candy. Sorry honey. I tried! lol

For those of you who remember, I spent on trip in Germany taking only photos of Smart cars (and me infront of them)...so I couldn't resist this photo. BUT why on earth, does a Smart Car need a spoiler? I mean, seriously. The thing is not gonna go fast enough to take flight!! 8th: Levall talking to our table. 9th: Dave with the Chicken head. 10th: Bre and I with my bag of cookies. 11th: Puffer fish.
