Summer days are the best days. From the fun activities in preschool to all the new visitors who like to play outside, it's a great time of year to be a kid!

Savannah drew a flower.

First Jeremy drew on the balloon...
... then he drew on his head.
Abigail is quite serious
about her work.
Julia concentrates on her balloon carefully.
Luke drew all over his balloon, and then gave it a hug -- transferring his masterpiece to his cheeks!
Just like Luke, Philip's drawing ended up on his face when he leaned up against the balloon. He didn't mind, though! It's a little like face paint.

We've had a mild summer so far here in Qingyundian,

fresh air and a cuddly lap.

The swing is always the favorite place to play.
The more the merrier!
