International Fair - China

Our home school support group hosted an International Fair this evening.  We participated last year and enjoyed it so we decided to participate again this year.  We chose China for several reasons, the main two being cousins J and O.  The kids also have some cool outfits that Aunt Debbie brought them on their last trip to bring O home.

H is watching her friend, Rebecca, demonstrate her outstanding "chopstick" skills.

C had a fever the day of the Fair so she could not attend.  (Big disappointment for her!)  So Dad opted to stay home with her while I took the other three.  (I'm suppose to be wearing the blue jacket on the table.  I forgot before we began our presentation.  Oops!)

All three children shared about China then the other children could walk up to see our table and displays.

"Stamping" passports for China.

Special thanks to Uncle Brian and Aunt Debbie for providing many of the props we used.  Those gifts are treasures and were shared with joy.  And there's a big photo of J and O on the display.  I just didn't get a good photo of that side of the disply.

What a presentation! Good job! :) China is one of my favourite countries. I heard a lot about it when i was young - through a mission organization - always thought i would end up as a mis*sionary there. Maybe one day? :) I was there in -93 for a visit and a mission. Exciting. Hope to go back one day. You looked great in your chinese outfits! :) Sorry you were sick, C.
