Snapshot!

Over the weekend there were a few more people that asked to get their picture taken with us, just like the giggling girls.


Ladies Man!

Matt is a ladies man! These girls were SO excited to get their picture taken with him, they were giggling and laughing out of control.. it was hilarious!


Ding Dong!

At the Chenghuang Pagoda there was a bell that you could ring. It was pretty sweet, because you could hear it echoing in between all the buildings.



Chenghuang Pagoda

This pagoda is by a place called Walking Street. It had amazing views of the city and of West Lake. Both of the pagodas we went to had awesome views of the other, so we got some pretty cool shots of the Leifeng Pagoda at this one.




Wet Flip Flop!

As we were walking around a place called "Orioles blowing in the willows".. I saw this cool pagoda thing that I wanted to get my picture taken in. Well the bottom was just rocks that were over some water, so as I was climbing out there Matt warned me not to lose my flip flop in the water. Well.. I did..! Matt luckily came to the rescue and saved it, but not before my flip flop was soaking wet. Very very sad!

Leifeng Pagoda

One of the pagodas we went to was called the Leifeng Pagoda. It is right on the side of West Lake. We have always taken pictures of it from far away, so we decided that we had to actually go there and get pictures from it.. not of it.






The Temple!

Well, Sunday was another big day! We went down to the Lake, went to two Pagodas and a temple that was across the street from one of the Pagodas. Here are a few pictures of the temple we were at. It was very cool!



Can You Believe It?

Well everyone.. prepare to be amazed.. I went on a zipline. Can you believe it? .. Because I'm not too sure that I can! I was so scared, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Exercise Anyone?

On the side of the trail there was a little park with a bunch of toys. As I looked closer, I realized they weren't toys they were "exercise machines". Interesting..! Mom, how'd you like to train with these? haha!

Rickety Bridges!

One major downfall of the canyon was the rickety bridges that we had to cross. I was extremely nervous as my fear of heights was added to my fear of water. I was very scared, but forced myself to cross and guess what.. I lived! haha!




Not only did I cross the bridges, I crossed a log! As funny as that may sound, I was really scared, but really proud of myself after I finished.

Blue Water

The water at the canyon was absolutely amazing. It was so clear and so blue that it looked fake! I have never seen water that clear, it was so beautiful!




Grand Canyon of Hangzhou

On Saturday we went to a place that is called the Grand Canyon of Hangzhou. It was absolutely beautiful! There were so many cool things to see there.





A Long Weekend!

Since it was my last weekend here, Matt and I decided to pack it full of fun! On Friday we went out to the flower nursery and West Lake again. It was a really nice day and surprisingly we both got sunburnt.
