Not exactly a party but a few Sundays ago, June 9, I went with Libby and Leilie to the Dragon Boat Festival on the Charles River.
This is something I love to do, because it is outside, free, entertaining, and a great place to hang out with friends.
I met up with my friend Liehar, who surprised me by having secretly adopted a new daughter! (I mean, she kept it a secret from me; it was a completely above-board adoption!)
Congratulations Liehar and Lily, who I can tell is an awesome big sister already, and love to Natalie!
Then I found my friend Tina, and her daughter Ling Le, who shared my first trip to China to adopt Libby. Ling Le has the same birthday as me, and it shows, because she is full of irrepressible energy, sometimes in need of re-directing, which her parents do with great imagination and tact. Libby and Leilei were in awe of her, and ran after her as she pursued various adventures, including getting leftover snacks from dragon boat teams, and re-gifting them to passers-by!
It was great seeing them!
Ok, who wants to race a dragon boat next year? We could do it as a fundraiser for Dumplings!
Or for Acorn Preschool! Let me know if you're interested, I really want to do it!
