CRYSTAL AND ISABEL This is a weblog for Crystal Sun Zhao and Isabel Sun Zhao. As parents, we'd like to keep the records for them as much as we can.

We attend an even at Isabel’s kindergarden. Not only Isabel, both Mom and Dad have a lot of fun too.

Here is a picture of Crystal’s classmates while Crystal is still in Calgary.

Isabel is 3 years old. She chooses the cake by herself.

Crystal is having fun in Calgary. Hui and Pei takes Crystal to Banff.

Isabel can roller skate now. We bought a pair of roller skate shoe for Isabel just a couple of months ago. Now she can moves along all by herself. And she is pretty exciting about that she can skate too.

Crystal is going to stay in Calgary with Pei and Hui for a couple of months until Feb. 2009. She is leaving on Sep. 26th, 2008. For a last couple of days, Crystal is saying goodbye to her friends at the kindergarden and to her younger sister Isabel. Crystal is quite looking forward it because she knows that she will have lots of fun.

It’s our final day in Beijing, the only rainy day while we are in Beijing. It’s the time to say goodbye to friends in Beijing.

On Day 7, Aug. 20th, we visit Great Wall and Ming Tombs. Uncle Zhao in Beijing drives us there. There are many people on the Great Wall. Crystal and I climb a long way. Some places are very steep. But, it is no problem for Crystal at all. She climbs and chats with me casually.
