a very humid day.

some kind of "sea world festival"...includes the pizza eating contest...

elliot did well, but didn't win his division: 10-14 yr olds.
he could have if he were 14!

for those of you who haven't heard yet: we got an email from our director about this contest. 1st ten to sign up can compete! i RAN to sign ian (& elliot) up right then! it took place ON ian's actual b-day! most of you would agree that there's not another person on the planet who loves pizza as much as ian. how perfect was this?

what's even more perfect is that HE WON! we got a free pizza (for another time!) and 4 movie tickets, which are very expensive here. it's like $10 US to see a movie! (chinese only do it like once on a date if they're really serious! we've been informed.)
