Pictures From Our Walk Around Xian China

I posted pictures recently of some food I saw while on a walk with my boys.  Well a couple weeks ago I took Ellie and Sammie for a walk; here are some pictures of our time together.

"Here's a subway stop we walk past that is near our home."

"This is the all seeing eye searching for "one ring to rule them all"."

"This is a water fountain that we've made some fun memories at before."

"Did Colonel Sanders know his chicken would be world-famous?"

"Ellie looking happy as we eat chicken nuggets and fries."

"Sammie kept semi-yelling.  I kept telling him "be quite".

"It was while I was taking these photos that I had this realization sweep over me; I'm taking these photos for someone else, their forever family.  So I snapped on."

"It was while I was taking these photos that a kind KFC employee informed me that it was against rules (or policy) to take pictures in KFC."

"It was a mere few minutes later that I shifted the stroller next to me and took one more photo; this one of Ellie coming down the slide."

What's your favorite picture?

much love,
the petersons

    1. I'm not entirely sure as to why they would be against it. I would imagine that they are maybe suspicious of our intentions, but that's the only guess I have.

  2. yes, we were stopped as well...KFC and WalMart. I supposed the weird looking foreigners with Chinese children don't look very trustworthy. Maybe somewhere, hidden beneath the slide is the Colonel's secret recipe? One never knows. It's China :) I was wondering what part of the chicken was in your nuggets ;) Whatever we ordered (we speak NO Chinese and had no guide with us) was spicer than the enemy's eternal home! I couldn't even get halfway through it. it was a nice meal of french fries for me! :) Oh the memories!

    1. Some of the stuff is really spicy. But the fries are always a safe bet. Thanks for stopping by!
