This is so old that I'm almost embarrassed to post about it. But, on the other hand, it's too cool not to share.
My sister, Kelley, is currently in her third year of teaching English to university students in China. We visited her over the winter holiday of her second year teaching {which shows how much I have been slacking with putting these pictures up}, and we had a blast.

I think the high one of the day was 9 degrees Fahrenheit. I cried at one point because my fingers hurt so bad from the cold. Yes, I felt stupid about it.
