We celebrated Jia's birthday yesterday. Her Chinese assigned birthday is June 18, but because that coincides with Father's Day and our 17th (!) Anniversary, we decided to move it up.

Little Miss Jia had a great time. I'm not going to write a lot as I have a ton of pictures, but here was the plan: Jia and Parker visited Wannado City-Katie and Anna were their chaperones. If you are not familiar with Wannado, it is like a giant indoor theme park, but each section highlights a hands on experience highlighting a job that the kids may want as a career. For example, Jia was a surgeon, she held back the skin of the "person" on the table, she was a paramedic, where she took a hurt patient to the hospital in an ambulance. She was a pilot on an airplane, and she also captained a boat. Katie and Anna each wore a bracelet that they could scan at any moment and find out exactly where Jia and Parker were. Meanwhile, we got to see Summer Raine (Parker's brand new little sister) and all of the adults retired to the Cheesecake Factory.

When we came home we had a family party where Jia opened her presents and had her Hannah Montana cake. All in all, I think she had a blast! Enjoy the pictures!
