The fun began with Father's Day Cards from the older two kids at breakfast.
Miriam thanked me for being her father over these "looooong ten years" and teaching her what faith is.
Asa's was a bit more abstract as he drew a self portrait, declared "I love QQ" (a Chinese messaging tool that I don't think he has ever used) and signed his card "Love, Dad". He confessed he had done a lot of the card "with his eyes closed" - LOL! Wow, I love this creative guy! He can really make me laugh.
After lunch we trekked out to the site of the Shanghai Expo where The Power Station of Art was showing an exhibit called "Andy Warhol: Fifteen Minutes Eternal". We took the subway to the exhibit, which turned into more walking than we anticipated, but one benefit was running across a photo boot within the subway. We took a family picture - less Silas - which the kids loved.
Once we arrived at the exhibit, not only did we learn a ton about Andy Warhol's life and work, but the kids had a blast painting their own masterpieces and we enjoyed exploring this huge power station full of art.
Emily and Silas enjoyed some of the Andy Warhol Cow Prints
Asa Enjoyed the mirrors in this exhibit about the impact of China's rapid development.
At the museum, I also got in a picture with my sweetie and the new T-shirt she gave me for Father's Day. God bless her, she went to all the trouble of taking a silly picture from a small tea shop I like called "Super Daddy" and putting the mascot on a T-shirt for me. It was weeks in the planning!
For dinner we went across the river to the Pu Dong side of the old Expo site for some American BBQ at Bubba's Texas BBQ.
Her is our whole crew with our great food - notice that Emily has written "Love Dad" with ketchup on one of the plates!
Even Silas got into the BBQ action - here is gnawing on a rib bone!
