#90 Coldstone & Kites

It was a gorgeous day in Suzhou today with bright sunshine, blue skies, 75 degress, and a pleasant breeze. In the afternoon, the four kids and I left Kathleen to prepare the house for a party tonight. We rode our bikes to Hu Bin Xin Tian Di or "Rainbo Walk" to check out the new Coldstone Creamery.

Marco rode his new bike all the way - about 3 miles - and Maria is now riding the trailer bike. This arrangement provides for the first opportunity ever to take all four kids on a bike ride accompanied only by myself.

The ice cream at the Coldstone Creamery was delicious - just like in the U.S. U.S. prices as well. They were doing a grand opening promotion where if you could yell "Loving Cold Stone" at higher than 120 decibels, you received a free ice cream. All four kids and I included qualified for a second ice cream by exceeding 120 dB.

Finally, we bought a kite and flew it along with the other frolickers at the water front. Besides having to shoo off the Chinese paparazzi who wanted to photograph the kids, it was fun.
