Brady found his Chinese zodiac animal!  The ox!

We are so glad that Kaitlyn and Brady could come too!  Last year on this date, Kaitlyn was flying to Paris to study abroad!

We played a scavenger hunt game to find all the Chinese zodiac animals!

We found the monkey!

We got a Buddha board for water calligraphy and a monkey drum!
