Where in the world are the St. Martin's?: The TV Tower

The TV Tower

A trip to Tianjin cannot be complete without a trip to the TV Tower. I've mentioned before that the TV tower is the structure I always try to find when I'm in the car. Some days that is nearly impossible due to the pollution, but thankfully during my parent's visit, we were blessed with many beautiful, blue sky days!!

Below is a picture of what we were allowed to walk through on our way in. I say allowed, because can you imagine the lawsuit that would occur in the US if anything happened to someone while walking through a construction site?!! No problem in China!!

A view of the city from the top!

Looking down on the world below!!

Favorite Quotes from the kids!

Ethan explained to me what private parts are called in Chinese, "Mommy, in Chinese, the girl part is the target and the boy part is the laser gun." Umm, first off, that is not Chinese and second you are only 4 - where did you learn that??!!
Cooper said to me last night after his tub, "Tell daddy I didn't crap in the tub!!" Thanks Danny for the vocab lessons!

After Ethan fell on the sidewalk, Cooper came over concerned and asked, "What happened honey?" he looked at Eensie's knee and said, "Be careful honey, okay!"
Eensie is looking lovingly at his stuffed horse and says, "I'm going to stuff you in the toilet!"
Ellie sticks her tongue out at me and when she knows I saw it and am about to send her to time-out, she says, "I was just stretching my tongue!"
