3 Month Review + VIP (Jesse)

Speaking exercise

3 months earlier my husband and i took my son to hangzhou to have a short holiday when it rained heavily in 3 days. it was the first time that 3 of us took a trip together and it was a risk for us to take our son to have a trip together because he was really young and we had to take a lot of things including his daipers and clothes and bottles and pyjamas and we had to take tons of things. the trip is wonderful in that we that we went to the lingyin temple and west lake, and we took a walk after the rain stopped along the lake, and my son was so excited to take the train.
