San Shan Dao - Day 1

Last week I headed off with Reid and the year 4 kids to San Shan Dao (Three Mountain Island), which is in the middle of Tai Hu, a large lake just to the West of Suzhou:

Reid boarding the "speed boat", which wasn't all that fast, but since it was so old and he steered it haphazardly, it was fast enough for me...

Apparently word got out that a herd of laowei children were arriving.

My crew - the McLain's Platypi (which I'm hoping was the plural form of platypus).  All of the other groups had cool names - Dragons, Panthers, etc.  We tried McLain's Marauders, Hydra, but had little success getting everyone excited about a name.  Finally, I landed on platypus as an homage to Phineas and Ferb...
