The Big Buddha

Every week around Wednesday, Pete always asks me, "So, Jinxy, what do you want to do this weekend? Maybe we should go to the Big Buddha." This went on all year last year and was threatening to continue throughout this year as well. Well, today we finally made it out to the Big Buddha with Bob and Jen.

Here's Lucy doing her signature scrunchy face on the tram ride up.

Here's our first sighting of the BB from the tram.

Being the overprotective mom I have become, I made Pete use an umbrella while carrying Lucy to block her from the sun. He said he looked like a tool, but in the end he didn't really care, as he is just as overprotective as I am.

We had to hike up a set of stairs to get to the top.

Here are Pete, Lucy, and the umbrella almost at the top.

I absolutely loved these statues that surround the Buddha, bearing gifts.

I'm not sure that this picture demonstrates how enormous this guys is, but he's huge.

More gift bearers - as you can see I got kind of obsessed taking pictures of them.

It was a pretty nice little Sunday. Back to work tomorrow already - at least it is only two more weeks until our next break. Really, as much as I would like to be a stay-at-home mom, you can't beat the breaks in the job. :)
