5 Buses of Eton Families shuffled off to a farm in the outskirts of Beijing for a day of "Apple Picking." Did the fact that the apples weren't ripe and more parents came home with plums matter? Of course not. Tom, our Physical Education Director, led potatosack races, jump rope contests, and other hilarious activities. The day was hot and humid, but a wonderful time for new parents and children to get to know one another.
