Ping Ping the panda

Look what Julianna's classmates gave her as a last-day-of-school present :)

We named him after the school, and refer to him by his nick name, Ping Ping. 

And we packed him. 

It's hard to receive a stuffed panda the size of your little brother and not bring him to America. 

I guess that's one perk of traveling with a small herd of children - luggage allowance!  [On the way to the U.S. we never fill to capacity, next summer when we head back we'll probably be counting every pound.]   Though I will say that Ping Ping takes up more than his fair share of one duffel!  At least he doesn't weigh much!
