What We Did Today

As soon as she gets up, she's ready to go face the world. She's a slow waker-upper, but when she's up, she's off. We've gotten into the pattern of: breakfast, hotel playroom, bathroom break, then bye-bye shopping time!

We ventured out into Guangzhou city again. We ate lunch at McDonald's and this is Brett and Lili in the play area. (we were supposed to take our shoes off, but no thank you!!---Elsie!!) :)

Hi-ya. Brett finally got a sword and a nifty pair of Chinese jammies!

LILI LIKED THE POOL!!!!!!!!!!

This is such a major deal, I can't even tell you. We've been to the pool 3 times and each time she would shut down and cry. She wouldn't even go near the pool area.

Today Jeff had to go to the bank. I really didn't want to sit in the room alone with 2 kids, so I decided to attempt going swimming, so after she went to the bathroom instead of putting her panties back on I showed her her suit. She ripped off her clothes and squealed like she knew what it was. I blew up her arm floaties and swim ring and we were off. (by the way, when I put on my suit, she said 'beeyuck', thanks, kid, I knew that!)

I was nervous as we approached the first pool area, but she pointed and laughed. We got to the big pool and she ran to the side and sat right in the water. She had SO much fun splashing Brett. She thought that was the bomb!!
Jeff was gone for almost 2 hours and when he came back we were STILL swimming. We only left because it started to rain.

Who are the cutest kids in the world??
