A Free Day

Today we were planning to visit Shaolin Temple, but it was an all-day trip (2 hours each way), and since most of the babies in the group are sick, everyone decided to just take a day to rest.  It was much needed, so we did a whole lot of nothing.  Maggie took a really long nap, and she woke up kinda out of it for a while.  She perked up later, though, and she and Mary Helen had their first real taste of chasing and screaming together while playing in the room.  They still have their times of friction, but Maggie is tolerating much more of Mary Helen in her face...even looking for it!  And Mary Helen is starting to figure out how she can help calm Maggie down when she's upset.  Touring tomorrow, then off to Guangzhou on Friday!
A little R&R in the room

Brief excursion to the garden behind our hotel

Our dishwashing liquid...scented with lettuce, tomato, yellow peppers, etc.  Of course, lettuce and tomatoes are so aromatic!

Checking out one of the books her big sister picked out for her

Mary Helen tickling Maggie...successfully!

  1. Glad you all took a day to rest. Sometimes that's best. The photos are so fun to look at. They are both adorable - you can see her opening up more and more. So sweet. Have fun!
