Tuesday night I got a call from Chris' Mom. She was in Frankfurt, about to board a plane to Shanghai. Wednesday night she joined us for the evening. The girls were super happy to have two Mama's here at the same time. Friday morning both Mama's walked the girls to the bus stop for school. Later that evening Mr. Lu picked us up and brought us to the Hilton for dinner. I nice evening out with the girls!
Saturday morning we went to the school for their Open Day. Fun activities, a chance to meet the teacher's and explore the school.
Mama Hill's leg was not doing well so she went back to the Hotel to rest and see a doctor. Hopefully all is well.
We still need to eat and I promised we would go to The Thai Table for lunch.
On the way home the taxi took the back roads. Which is what I hoped he would do, so Mama could see another side of China. Below is a picture of the side of the road where they sell chickens, ducks and even pigeons. Normally there are a lot of fruits and vegetables too, but not today.
Jill likes to site see like a doggy. She needed wind on her face, because she was hot.
I wouldn't carry her so she asked her big sister to.
It is a beautiful day today. Perfect weather for running thru the sprinkler that the gardener left out. Unfortunately as you might be able to see the girls kept stepping on it and even drove the red dragon over it. They broke it. The gardener came back to move the sprinkler to a different section of grass, then rang my door bell. He was very polite but it was all in Chinese. I called the property management office to help translate. "He thinks my children broke the sprinkler and he bought this. He needs 300 rmb to buy a new one." Yes my children broke it, but I think he could unscrew a certain piece and buy just that new piece, instead of a whole new sprinkler. Anyways I kept the broken sprinkler so he couldn't do that and have a second sprinkler. The girls had fun while it lasted.
