A Day of Rest

Today was all about rest.
We slept late.  We took our time at breakfast.  We fed the fish.  We spent time at the pool - three hours to be exact and it was delightful.  We visited with new friends who are on this journey with us.  The stories, the families, and the children are all amazing.
We took a walk to the local Chinese equivalent of Target.  It's nice to get out of the hotel room and just be amongst the people of China dodging traffic like we do this everyday!  Our walk was Chapman's time to nap so she cuddled up on my chest and out she went for the next two hours as we browsed about the store.  Maryn was pleased to pull us around the toy department and make sure we saw each and every toy that was ready for purchase.  Thankfully, she just enjoyed her time looking and wasn't really interested in purchasing.
Then we took some time to play on the playground.  Guangzhou weather isn't really as bad as we remember it being in June two years ago BUT it is super humid nonetheless.  Once the girls were looking like they had been for a swim again, we chose to make our way inside to a more accommodating, air conditioned playroom.  The girls loved their time just hanging out!
