Easter Sunday

The easter bunny has agreed to visit our house next week and hope that everyone had a nice holiday. Today we went on a paddle boat and to a truly gargantuan mall (at least compared to those hick malls we've got in Seattle)! Kai got new italian made fast shoes with a "K" on the side of them so don't forget to be very impressed when you see them. He also bought a pretty neat remote control car and has also gotten a couple of swords. Yun Zhen found several fetching articles of clothing with her Mom.

We had a very nice family time this evening. Yun Zhen is a bit ticklish and Kai is a tickler. It was delicious to see both kids smiling and laughing. Very touching really.

I took my first cab ride today. It was so cheap that it makes me question my miles of hiking these last several days. Big grocery store. Very fun to walk through though. The cab was a little crazy and I was watching some truly excellent advertisements in the back of the cab. I, being a cautious traveler on a good day felt very brave to make it back to the hotel. Like being a caveman really returning with food and supplies for the family. I also agonized over instant cereal types for quite awhile.

Yun Zhen eats and eats and eats. It's remarkable and so important to get her fed before she gets very hungry. We're all getting better when she cries and are starting to understand what she's looking for.

Kai and I are also spending good times together playing "wipeout" in the kids playroom at the hotel. Generally speaking the "faster than the faster than the faster than the lion tiger lion tiger boy" wins.
