Momma is refreshed and we have a relaxing day today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are hanging out playing at the hotel outdoor playground and swimming the whole afternoon in the awesome pool!!!!!!!! The weather is beautiful outside. A hot 87 degrees and perfect for a pool party in the afternoon!

Fun playday!!!!!!! So schedule and no where to go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Paperwork is done...just wait for officals to sign and complete. Our Consulate Appointment is on Thursday at 10:00 am and then we pick up our visa on Friday and leave for Hong Kong!!!!!

Gabriella is loving the experience and taking everything in!!!!! She's ate octopus, caviar, mussels, peking duck, escargo (spelling?), calamari, steamed buns, sushi, salmon pate, and other foods that I don't even know how to spell or describe!!!

It is wonderful to see all the smiling faces, fun activities and sights from China you are experiencing. I can tell everyone is feeling so much better by the happy smiles. The hotel play park looks fantastic.
Wow, Gabby is really the food experimenter!! Way to go, girl. I'm sure glad you are having fun while you wait for the final paperwork. I hope the next few days pass quickly for all of you.
Thanks for all the great photos and updates. It's great to read about your adventures.
Hugs, Shellie
