Family Day

Today was a very low key family day – no planned activities.  We slept in and took it slow getting down to breakfast (almost missing it)!  We decided to venture out and catch a cab to do some shopping.  It was much different that the US.  There were so many vendors/stores crammed in places.  It was set up like a mall (6 stories high), with 500 – 600 stores per level.  I use the term store very loosely.  It is a ton of merchandise crammed into a very small section and vendor after vendor (many with the same items).  It was almost a flea market atmosphere.  We made a few purchase of toys for the kids.  It was pouring down rain when we were ready to leave so we had to wait – well, Sarah was not happy about that and had one of her screaming fits.  After the rain stopped we were able to find a cab back to the hotel. 

We are quickly finding out that Sarah likes things her way and when they don’t go that way – she likes to SCREAM!!!   I love that very cute little girl – but we are slowlytrying to let her know that we know best.

Once we got back and had a nap we just stayed in and played.  It has rained most of the day – we did make it to the playground for a little while between the rains and then tonight over to McDonalds for a sundae.  Sarah has decided that she does like ice cream.  She would go from person to person looking for some.

The other AWAA family arrived this evening so it will be nice to have someone else to go around with.  Tomorrow morning Sarah has her medical exam (to check her TB test).  Please say a quick prayer, it has a red ring around the spot of the test, while I don’t think she has TB they said sometimes if it is questionable they send her for additional tests and it could impact when we get to leave.

We did not take the camera with us today so we didn’t take a ton of pictures like normal, but plenty to show off her cuteness!!
