March 10

Well, we are in the last few days of our stay and the girls are starting to get more comfortable with us and basically everything. They thought the hotel was their new home. Isabella continues to let me get close in very small doses. She does love her aunt more than me but that’s ok, she kinda a nice lady to love.
We found a book store to day and the girls went nuts!! They were missing school work! We got them loaded up and only gave them 2 - saving the rest for the plane ride and back home.
Isabella was so funny tonight at the restaurant. She was copying everything Stacy said and did down to clearing her throat and then laughed so hard she could hardly eat!! Some of the English words sound crazy to her so and she repeats them as she hear them - she is so goofy. She once again confused us at dinner telling the waitress that her mom was very hungry and she ordered 3 bowl of a bean soup on top of the meal we ordered. Now she tells them in Chinese and the waitresses all love to talk to the girls so the only way we find these things out is when food starts arriving that we did not order!! THEN she proceeded to eat all 3 bowls and was so full that she could hardly walk. Could not even jump down steps which she ALWAYS does!! Mental Note: Get card written out that says to not take any orders from these two girls - only get noodle soup for them - moms will not pay for any extras!!
Also, Isabella found the game room which is only open in the evenings. She has wanted to go very bad and so when Stacy & Keira were getting glasses, we checked the time and waited. She has a new watch and I could show her when they opened. She has a very hard time waiting and after about ½ hour - she showed me her watch and it showed that they were now open……. Only thing was I knew it would not be for another hour……. She changed it herself to show the time they opened thinking we could go in!! She could not even look me in the face when I asked her about it! Smart little girl!!
Zoo is planned for tomorrow and our guide is taking us to get glasses (frames) and also piano music!! Can’t wait I’m sure the girls will love it.
Sorry no pictures to post. Can’t imagine how few pictures we have!! Such a busy trip but I’ll have some tomorrow for sure including Keira in her new glasses. She can't wipe the smile from her face and just looks all around - wanted to sleep in the also AWWWWWW.
