A Little More Shanghai

We all made it back home and are settled again. Grandma Mary Jo sent my mom these pictures of the three days that we spent with her and Grandpa Patrick, and they really show the great time that we had with them!

On the first day, we went to the aquarium. I really liked the jellyfish, and the SCUBA divers who were feeding the fish while we were there:

Then, of course, the exit went through a gift shop and arcade, so Grandma and Grandpa let us have a few rides before heading back to the hotel:

The next day, we went to Century Park, which was super fun! There were more rides to go on:

Some bubbles...we really love bubbles!

And a fountain to run through! We got very, very wet, but it was worth it, because we had an amazing time:

Luckily, it was a very hot day!

And on our last day, we went to Peoples' Square, where we saw some things that we don't see in Indonesia- pigeons! We had a lot of fun chasing them:

Then, we decided to do a little bit of singing and dancing. The Chinese people thought that we were pretty great:

I also got to have some sleepovers with Grandma and Grandpa in their room. Mom and Dad forgot to warn them about some of my sleeping habits, but they soon found out:

So, as you can see, Skye and I had a fantastic time in Shanghai, hanging out with Grandma and Grandpa during the day, and then going out with Mom and Dad at night after their conference. We're really lucky!

Shanghai 2011

Looks like our photos from Shanghai have posted backwards, so try to follow the story backwards. Oh, and we hope to get a lot more picture from Grandma and Grandpa, because we spent the days with them while mommy and daddy were at work.

Here I am boarding the plane to Hong Kong on our way home. I have become a very good flyer and I carry my own bag everywhere in the airport.

Sometimes when it gets heavy we find a cart, and today Skyelar was learning to help too.

Here we are waiting to board the plane. Mommy and daddy couldn't stop saying how proud of us they were. We had a great travel day. Not too much screaming and we behaved.

Now here are some picture from Shanghai. Skyelar is brave when it comes to new food and she loved noodles.

Here I am in Yu Gardens playing with my new sling-shot toy.

Family on The Bund. You wouldn't believe how many buildings, lights and people there are down there.

Yu Gardens again.

Here I am bargaining with the lady for a new dress and some slippers. I had to sing Happy Birthday in Chinese as part of our deal, and she loved it.

By The Pearl Tower.

Cool lights by The Bund.

Look at how cool!

From our hotel room. So many people.

Me and my daddy.

Mommy and Skyelar.

Skye reading before bed.

Fun in a cab on the way home.

Cool statue I saw one night, while out and about.

Getting set to go to Shanghai. Remember these photos were backwards.
