hide and seek and the Chinese ninja

We whiled away the day playing hide and seek (hotel style) this afternoon.  It was fun and funny.  I'm sure the other residents were wondering about the shrieks of laughter spilling from our doorway and through the walls.  

At one point I was "it" and Jim hid in a lame spot so I found him right away.  Emma followed whoever was "it" around to find the others, so she was following me.  When I came upon Jim I swatted him in the arm, to laughingly "say" that his choice of locales was pathetic.  Emma walked right up to him and rubbed his arm and kissed it.  So sweet and endearing.  The next thing she did?  Kicked me in the shin!  

Straight up defending her father.  Bringing it, ninja style!  

We've had a nice quiet last day off island.  Dinner was noodles for the kids and Jim and I are detoxing from our carbohydrate intake with a vanilla yogurt and fruit meal.  We need about a week or three of those.  My kingdom for a salad.  The boys kingdoms for Chipotle!

We return tomorrow morning and have our American Consulate Appointment in the afternoon.  We'll celebrate tomorrow night with a dinner we've been waiting for...but I'll leave the details until later. :)  

Have a good Monday in America!  We are off to bed as you rise.  
Good night from China!
