Sunday July 19th...we walked several miles today.

So if you go to bed early....the boys get up early. They were up at 5am ready to go. So we got ready, ate breakfast, and even sat in the restaurant for a while and it was only 9am.

We came back to the room and the boys played hide and seek...they had to be really creative! We went to the park for a few hours, the boys (including Brian) invented their own game...they had to throw the football into the middle of a tire swing and if they made it, they stepped back 12 inches. Brian ended up winning, with Max only one level behind him.

We walked to China Town....all the shops are closed on Sunday. We were going to ride the bus just for fun around town...but we couldn't understand the bus driver, so we got off and just walked. We finally made it to McDonald's! What an adventure...Max doesn't eat french fries so he wanted to sub fries for apples, the lady looked at me and said oh, I don't know if we do that....the manager says no they don't. So I buy individual apples. I look over at the kids meal and guess what...you can sub apples for fries. You can only get soda with your meals, or pay $3.45 extra for tea...which was a Lipton tea bag and a pot of hot water. I ended up getting a cup of ice and poured the hot tea over ice. And they don't have refills on soda, so $40 later....we learned it is just better to stick to the menu and not veer from it and that it is about the same price to eat at a "restaurant".

We walked back to the hotel, Max rode his bike around for a little while and then we all took what was supposed to be a nap at 5p....the boys are still asleep and wanted to stay asleep instead of going swimming. So, it looks like it will be another 5am morning on Monday. I better get back to bed...it is 930pm.
