Shop til You Drop

We thought today would be a relaxing day with not much on the schedule. We slept in and then took our time at breakfast talking to lots of families. Then we set out to do our souvenir shopping. It was exhausting! Jodie had a blast at the shoe store and Brian took care of the kids there with no complaining. You see, he went golfing not once but twice in Kunming so in return Jodie got to shop for kids shoes in Guangzhou. We won't say how many shoes were purchased but it could have been a store record. Cheap, cheap shoes and all of them cost less then one golf trip! (Can you guess who's writing today's post?) We then went to a late lunch and continued our shopping adventures. If only you could just walk in and buy your items it would be quick, but the haggling takes twice as long. Tonight we went out to a night market on a pedestrian street. It was different then we expected at first with many higher end stores, until we were taken back to the famous "back alley's" to look for watches and purses. (If Mandy is reading this she is very familiar). Brian won again and found his watch that he has been looking for. The girls were very good all day, and managed to have a good time entertaining the store employees everywhere we went. They have so much fun together 98% of the time. It's when they both need a nap and both want mom at the same time that they act like true sisters!
