After purchasing way too many sticker activity books, we headed to the big empty concrete laden communist-esque plaza near Chana's house because two random guys have set up a bouncy castle there. It was intriguing, because during our time there our kids were the only ones jumping. Several other Chinese mothers/grandmothers stopped by but they seemed to be more interested in observing (and taking photos) of our four little white kids jumping inside. They watched for several minutes, tried to force their children to take photos with our children, resorted to just taking photos of our kids and then left without letting their kids experience the joys of bouncing around on huge inflated objects. Odd.
"Doesn't that look like fun, Son? Well you aren't going inside...you just stand there and look while I take a few pictures of those little white kids bouncing around."After lunch, I took Lydia to a little nail salon, where we both had manicures (Lydia's first), and Lydia also had her toes painted. Marcus patiently watched Cars on the portable DVD player and made goofy faces at girls working in the salon. The price was supposed to be 90RMB, but somehow ended up increasing to 120RMB by the time all was said and done. Still, $17 total isn't too bad for this:

Fancy nails! What a fun way to end your adventures...you deserve the royal treatment!
Almost forgot...the experience with the bouncy castle is hilarious, LOL! It cracks me up that your family is the main attraction.
Beautiful nails! Those flowers look picture perfect - did the manicurist do them by hand or are they stickers? Sounds like you had a skip-school worthy kind of day!
