Playing in the hotel lobby

It's been pretty hot the last few days here in Nanning so we've looked for ways for the kids to burn off some excess energy without spontaneously combusting. The hotel has many adoptive families so they've installed a wood ramp for the strollers and the older toddlers love to use it as a slide. They'll happily play on this thing all day!

Maddy is a very happy little girl and she and Gwen get along very well when they're not competing for the same toy.  In wide open spaces (like the lobby), they'll chase one another and squeal in delight.  Everyone can't help but watch and smile. 

Today was a bit hard for Maddy as it seems that she's finally starting to figure out that this isn't just one really long play date.  She's been very weepy and she cries for her foster mother.  Fortunately, she's really attached to Andrew and he's able to give her some comfort.  She won't let him out of her sight!  In the last picture, she's asleep on him during the 5 minute taxi ride home from Walmart.  How cute is that!
