2 1/2 weeks of rain!! What to do?

We are finally done (hopefully!) with this crazy amount of rain here! I think we were up to like 17 days of straight rain.. Thankfully Rilynn was at school, but with an active toddler being stuck in the apt. is not an option! So we hit up some museums, played the Wii, went swimming, and of course played at the indoor playgrounds..

Hard to see, but check out Brady's score on Wii Bowling- 193!!!!!! He seriously bowled the whole game himself too :) The 141 is Chad.. HA!

My goal this summer was to check out some of the great parks here, however it ended up turning into checking out the museums :) Last week we checked out the Shanghai Animation & Comics Museum. Really wasn't too sure what to expect, but for only having to pay 30rmb ($4.50) was worth going. Brady wanted to wear his Spiderman outfit, which was fitting :) It was a nice place, but probably geared more towards older kids and dads.. However, they had a lot of action figures so Brady thought that was cool. Also, the best part was we were the ONLY people there!! That never happens here :)

Chad left last Wednesday and will be gone until Friday. Weekends are always the hardest time without him, but thankfully Saturday was completely booked! We started at one of our great friends here for a bday party. It's starting to feel like a ghost town around here amongst the expats (EVERYONE leaves for the summer), but still managed to have lots of friends to celebrate with.

Came home and went down for naps and then headed over to this new hotel with a HUGE adventureland area for the kids. In order to play here you have to be a member, which is ridiculously expensive, so when I saw a kids event was going to be there we were all over it! For only like $30, the kids played for a couple of hours, enjoyed a great BBQ buffet, and then it ended with a movie filled with blankets and pillows for the kids to lay on. The BBQ and movie were supposed to be outside, however the rain stopped that. Either way the kids had an absolute blast!!

Look way up high!

Sadly, our swim classes have ended for the summer, but I can't believe how much they have both improved. Will definitely be continuing in the fall.

The kids are excited to show off their mad swimming skills this summer to all of you!! So excited that we will be home for 7 weeks!!! Woohoo
