Smiles and Giggles!!


Today was another day of hanging out together.  We watched the horibble hockey game on the television in the hotel and were shocked at the poor show put on by the Canucks!!

We just hung around the hotel for the rest of the day and just relaxed again.  
Jazzy played with Daddy and Nanna Lee and in the afternoon spent a good two hours swimming around in the pool.  Ali and Jazz were playing "Whale Rider" and swimming lengths in the pool.  Her swimming has advanced in leaps on this trip!  
She was even doing handstands and flips in the water!  She started out in the Disney pool not wanting to get water in her ears or eyes....Wow!

Lilanna went to have her photo taken for the Visa work we have to do next week in Beijing and had a bit of perfomance anxiety and cried at first.  I took out her rattle and she was ready and then the photographer could not get her flash
to work.  When it finally went off, Lilianna started crying again.  It took a little while but we got the shot we needed eventually!  Then she and I went back up to the hotel for a nap and play time and boy did we have fun!  We had some
great floor time play and some real genuine giggles together.  Fingers running up her belly and tickling her neck were hilarious to her and having her feet pat
her cheeks appeared to be one of the funniest things that anyone had ever done!  

We have video and will have to post later when we get home.  


I have included only one photo for this post but that smile says it all!!

Tomorrow we recieve her Chinese Passport and other paperwork and that frees us up to head to Beijing and start her immigration work at the Canadian Embassy on Friday.  We travel on her birthday and then the consulate appointment is Friday so we will have a little birthday party for her with the group on Friday or Saturday!  


Oh, we had a great day and it was nice to see Lilianna relax a little!
