Day 2-ballet, playland, and TV tower

Day 2 with the family went really well!  Emily got to show Mimi, Pappy, and Aunt Sarah a couple of her favorite things to do and then we joined my Chinese teacher and her family for dinner.

THE SCHOOL

My parents and I rode out to the school first thing in the morning on our school "bus" so I could finish up a few things.  I enjoyed showing them around the school and giving them a glimpse into what our lives look like here and where we spend most of our time.  Sorry, I forgot to take pictures!

THE EXERCISE PARK

While we were at the school, Aunt Sarah took Emily to the "Exercise Park", one of her favorite places to go.  Emily enjoyed being the tour guide, and I'm glad that she was able to find her way back to the apartment!  :)

BALLET

Saturday mornings have been ballet days, but since school is out we have switched to twice during the week.  When we returned from the school, Emily was already dressed in her ballet outfit, thanks to Aunt Sarah!  We ate lunch at home and then headed to ballet, where Emily was able to show off her moves.

PLAYLAND

We had a few hours to spare before meeting Linda, my Chinese teacher, for dinner, so we walked to the mall and got coffee from Starbucks and then headed over to another one of Emily's favorite places....  the "Playland".    Emily enjoyed driving a Cheetah and spinning in circles!

TV TOWER

Afterward, we headed over the the TV Tower for dinner.  I was excited to introduce my family to Linda and her daughter, Joy, who is Emily's age.  We have enjoyed getting to know them this year.  We enjoyed the incredible view from the top of the tower.  We ate dinner at the very top, and as we ate, the floor rotated in a slow circle so we were able to view the entire city!  (This is similar to the "The Stratosphere").  The food was....  well, I was sick for 2 days.  But the view was worth it!
