By the time we got going today, the temperature was already pretty high - close to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Michelle and Karen are still a bit worn out from the big trip here from Shanghai - as well as their full day at Universal Studios yesterday. Still, they were troopers - taking in the sights, sounds, and smells of the stores we visited.
We stocked up on waffles and breakfast cereal at Target, then made our way to Sprouts to load up on fresh fruits and veggies.
Back at home, we all enjoyed a delicious lunch of sandwiches, fruit, and snacks, then spent a little bit of time relaxing before resuming more studies later in the afternoon.
Michelle's family stopped by later in the afternoon - they had been doing their own errands around town. When they said goodbye, I met with each girl separately to begin the novel selected earlier in the morning. Karen and Michelle both got a good start on their reading.
After a dinner of pasta with marinara sauce, Zach and I walked with Karen and Michelle to Starbucks. We met friends on the way and were able to introduce the girls to them and their kids. We knew that Michelle and Karen were tired, but we wanted them to try staying up a bit longer, in order to get back on a regular schedule.
The last order of business for the day has been creating blogs - Karen, Michelle, and Winona each started a blog this evening, including a few photos taken today, along with captions that describe them.
I hope Karen and Michelle get another restful night of sleep. I'm excited about visiting Claremont Village tomorrow - and we will leave early for that trip and save the studying portion of the day for the afternoon :)
