Day 5 - Do we have to leave?

It was no surprise that today was like all the other days...making it tough to leave. Our flight left at 8:50 pm, so we spent the day in the water & in the sun - soaking up and trying to store some warmth before returning to Shanghai. The week here was truly a week in paradise, with perfect weather and lots of time in the water. The boys got in another round of archery before joining the girls at the pool.

The kids loved doing 'walking on water', a game organized by the resorts activities coordinator. As you can see below, Justin did pretty well - able to walk a desent way on water, Amanda did the best as she was able to maintain her balance well, Tanner - well, I'll let you be the judge of that!!

The kids took their last romp on the beach, catching a couple different types of crabs, including another hermit crab that Justin let crawl all over him. It was tough leaving, but we had to go back to reality. Reality in this case was a red-eye flight that arrived at just after six in the morning in Shanghai. It was drizzling and about 40 degrees. Ron was still wearing shorts, refusing to let go until the last moment. If given the chance, we will go back...it was a great place to spend a vacation!!

Goodbye Paradise!!!!
