We were up at 5 something again. It was so early that it took me a couple tries at the mall before able to pick up breakfast for us. We had some free time on our own as we did not meet up with the relatives until lunch for dim sum at the hotel restaurant. The same family from yesterday plus Rebecca’s family were there today. The boys did well greeting them, then drew in their pads at the table while we ate. Connor has been  loving shrimp lately so he enjoyed eating the shrimp dumplings. We took a walk with everyone at the mall for a bit then excused ourselves to take a nap before our next gathering.

     By 6pm, we took the subway to meet up with my elementary school friends. This was the biggest gathering yet with 10 classmates and our grade school teacher. One classmate brought his wife and an 8 year old daughter. It had been 11 years since I last saw some of them, so it was great seeing the familiar faces again. Shortly after we sat down, Connor had a bad stomachache, but fortunately after Stuart took him out for some fresh air and a short walk, he came back feeling better. The boys were probably “Asian fooded” out or the menu was a different type of Chinese food that they didn’t find too interesting, so neither of them, as well as Stuart, ate much. However, they stayed in the seats well to draw with Stuart, and at some point, Logan also went over to watch some videos with my friend’s daughter. I had a good time catching up and reminiscing some old schools stories with the classmates. By 9:30pm, both boys looked so tired that we had to say goodbye to everyone. They however seemed to have awoken enough to enjoy the subway ride back. After a snack at the hotel, the boys wanted to share the bed again. We wrapped up another late night at 11:30pm.
