Our last morning we spent down by the river taking pictures. A lady came up and gave Nicole this flower wreath to wear on her head. They had a park along the river that the kids played at. Rachel and Jonny were showing how flexible they were from their many years of gymnastics. Vika ended up getting hit in the head by one of these things. Jonny's leg slipped off and she was fell right into the path of it as it swung back and hit her in the head. It was a very scary moment because we thought she was going to need to go to the hospital with a concussion and we were in the middle of China. We had no idea where to even take her. We ended up going back to the hotel and put ice on it and just watched her for awhile. Fortunately the impact was mostly on her ear which was bleeding and bruised pretty bad. We left for the airport 5 hours early just in case we needed to fly her out quickly. We were very blessed because she was perfectly fine. She had a little headache for awhile.
We had to get a little exercise in so Ariel lead us in some pushups by the river.
