Today is a holiday

We have a holiday today and we took the girls to 18 peak mountain before going to our favorite noodle shop for lunch.  After lunch, we took the girls home for a nap and L and I went to the office to catch up on some work.

On the way to the office, I mentioned an observation on Maita.  It seems that she will frequently choose to stay at home instead of going to school whenever she is given a choice.  Today was a holiday for most companies in Taiwan but Maita’s school is open and could take the kids and have classes if the parents had to work.  Some parents did not have to go to work but still took the kids to school.  We know of one set of parents who sent their two kids to school so that they could enjoy the holiday as a couple without the kids.

On the question of Maita choosing to stay at home, we think this is because she knows that we have to plan some sort of activity whenever we are home with both sisters.  Today, the activity was a hike up 18 peak mountain.  As it was a warm day, there was also the ice cream treat that they expect every time we go up this hill.
