On this Monday, there was no work and no school for Mid-Autumn Festival. Emersyn was thrilled to sleep until noon. She has had an early mornings every weekend. The Concordia tennis team (non-Asian) have been asks to Ball Boy/Girl at the Shanghai Masters. To do this, the students are Ball Boy/Girl at matches on Sundays. They need to learn how to be Ball Boys/Girls. Emersyn and Grant (Yanlord tennis player) are leaving in a taxi at 6am.

Eleri wanted an afternoon family river walk. There was no way our teen was leaving her room on the first day off she has had since school started. So the four of us went…Eleri, Roxi, Jim and I. Eleri rolled and we walked.

The Shanghai Tower is almost closed in at the top. Always fun to get a different angle on the buildings.

Jim gave Eleri a lift up the stairs so she wouldn’t have to side-step them to the top.

The end of the river walk…for now. The walk will continue once they finish the construction. This walk opened about three years ago. Our family enjoys afternoons walking along the river. Roxi loves it the most! A river walk is always a longer walk than a circle around Yanlord.
