Our Favorite Things in the Neighborhood

We spend a lot of time at the pool, walking around the area, and smelling flowers. There is a Chinese woman named Rose who lives at the Foundation who Laila is fond of. In Rose's room there is a large, laminated picture of a tulip garden. When Laila realizes that Rose is home, she quickly leaves wherever she is downstairs and heads directly to Rose's room for three reasons. 1) to smell the tulips in the picture, 2) to say hello to Rose and 3) there is usually a snack involved. There are huge, huge carp that live in the pond around the corner from our house...the photo with Mo, Laila, and our new friend Brian is them checking out the fish.
