4th Day with Myra Jane

Missing you Carson!
Loving Mommy
Tickle time with Daddy!
God Is Good...look at this smile!

The boat tour last night was really great! They really light up the city of Guangzhou along the river at night, so we put some pics of that on this post. Today we went to this beautiful park that was nothing but trails and vegetation. Shawn was in heaven (he is the gardener in the family, for those of you who don't know!) There was also this huge statue of these 5 goats that is some big landmark in the city. So our guide, Connie, tells us that we need to take a family picture in front of this staue. We pose and then begin to realize that there are all these other cameras pointed at us snapping pictures! It was hillarious. The kids just gave us another one of those "what's the deal" looks and we came back with the "smile and wave" look! We realize besides looking different, the Chinese are not used to seeing such big families. Even our guide longs for more children, but she is only allowed her one son. Just another freedom we take for granted.

The time is really going pretty fast here because they keep us pretty busy. Tomorrow we take her for her medical appointment for her visa, and the other families from our agency will be arriving from their other provinces. Everyone has to pass through this province before leaving with their child. There are also some more tours planned for the following days. I believe today is the day that I am going to finally darken the door of the gym here! Pappa Johns delivery is going to start catching up with me if not!

Miss u Carson! xoxox
