Bay and Myra chilling on the bus!

We had a great day today! It was really sunny when we woke up. What is really funny, though, is after we were told that everything went well at the consulate and that we could leave our room, it started thunder storming! It is really just comical at this point! The guide took us into Guangzhou for some shopping...in the rain! We had been singing that song all day..."I saw you, and him, walking in the rain..." just joking about it, and we walked by one of the stores and they were playing it! Very funny moment! We had done so much shopping already, that we just went along for the ride! By the way, Shawn told me earlier, "do you realize that every time someone quotes you a price on something you turn to me and say 'is that all?'" Ha ha! Did not even realize I was doing that so it totally cracked me up!

It did indeed turn out to be a pappa johns night tonight! The guide did not change the restaurant plans, and I was not chancing the getting sick! By the way, I can tell you first hand that the hotel has a great gym. Just very sure my visits are not going to outweigh the visits to the pizza! Going to have to pound the pavement pretty hard next week to be remotely ready for Amelia the following week.

The kids were dead set that we were getting a milkshake at McDonalds while on the shopping trip. Do you know that one of your options for sides besides fries is a cup of corn? Kind of weird for McDonalds! Anyway, Shawn wound up showing a bunch of school kids some card tricks...they were fascinated and it was so funny! Threw a few pics of that in.

Shawn winessed to two more shop owners today. We are following up with one of them tomorrow. Very cool to see our kids sit and watch this!

Myra is goofier and more mischevious by the day! Shows she is getting used to us! The swearing in is tomorrow at the consulate building. Then we start packing!!!! Thank you again for all of your prayers. We look forward to seeing you all! Kisses CG!
