Guangzhou

Yesterday Huihui and I had a good day together finishing up some shopping on Shamian Island with Erica and April, relaxing at Starbucks, and playing at the hotel playground.  He loves to swing and was quite a good shopper.

CJ and C went to the safari where they saw tons of animals.  CJ said it was the best animal park he'd ever been to.  They rode through the grounds on a tram to see animals in natural settings.  Unfortunately, last night, CJ started vomiting.  He missed the visa appointment this morning, but luckily only one parent was needed.  Tomorrow Huihui will receive his visa to come home and then we are free to leave!  We're really praying the rest of us stay well as we will be on a plane in less than 48 hours.

Last night we went out for a group dinner.  The two other families we sat with all went to Nazarene colleges so that was kind of fun.  It's a small world, I guess.  Good dessert is hard to come by here, so we all ended up at McDonald's for ice cream.  Huihui is not a fan, but don't worry, I'm sure I can change his mind.  He's just not used to anything cold.  Nothing is cold here--drinks, buildings, refrigerators. . .

We've pretty much gone swimming every day, so C's been happy with that.  And, there are quite a few kids around his age to play with.  We are going on a riverboat cruise tonight with the entire group.  CJ's feeling better, but not great, so he's going to stay at the hotel. 

I've been pretty sad the last two days missing my girls and missing my cherub's bday today.  I can't wait to love on them when I get home.  (Dad's been pretty sad, too.)  We'll be packing up to come home to you tomorrow, my sweet girlies.

I grabbed a fork and started using it.  I'm quite smug about it.
