We've now entered the "boring" phase of our trip - with waiting until our US consulate appointment on Thursday morning. Yesterday (Monday) we ran back to the medical clinic to have Mia's TB test read - which came back quite negative... so we're golden. After that, we ran out to do alittle grocery shopping (noodles, water, Kinder eggs). We also found decent chop sticks and children's music CD's (... yes, Dear family, we got you one too!!)
So the rest of the day was spent relaxing - which means spending time by the little playground by the hotel pool. Mia absolutely LOVES the playground... we probably spend about an hour there each time.
Today, we're about to head out to the Guangzhou zoo. Should be fun! :)

Mia and Ashlyn in bed together
Each night, Mia has been arranging the girl's slippers at the end of the bed (we KNOW it's not Ashlyn)
Mia found a new use for her little arm :)
So cute!!! How was the zoo? We are planning on it with our group in the next few days.
ReplyDeleteJanice,
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely loved the zoo! It was beautiful to walk through and there was lots of the larger animals to see....bears, giraffes, tigers, elephants, rhinos, hippos, and monkeys. Mia's only dissapointment was that the animals were locked in and she couldn't be in there with them. In her city they have a monkey park where the monkeys roam free... she thought this would be the same.
Did y'all get to feed the giraffes? There is a nice park in Guangzhou where you can paddle boat. It was across the street from the China Hotel Marriott. Thanks for the CD!!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, the feeding section was closed during the time we were there much to Mia's disappointment. She was determined to feed them anyways and even threatened to throw her headband to the giraffes as food. Fortunately, common sense won over.
