It is a rainy day here in Guangzhou....but, we were sports and chose to participate in the last official tour in China. I do not even know the significance of Yuntai Park but it was filled with a lot of beautiful flowers that were grouped together to make designs....it was raining so we did not stay long....I was of course most entertained by the people....then we went to visit a Buddhist temple, Six Banyan Temple. The babies were all blessed by a Buddist monk....Mason-Kate was sleeping for this part of the show so we did not participate....plus, I wasn't so sure about it anyway. The boys of course wanted to be right in the middle of it and we let them....about halfway thru it, Colin came back and started asking questions.....we then came back to the hotel and ordered yet another Papa Johns pizza....that is our staple here, that and Lucy's. We continue to meet amazing families and here their stories....I would say the majority of the families here now are special needs....it is so much fun talking to the other families and hearing their stories....no two are the same. We have met people from Georgia, SC -Charleston to be exact-, Oregon, Rhode Island, New Jersey, California....just neat. And the shopping on the streets is cool...you can always bargain. My favorite place thus far has been this shop called "Jordons"....Jordon is a great guy....his personality reminds me of the two wedding planners in Father of the Bride....he is a lot of fun and we have visited his shop many times, everytime he remembers us. He loves Mason-Kate's name. We purchased our first pair of "squeaky shoes"....those little squeakers may have to come out soon! MK loves them though.....she will just laugh when she has them on. So that is it for today.....enjoy some pictures.....we are trying to get the perfect "tiger rag" shot....easier said than done....and I rebeled today, the rest of the family has on their Clemson best....I, on the other hand, have on my black with South Carolina hat....have a good night....
ps....we can't read the comments here but I know that we will enjoy reading them when we return....we can check our email though....

Hey Beth,
I've been away from the computer for a few days. You guys sound like you are having a good time. Your family sure is cute, and MK looks like she is thrilled by all of you. Wow, you make it look so easy! Ha Ha Ha, I know this has been long, hard and truly amazing.
