As we walked towards the new and improved American Consulate, we noticed the Canton Tower. Ryan has been doing a bit of research on this structure....it is the largest tower in China and it was recently home to one of the Amazing Race challenges....
the kiddos were all dressed to impress....these five littles have been troopers during our stay in China! They have all enjoyed each others company....little Lilah may have been missing her two big sisters at home but MK and Maddox were quick to step up and engage her in a bit of girl play while Zach taught us a little Chinese - first on his "most important Chinese words?" Trash can! We all know where each trash can is strategically placed in Guangzhou, China thanks to our little trash can guide, Zach! What an awesome little guy!
The Consulate was all new to us....and it was filled with people waiting for their opportunity to enter. We even saw a young Chinese couple adopting a baby....very sweet!
We quickly snapped a photo outside before entering to take our oath and fulfill the US side of Maryn's adoption....
we were in and out in no time! We came back to the hotel with thoughts of taking pictures around the gardens but during our breakfast buffet, we looked out to see a pouring down of rain! So, we came to our room and rested for the better part of the afternoon.
Finally, when we had reached the point of no return due to being trapped in our room all day, we called up our friends, the Faulkners, for a playdate at the hotel playroom. The children played beautifully while the adults chatted and took care of some money business. Then it was out to dinner one last time in Guangzhou! Tekila Mexican was our choice for the evening, not too shabby!
We have had a good time getting to know these guys! We are always so thankful for the friends we meet during our China days!
