Day at the Zoo


We had a great day at the Guangzhou Zoo. The weather was perfect about 76 degrees & just the right amount of humidity. Hudson LOVED the zoo! He was running to see all the animals & was doing his best at repeating the english name of each one. It was more fun for us to watch his reaction than the animals themselves. He walked the whole way. We haven't had a stroller to put him in and I was a little concerned for today, but he did awesome. All the families had a good time I think. Our guide Rebecca then took us to a local dumpling house for some lunch. The meal was wonderful & Hudson lasted until we got back to the White Swan & but he is now crashed out.


We may go to the Fish Market after he wakes up, not sure yet. I am really craving some American food. We have held out this long, but I think tonight we will order some pizza. Tomorrow we wait to hear how our paperwork is looking at the Consulate & then in the afternoon we are going shopping. I think we are going to the Pearl Market (Colie I'll get your earrings for you). If anyone has any pearl requests please let me know by email asap. Then tomorrow night we take a Pearl River boat cruise. They do a laser light show & light up all the buildings along the river.....it's actually pretty neat to see. Hudson should enjoy it. We spoke with my parents this morning & they were headed up to Aunty Lala's to pick up Ravenna. Thanks Lala & Danny for playing with her. Mom & dad we will call tomorrow morning.


Hope you enjoy the slide show & that you are all doing well. I put he animal pictures in there mostly for the kids viewing this blog. We are so excited to come home. Loves & kisses to Ravenna for us!

Hi guys,
Love the slide show. It looks like you guys are having a great time getting to know each other. These are the memories that will last a lifetime. Just a couple more days. We can't wait to meet him.
Love

Beb, I can't view the slide show. Looks like your mom had trouble too but then others could see it. I'll have to check back later. Sounds like you guys are having a blast! Only 3 days until you come home! Sorry you missed celebrating St. Patty's last night - don't worry, Eric celebrated enough for all four of us! ;) Love you!
