Pictures from Guangzhou

The following pictures are from our stay in Guangzhou. This was the last part of out trip. This is the city where the American Consulte is...everyone who adopts from China will stay here to finalize the adoption with the U.S.

This is a common site in China...laundry out to dry. This ia a dinner boat ride down the pearl river. I missed it :( I had some horrible stomach issues..that lasted through the next day when we flew home. I feel bad Merry missed because of me too. Long story! Todd and the three below went!

We had a day at the zoo too...look in the background, in the cage, and you will see a panda

One day ws good for swimming...the girls were napping at the time. It was a nice pool...too bad we didn't have nicer weather to swim.




Starbucks in China...nothin' is finer !!!!!!!

These are pictures inside the White Swan Hotel where we stayed for the last leg of our trip. It has an indoor waterfall and a little bridge that is over a pond filled with goldfish.

She did this all on her own!! No posing from me at all!! Too cute!

Megan..posing. Her words before every picture is "strike a pose"

looking at goldfish

Todd thought this was funny...The old bike carring a big screen TV

A park near the hotel

This is a giant ship carved from Jade...this is inside the White Swan hotel

This is Laurans medical exam...a very basic medical exam! Basically..height, weight and make sure they do not have a fever!

This is an area outside a mall we went shopping at. Megan is walking with our guide!

In side the mall..It is 6 or 7 levels high

Bath time and a smile!!

Lauran started out giving Todd rasberries on his cheek...and it turned into kisses and cuddles!! SOOOO cute!

oh...and laughs too!

At least someone in our family has learned to stop and smell the roses along the way!
