Fun at Shamian Island
Today we had a great time visiting Shamian Island a famous spot in Guangzhou. It was beautiful and we really enjoyed the warm sunny weather. We had NO exciting drama incidents today, thankfully!! The kids each bought "treasures". Madisyn found some neat sweaters and Chinese hairpins and the boys each found another sword they had to have. Rhylan now has shoes, squeaky shoes! We have had some better food lately and the kids have not complained and are eating!! Yayyyy! Braden chose eel last night because his uncle Nick told him to try something new while in China, and he cleaned it ALL up. The kids are having a great time with the other kids in our group, three other families all traveled together along with 3 sets of grandparents. Mom was sick today but thankfully it passed quickly. Rhylan is doing great and each day we fall even more in love with her. We are SO thankful and she seems to fit into our family so well. She now will play on the floor and let me out of her sight for at least a few minutes. She has a constant smile and is loving the games of peek a boo and patty cake. We have read every comment and are sorry that we are not replying but internet is difficult to connect to here and is sporadic. Madisyn, Braden, and Cameron wish their friends the best and miss you all! Love from Guangzhou!!

Sounds fun! Squeaky shoes. How fun! Naomi loved hers. Wishes she could still wear them. Ha! Zoe was in shock that Braden was eating eel and a little grossed out. :) Cute Monkey hat. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all are having a great time.....in between eel, illness, near-theft, etc. We're following your blog daily and are really enjoying it. We look forward to meeting little Rhylan in person!
ReplyDeleteSo very glad to hear you are all doing well :) Way to go Braden you are braver than me. The Broncos beat the Patriots today so they are going to the Super Bowl!! I`ll let you know who wins 2nd game. Miss you all and can`t wait for you to get back!!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer and family, tell Braden that the Denver Broncos and the Seattle Seahawks are the 2 teams in the Super Bowl. Looking forward to next Wednesday when I`ll get to meet Rhylan :)
ReplyDeleteYou're my hero, Braden! Sounds like you are having fun, except for being sick...
