This morning we went to a park and zoo. It was fun but very hot. It is 104F here today which is the hottest day they have had in 45 years. Lily is doing OK, but gets exhausted quickly. Once we left there we went to a famous noddle restaurant for lunch - yes I attempted to eat the local food again - so far so good. the noddles were yummy.
Lily has slept most of the afternoon. I am not sure how she is going to do flying tomorrow. It is 2 1/2 hour flight so it will be a good test.
Chris and Mia have gone to get us dinner - KFC again, we know it's safe :).
Next time I post it will be from Ghangzhou we will meet up with 24 other adoptive families from our agency there.
Before we went out today I attempted to get some pictures of Mia and Lily
There goes the arm
She won't look at me
Gotcha before that hand goes up
Distracted with a toy
At the zoo
Jessica our guide spoilt Mia and got her this costume :)
Lily resting in daddy's arms
Clever daddy - who said he couldn't multi-task:)
Way to go Mia with the chop sticks - this girl had noddles for breakfast and lunch
Who needs chop sticks :)
Exhausted after a busy morning

Loving your posts & pics!! We just accepted a referral for a little boy from Gansu!! Can't wait to visit there ourselves!!
Grace!!
Can't imagine trying to get around and see things in that heat. Gosh, just getting out to meals must be a challenge! I'm guessing it isn't any cooler in Guangzhou right now. But, I'm sure the company of the other families will be encouraging!

Hey Rachel,
I'm really enjoying looking thru your blog again. You are such a great writer that I remember so many things that I forgot about our trip to Gansu.
The noodle pic of you and Mia is priceless! So is the one with Mia and Lily when they are leaning on each other. Mia looks as if she is thinking..." I waited my whole life for you!"
So precious! Thank you for sharing!
