Thursday, March 13 Guangzhou Zoo

Today we went to the Guangzhou Zoo. All of the kids really seemed to like it. Last night Steven was up for about 3 hours (Owen put him in the crib at midnight when he was asleep and hoped that he would sleep the rest of the night there, but at 2 am he awoke and cried for 3 hours....of course Owen slept though most of it. I told him that we were not doing that again till we are back home), so he was tired and wanted to be held most of the time rather than walk or be in the stroller.

In the afternoon, Steven and I took about a 3 hour nap before meeting Dan/Cindy/Danika & Chuck/Caroline/Mia for supper at 5pm.

During nap time Laila called to see if we wanted to join the Strout in visiting Dong Guan CWI...I really wanted to so we will be going. Steven seems to be doing really well, so I think he can handle it. We will make sure that we are with him the whole time as we don't want him to regress. I was really not expecting to go so this was a surprise. I was not able to visit either Emily's or Melody's orphanages so am very glad to be able to go this time. I don't know if we will be allowed to see any of the other kids or take photos) other than outside. (They did take indoor photos for us on one of the cameras, but did not use flash so one 4 photos in that set turned out).

Yah....the panda was out and we got to see him.
All 3 kids...Chuck & Mia, Cindy & Danika (not sure if I spelled that right) & Steven with me.
