A trip to the park and pictures at the White Swan!!

We went this morning to the Yue Xiu Park in Guangzhou. We hailed a taxi from our hote and off we went!!! That is a story in itsself!! The park was beautiful and huge. Inside they had an amusement park. Sierra had her first merry go round ride, she got to drive a car and the big boys got to play bumper cars!!










And Diane B, this is for you. Guess what our friend John wsa doing while we were in the park?Now we know why he wanted to go. David is hooked now too, I think!!!


What a face!!!




Maybe she will be a gymnast!








We had pictures with them dressed in native dresses. Although Sierra looked beautiful she is not a dress kid!!! But I did have tears in my eyes when I first saw her dressed up!!














Judging from the smirk on Sierra's face and the look on Julia's I wouldn't be surprised if Sierra pinched her!!!(only kidding)


The waterfall at the White Swan. Isn't this precious?!!!



David wasn't feling too well this morning, he had a slight fever, but he is doing much better this afternoon. Things are winding down. We will be home soon!!!

Oh the pictures of Sierra in traditional dress are beautiful!! She must be overwhelmed with just the new things she is doing in China, imagine when she gets home! I can't wait to see her. Thanks for the little note on John and his geocache, he must be happy to add China to his map. See I am not the only one!and it is additive. I'm sure David would love it. Thanks again for sharing your journey, I look forward every morning, logging on and seeing what you guys are up to.

What great pictures! I can't wait to talk to you about the trip - I'll have to put away a couple hours, huh!

Glad you're enjoying yourselves, it's fun logging on every morning to see what you've done.

Sierra looks great, and looks like she's starting to smile more for the camera.

See you soon!

Love,

Jessica
