Trip to China
All Days  |  Previous Day  |  Next Day

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 Today was a blast! First the baby slept from 8:00pm-5:30 am! Then they had really good food at breakfast (that is not always the case). Then we went to the 5 Springs Park and Zoo. I don’t think I described the area Evie is from we are right in the Gobi Desert area with huge mountains surrounding the city. It is breathtaking as you drive the streets. The 5 Springs Park was beautiful. The park leads into the zoo. The zoo has a variety of animals in it. We saw 2 panda bears today. I bought a stroller yesterday and Evie slept almost all the way through park in it. She did wake up to see some of the animals; however she was very reserved and quiet. She just kept looking and looking. After the zoo our group went to a restaurant to try the beef noodles. This area of China is known for the beef noodles because a lot of wheat is grown here to make the noodles. The noodles were great, but so were the eggplant, beef, and green tea. When you eat at a restaurant everything is brought out on a big lazy susan and it is served family style. They bring out about 10-15 different items and continue to bring them out. Evie ate some of the eggs, rice, noodles, and potatoes. She tried to eat the table cloth, but did not succeed! When we returned to the hotel, the three of us had a fabulous time playing. She really showed a comical side of her personality. She laughed and laughed! It was the most fun she has had. She loves to stand and hold to something and jump up and down. She has about 6 teeth and loves to have her pacifier almost all day long. All three of us laughed so much and played with her doll. We can’t wait to bring her home. She is taking an afternoon nap right now. She is a good little sleeper so far. We are all having fun, feeling good, and can’t wait until April 10 when we come home! Miss everyone and Love you!
