Day 4 with Andrew - Forbidden City & Acrobat Show



Today was another great day! We started a day with a tour of the Forbidden City. We walked through a beautiful park to the Forbidden City. It was not very easy with 2 strollers and toddlers. There were hundreds of stairs. Our travel group was awesome helping us pick up the strollers :) It was lots of fun. The weather has just been beautiful. The sun was shining and we actually had to take our jackets off because it was so warm doing all of the walking.
After lunch, me, Ashton, Mary and Kathleen ventured out to buy shoes for Andrew. We walked about 15 minutes down to China Children's store. We were the only Americans around. It was so funny. After buying shoes, we stopped in at Hag N Daz. It was delicious. What a treat!
The highlight of our day was the Acrobatic show. It was amazing. Andrew was mesmerized by it. It was so sweet to watch him clap and enjoy it all. Nana would have been very uncomfortable as there were birds flying all around. It was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
We are enjoying all of the great things about China. Tonight we ate dinner at KFC-We thought the Corn on the cob was awesome. I am not so sure that the "popcorn chicken" was actually chicken. It really scared me :)

Funny note of the day-Anna Grace loves the Squatty Potty==She sings a little song about how much she loves doing the squatty--too funny!
Andrew is doing wonderful-There is no doubt whatsoever that he is our son-we are right where God wants us to be and we are so very blessed!

Oh my goodness I am laughing about Annagrace & the squatty potty. Karys was scared to death of the squatties and did not want to go but...I think we visited the potty every place we went!
