Day 8 with Andrew: Panda Zoo & Shopping - if you can call it that!


Okay-I have lost track of days & posts---we are so very tired of this fast pace we are leading. It seems as if the whole trip is hurry up and wait! Get downstairs at 9, head off for a day of sightseeing-what that really means is travel for an hour to get there, & then only have an hour to enjoy it. By the time we wrap up the kids, break out the strollers & start our touring, there is not enough time to enjoy anything. We are very disappointed. We have done a fly by of all of the beautiful sights. I have looked forward to shopping since we decided we were coming back to China. Yesterday we got to spend one whole hour in a 3 story Pearl Market. There were Coach purses, Northface Jackets & much more. Our guide does not want us to buy anything because they are not real. We can't make her understand that we know that & we want them anyway :) I did get the girls a pair of Ugh boots & Anna Grace thinks she is hot stuff---Precious-She would sleep in them if we let her.
Anna Grace is obsessed with Squatty Potties-It is quite funny-every where we go, she wants to check out the potty. Mema & her have developed a system that works well. I am quite freaked out by them and so is Andrew. He screams each time Hal takes him into one. I am not sure why Anna Grace likes them so much, but she does.
Mema & Ashton are trying to do all of Ashton's math work. Mema is going to be a pro before it is over. Walter is not feeling so well so please say a prayer for him. We fly out in the morning. Andrew's 1st flight & it is 3 hours. I am not sure how we are going to get through the airport with 5 kids, no stroller and all of our luggage--Please pray all goes well.
Andrew, flashing a smile for the camera! He is so handsome!

LOL that is too funny about AnnaGrace & the squatty potties! Will be praying that all goes well getting through the airport. Glad all the kids are not toddlers, that would be scary!
