Parks & Pearls

Today we visited another park.  This one was the most beautiful we had seen since being in China.  It had all kinds of decorations on display for the new year, beautiful flowers, palm trees, and other exhibits, such as Angry Birds.  Kyle was thrilled.  It was very warm outside, probably in the 70"s.  Samantha and Kyle were sweating running around.  We took time afterwards to visit a local pearl factory and outlet where we got Samantha a strand of pearls for later in life.  It was a much better day for Kris because Samantha was his buddy.  At times I think he was overwhelmed with so much love from her and Kyle.  The funniest thing was when Samantha told the guide in Chinese that she can speak English.  Another thing she told the guide when Kyle was sliding down a concrete incline was that she was not going to do that because it was not clean!  She likes to play rock, paper, scissors.  We enjoyed Papa Johns tonight in our room.  In addition to pizza and cheese sticks, the kids had spaghetti.  I had some vanilla coke with it from the 7-11 next door.  We are feeling like we are at home.  (Not really, but trying to keep it as close as we can!)  Tomorrow should be a really fun day.  We go on a safari.
