Guangzhou -days12-13

Day 12- Guangzhou zoo
Today we went to the zoo. It was fun but very warm. We got a lot of stares here. Mostly in China people stare at us or smile. At the zoo we mainly had stares. I would just smile back. There was some interesting food at this zoo....you can see sheep on a stick in the picture below. For dinner we went to a local Chinese restaurant where our guide ordered for us. It was good but not as good as the good in Beijing. I think this might be my last Chinese dinner for awhile :)!  I am still very thankful for the daily breakfast buffet. I took a picture of part of the buffet ...it just goes forever.

Day 13- US consulate visit
I don't have any pictures of this because they only allow you to bring in a clear bag with baby supplies. We all took an oath stating that we would take care of our babies and then gave them lots of paperwork. She will be a US citizen when we land in atlanta! For lunch/dinner we went back to Lucy's for some yummy grilled cheese and fries. Wedid a little shopping. Craig was excited to find a knock off north face jacket and backpack for very cheap! It looks just like the real thing. Then I realized Mia needed awhile pair of church shoes so back to the squeaky shoe store :)... They remembered me from before so I talked them down to $8 :)
Today Mia has really started giving kisses and being loving. Before she would just turn away but today she has just been so sweet and is loving kisses!!
Tomorrow we hang out until they deliver Mia's visa at 4:30. Then we take a 3.5 hour van ride to Hong Kong to wait for our 12:45 am flight to Korea which is 4 hours. There we have a 4 hour layover. Then we have a 14 hour flight to atlanta! PLEASE pray for our 33 hour travel home and for Mia since she only likes to sleep in her bed! We will be so thankful to get home!! Although it might have to be a movie night for the boys while mommy and daddy rest our eyes!
