Today was less than a relaxing day. We headed out in the a.m. to the government office for the babies visa (not a credit card) we were suppose to be only about 20 min. however when we arrived there were several groups in front of us. While we were there 89 babies went through there system, needless to say it took us longer than what we thought. We then rushed back to the hotel to get a quick bite and have our bags packed and at the door for 1:30 so the bell boys could load them in the bus. We all checked out and of in the bus we left. About half way on our journey a car (audi) was coming the wrong way down the street (trust me this happens a lot) heading straight for the bus and in most cases they swerve the last minute however he decided not to so the bus driver had to slam on the brakes and she stalled out. There we were sitting on the side of the road no go. At this point our most wonderful guide Cindy went into action and got on the cell phone. Cindy not knowing sitting relaxed in the 7th row was her knight and trust me folks with his bare hands Gary jumped too the challenge with the preacher man at his side and before you new it Gary was excepting a roaring crowd. Off we drove into the sunset. Now the speed had to be increased as we lost about 45 min.
We arrive at the airport only to find our flight to be delayed for 1 hr. so much for the rushing. Now we new the time we arrived in Beijing was going to be very late. The flight was 2 hrs with some turbulence not bad. We finally arrived to our motel around 9:30. It has been a hectic days for the babies. We couldn't get to our rooms fast enough and just crash. We are still so amazed at Roshandra, what a happy baby, everyone comments on how happy she is , we already know we have been blessed knowing she was chosen for us. Kaio as I am 1 day behind that means your last show for the dinner theatre is now over, I just know you were the best. Luca you'll probably playing hockey this weekend, play safe buddy you know I hate missing your games.
Love you lots Daddy.
P. S. Daycare and kindergarten friends tomorrow we see the Panda Bears Catherine is so excited!
