Today, our Chinese guide walked up and Mya immediately wanted to go to her and I took her right back and said No Mya, stay with Mommy! Later, Mya did the same thing from Josh and he told Mya No, you need to stay with Mommy and Daddy because you need to know who your Mommy and Daddy are!!! Our guide than agreed with him and has never taken her again:) I was so greatful that Josh told her that because I wasnt able to!
We started out at the City Park!! It was amazing!!!!! Very beautiful and the kids enjoyed doing some Tai-chi..or at least thats what it sounds like when our guide says it! Its when a person dances very slowly with moves almost like kung fu but extremely slow. She told us that your heart feels good when finished due to all of the concentration! Although, my kids were laughing the whole time doing it so not sure there was any concentration involved!! LOL
Then we came up on a what would be similar to a very small six flags! A couple of rollercoasters and some other rides, like the pirate ship, thunder river, bumper cars, carousel which we all rode together! I looked at Josh and Mya and said how sad, Mya has done more in her 3 days with us than her entire life..Well thats gonna change!!! :)
Next stop, the embroidery museum and factory! I was so excited about this stop! Mya's province is known for embroidery and fireworks! The fireworks was news to me, I wasnt aware of that one! Anyway, the embroidery museum was incredible. Learning some of the history behind it and kind of how they did things! THEN............The factory!!!! We walked into this room and there were probably 10 women sitting at these tables embroidering! They were absolutely amazing and I have never in my life seen anything like this before! And, their stitching was incredible!!! I couldnt wait to purchase something for Mya!!!!
We went to the shop and everything was so beautiful!!! I think it all would have been incredibly beautiful anyway, but the fact that this is what Mya's province was known for....Priceless!!!!
We get back to the hotel and Amy, our guide, gives us our final paperwork!!!!! Its so neat and official!!!! Tomorrow, we will get Mya's passport and then fly to Guangzhou, our last stop before home, around 5:30pm!!!! I am very excited to get to Guangzhou!! There are A LOT of American families there and we know several and there is a lot of shopping to be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mya's nap time was a fraction better today. She didnt cry as long but I am ok with this, its to be expected! She is still sleeping and its been about 2 1/2 hours!! Mommy slept with her for the first hour or so!!! Josh and I are still struggling with Jet lag, the kids are doing great!!!!
Tonight, our plans are to just hang around the hotel and play at the play room and spend time with our Chinese princess, or as Mason calls her, pretty pretty princess!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
God Bless Mindy
