Get us out of here. We are spending to much money!

Today we had a good day. The breakfast buffet is crazy huge. They have about 5 islands that are probably 30 feet long each. Anything you can imagine is there. Today I had a fried egg, bacon, French toast, pancakes, dried banana, oj, coffee and I stole an orange, banana and muffin. I've also lost 2 lbs since we have been here. Rosanne won't get on the scale so I can tell you anything about that. Our room is very modern, a little to much. The shower us glass into the bedroom and when u push a button the metal curtain comes down. For some reason it will randomly come up on its own exposing the shower and entire bathroom. Rosanne is taking short showers because I told her I would take pictures if it comes up when she is in there. So funny. Also the door slides closed and us very heavy. We have to keep in closed otherwise little miss busy body goes in and plays on the toilet or randomly puts things in the garbage. Lydia is getting very comfortable around us. She trusts me more each day. She has a temper which is funny. You have to laugh at her even when she is mad because she is so darn cute. If she doesn't want something then she just throws it on the floor. Food toys whatever. On the floor. Today we went to a Buddhist temple which was smelly. They burn insense all over. People were bowing down to all these statues and praying. Seems so silly to me. Then we went to the home of the last dynasty of china. The Cheng Dynasty. Very beautiful with lots of detail. Last stop was shopping. Spent to much money. Got the girls little china outfits. Also we bought Lydia Jade earrings. Jade is a very valuable stone in china. I would compare it to gold in the US. Tradition is that on a brides wedding day her parents give her a gift of something made of Jade. Done. After that we roamed the hotel. Went to Starbucks and the China Fair Trade Center which is like a HUGE mall. Then a group dinner at a Chinese restaurant. I tried everything and it was excellent. Got back to the room and played for a while and Lydia collapsed. Ten we Skyped with the girls (such an awesome thing). I watched some intense Nicholas Cage movie and now it's off to bed. Tomorrow is the Visa photo and Medical exam for Lydia and then The Pearl River Cruise. Talk to you then. 5 more days!!

    1. Amy, tell Scott you don't need any wind to type. Not the sharpest tool in the shed now is he?!

  2. That is awesome that you got her earrings for her wedding! I love it! :)

    Mom wants me to tell you that she likes reading your messages. She says you are very good at telling the stories of your days in China with Lydia and Roseanne. She also said to tell you we really appreciate it and that she can't wait to meet Lydia. We love her already too! :)
