Fuzhou Day 5




































































































































































































We have made it to Guangzhou and can finally access the blog:) Thanks to Kenlyn for updating it while we were in Fuzhou. We again had our usual breakfast routine and then packed up for a trip to the park that is very close to our hotel. It was a very beautiful park with many sculptures and foliage. China has the most beatiful parks. The weather was not quite as hot and there was a nice breeze:) The kids enjoyed having a little space to walk with Mom and Dad squeezing their hands. The park had an aquarium and we knew the kids would love that! We saw many interesting fish and 2 shows. The first was a diver who entered the tank and had the fish do tricks with him. He rode the turtle and even danced with it!!! The second show was a sea lion show. There were 3 sea lions that performed some cool tricks like jumping through hoops and walking on a barrel. On the way back, we stopped for Starbucks and then our guide brought us to her favorite bakery. I bought some ham and egg sandwiches and some delicious bread. After lunch, we again headed to the pool. Tatum is always all smiles and Brookie is doing more each time we go. Colin loves to count the number of laps he does:) For dinner, our guide ordered us a variety of dumplings and some fried noodles. Oh my, was it delicious!!!!! Everyone ate until we were stuffed:) After dinner, we took a walk around the lake near the hotel. There was a nice breeze and the scenery was beautiful. We had many stares and amiles and a few people followed us for a while. The walk was a nice change from the hotel room and everyone was ready for bed when we returned.
