Hi everyone- today we started the day with a buffet breakfast and then checked out of the hotel. We loaded up in the van and drove to the Temple of Heaven. This is where the emperor came twice a year to pray for the good harvest. Now, you will see many people do exercising, dancing, and playing card games here. It was very pretty to walk around. After, we drove to a pearl market. The boys were able to scoop up an oyster and then everyone took a guess at how many pearls were inside. No one guessed correctly- there were 10 pearls! Each boy was given one and then we walked into the section with all the pearls. They were very pretty! We didn't purchase anything- we are waiting to get to Guangzhou for buying pearls. Next, we headed to the airport. We checked in, and had some lunch in McDonalds and then went through security to await our plane. Of course the plane was over 1.5 hours delayed. By the time we arrived in Guangzhou, got our bags(which one of them was totally destroyed) and loaded back onto the bus to go to the hotel, it was pretty late. Anyways, we have checked into the Victory Hotel which is "okay." We are all going to go to bed because we have a pretty busy day tomorrow! We will be getting Emma around 2:30!!! I will post all details in my next blog!

(and just in case you are freaking out I want you to know I spent an hour in the White Swan bathroom bawling my eyes out the night before we got Rosie, wondering what the heck I was doing to my already perfect family. You know the rest of the story....I think it turned out brilliantly)
