A Day at the Guangzhou Zoo/Pearl River Dinner Cruise (March 12, 2012)

We had another busy day today! After the big kids went back to the medical center to have their TB skin tests read we headed to the zoo! It was a better zoo than Tulsa or Little Rock in our opinion. We took a tram ride around the zoo to get a general overview(when you decided to take a short nap), then we walked around and looked at what we wanted to. Luckily someone from our group who decided not to come sent their stroller for us to borrow! This made the zoo much more enjoyable for mommy and daddy! We saw lions, tigers, zebras, monkeys, giraffes, kangaroos, and of course, PANDAS! We got better pictures with our other camera (all these pics were taken with the iPhone. You loved the zoo! We were teaching you how lions roar and you got a bit carried away! Before we knew it all the lions were roaring!! Ha! People were rushing over to see them roar!

When we got back to the room, we fed you and put you down for your nap since we had some big evening plans. Daddy and I watched The Help during your nap (he didn't even fall asleep)! We got you up and ready and headed downstairs.

We all loaded up and headed to the Pearl River, got on a boat and went for a little cruise. One lesson we learned...if you are in China with a large group of Chinese people and someone announces the buffet is open, GET OUT OF THE WAY! You WILL get run over! We saw lots of pretty lights along the river, had dinner with Gracie's friend Han (she's moving to Michigan), and watched a clown juggle to a Ricky Martin medley. We were tired when we got back, but wanted something sweet again, so we made a trip to Haagen Dazs and ate some yummy overpriced ice cream!!
