3/21, 3/22, 3/23

3/21- Planes, Trains, and automobiles... We've done them all. On this day it was a plane. 

We went down an escalator in the airport to the downstairs terminals. 

We were sitting and waiting when a very nice American lady walked up to us and asked if we had just adopted. As our conversation continued, I found out that she has three Chinese girls herself and she's a volenteer for Maria's big house of hope and I think Show hope. These Forster homes do amazing work! Amazing! So, there's a reason we ran into this lady. I don't know what yet, but I have a good feeling...

There we got on a tram that took us to an airplane. It was outside. We walked up into the plane got settled into our seats to hear that our flight would be delayed 30 minutes. Okay? 

Before the plane left the runway, suddenly there was water everywhere. 

I cringed as I realized that it was Chu's pee. Sometimes this cutie pie won't have a wet diaper all day then he pees a gallon. So it was lovely to fly two hours with my pants and shirt sleeve wet. 

I know what your thinking... At least, it wasn't poop. Well, I've spared you those stories but we have had, at least 5 blowouts.  

The plane was hot and smelled like cigarette smoke. The stewertests were beautiful and very nice. Surprisingly, 

The good was great. 

We made it to Zhengzhou where our new guide was waiting. 

Our new guide is Elsie. She's darling and sweet. 

She guided us up to our room where I swear angels were singing as we opened the door.  The air conditioning fairies were doing there job and we are in heaven at our hotel room at the garden. Love it!!!

This is the view from our room. 

3/22- We had Chu's medical check up today. 

First, they took his picture. Which turned out pretty cute for no smiles. 

Then they do weight and height. Chu is 14 pounds. 

Then a doctor looked him over. 

Then they draw blood. This is where momma wanted to go all gong foo on them! 

They take you baby in a room with the door shut and curtains closed. 

You know how Chu cries silently? He screamed bloody murder. 

But they didn't flag us for anything. We will find out on Tuesday if he passed the TB test. Which he should. 

We ate at Pizza Hut that night and it was so so good! We may have been desperate for American food but it was the best pizza we've had. 

3/23- 

We went to the six banyan temple. 

It's this really cool structure behind my cute boys. 

Here are some of the Budhas we saw. They were huge. Look at the people bottom left to see how big these statues are. There were many people bowing, lighting incense, and leaving food/water/ fruit/ or flowers as offerings. It was very interesting...

Then we went to the Chen family museum. It was mostly Chinese folk Art and I loved it!!!
