- We started out our day today with a visit from Carson and Charlotte. We volunteered to watch these two adorable kids while their parents went to their U.S. Consulate appointment this morning. We had a fun time watching movies and playing with Play-Doh. The kids did great and we got a little taste of life with three kids.
- Just before lunch, we took a trip to the China Plaza shopping mall. We traveled by subway. The mall was 7 floors and didn't have a straight line in it. We get the sense of always being lost over here. Anyways, the mall was very expensive. We did stop in the grocery store (floor 3) and bought some goodies. You can either choose a very small shopping cart or a very, very small shopping cart that holds shopping baskets.

- We ate lunch just outside of the grocery store. Micah picked out dumplings. For about $1.50, he got 10 dumplings. As they heat them up, you go three stations down, pay the cashier, and then come back and pick up your order. Then, you go stand and eat in a little area just past the food stations. Chinese fast food!
- In the afternoon, Matt and Micah went swimming while Deanna was in another mandatory meeting. Micah is a fish and loves the water. We just need to set boundaries with him because he thinks he can swim and has no fear. His favorite event today was being tossed back and forth from Matt to another dad in our travel group.
- At night we went on the Pearl River Dinner cruise. This was basically a 30 minute cruise up the river to see the tallest tower in China and then 30 minutes back. There were many buildings and bridges that were lit up with neon lights. It was a beautiful night. We were so thankful that God held the rain off for the evening. The "dinner" part was us eating luke-warm Papa John's pizza. A little taste of home was pretty yummy!
