PICTURES OF DAY ONE IN GUANGZHOU

It's 12am and we are finally at the Hotel. We are all so glad that loooong plane ride is over.

The boys are all loving the food at the breakfast buffet. I really think they are losing money on us.

Curran playing in the big playpen with Grace at the White Swan Hotel's playroom

I think the boys actually had more fun than Grace

Grace is still on U.S. time

Eamon and Hadyn doing some window shopping. They have looked at all the cool swords and are planning to buy one.

This pink bowl was suppossed to be for washing out Hope's bottles at the hotel.

Grace loves her new hat

She really loves it


The Jade Market

There are blocks and blocks of people selling jade

We drew a big crowd for this picture and Grace couldn't help herself, so she had to stick out her tongue. NICE!!!



We made her stop

Walking in the shopping district


We bought two comforters at Carre Four for the boys to sleep on at the hotel and pushed them around in the stroller all day. We got some strange looks!!
