Yesterday was a super fun outing, especially for the kids, we went to the Panada research base. There is about 2000 Pandas in the world today and about 80% can be found in Chengdu. That is why Panda paraphernalia is BIG around here and you better believe we bought our share :)
It blows my mind that just a couple days ago Peter had only been out of the orphanage maybe once ( for a visa photo). His whole life was those hallways, stairs, rooms and courtyard. I get no greater joy than to tell him RUN!!!! As he catches up to his sister to the exhibit and he exclaims " shuma" ( panda) and rattles off a bunch of other things I don't understand. :)
Speaking of sister... Madelynn has been a bit of a rock star here I need to start talking pictures of people talking her picture. The excitement is palatable!
I think pandas will always have a place in our our families hearts.
We got back to the hotel after a quick lunch and shopping at carefore for some PB&J. We settled into the hotel for a quiet evening of baths and bonding time. We might have stayed like this tell bedtime ;)
Today is our last full day in Chengdu, so we will be soaking it up! We will be leaving to tomorrow to head to Guangzhou where the U.S. Consulate is. This is where Peter's visa will be issued and will be able to come home after that. We will be in Gaungzhou for about a week.
