Day Shopping at Shaiman Island

Bradley wanted me to take a picture of him by the 7-11 sign!
The Goodyear Blimp!
The parks at Shaiman had statues like these everywhere!

Here's more of the statues
This was a school house. You could hear the kids inside studying and singing
School kids out for "P.E."
Waterfall inside the White Swan Hotel-White Swan is famous for adopting families staying there and is right next to these shops.

Aren't we cute!

I didn't think today would be a big picture taking day and I almost didn't take my camera shopping but boy am I glad I did! This is just a sample of the pictures I took today. The kids had a great time. There was a playground there for the school kids that the kids were able to play on. They were glad to be able to play after spending 10 days not doing much "playing". We also purchased tons of stuff-cheap! We found an olympics store which was great and then another store named Jenny's Place where we bought most of our souveniers at. Everyone is very friendly and at Jenny's they gave the kids free things but man do they try to sell, sell, sell! They say things like "oh, you need this" or "you should get this", "don't you want one of these"! Bradley got a hat to go with his Emperor suit (I'll have to take a picture tomorrow of him!) and his Chinese drum. Kennedi wanted a Olympics pen and a panda coin purse. Katelyn got a bracelet and coin purse. We had a great time but we were ready to get on the bus about 1 hour into it and they gave us 3 hours to shop!

Tomorrow we have a group picture at 10:30. Katelyn and Kennedi both got Chinese dresses today that they are going to wear and Bradley is going to wear his Emperor's Suit! Then at 3:00 we head to the US Consulate to swear under oath that we are adopting Kennedi and promise never to abandon her. Then we will get her visa and this process is complete! We leave early Wednesday morning for our flight to Hong Kong!

Will post one last time from Guangzhou tomorrow night and then will post again from Hong Kong! For now, we're off to bed! :)
