Wednesday in Guangzhou

This morning we did the famous "red couch" picture of all of the babies adopted in our group. The White Swan Hotel is famous for the red couch picture, parents set all of the little ones in their pretty chinese dresses and outfits together on the red couch and everyone starts taking pictures really fast because all of the little ones are usually crying! It is really kinda funny to see. Brodie was in his overalls, the little girls in their pretty silk dresses! There was another boy in his regular clothes too! When that picture was done, then we did a group picture with all of the families from Holt in our group. We have met some very nice people here.
After breakfast we went down to the hotel playroom, it's very nice with a lot of toys. There were a few other little ones in their playing also.
I decided today was the day we were going to get Brodie in a stroller. He has only wanted to be held when we are outside of our hotel room. So we borrowed a stroller from one of the shops close to the hotel. I put him in it, this time I meant business! He cried and screamed and tried to crawl out of it. We walked around for what seemed to be hours, but wasn't all that long, and got so many different looks from the local people! But I would just smile and keep walking! We ended up at the
7-11 store, and I got him some juice and then we sat outside , he calmed down finally. Now we can't get him out of the stroller!!! He is still sitting in it this afternoon! At least my back feels better today! I offer to take him out and he refuses! We met up with the family we met in Fuzhou today, Brodie was happy to see his friends again! We went to lunch with them and they came back to our hotel to swim. The pool is outdoor, the water was pretty cold but they got in for a little bit. Their 9 year old son was so excited to get into a swimming pool, he didn't care how cold it was! We are going to meet them for dinner tonight and try the Italian restaurant. Tomorrow is our last day here, can't wait to start packing and head for home!!
