We had a wonderful time there visiting with lots of Chinese people including these National Guard troops.
Natalie met a few other children close to her age
Although she was a bit wary she seemed to enjoy herself
This gentleman was writing Chinese characters with water on the pavement
He wrote a special message for our group
Natalie and I rode on the swing with two little Chinese boys
Nat standing on a playing piece of a giant Chinese Checker board
Our family sitting under a weeping willow
We won't risk eating food from the street vendors, but we enjoy seeing what they are making
In the afternoon we decided to try out the hotel's indoor heated swimming pool, but this is as far as we got. Gary and I stuck our toes in and decided that the water was not warm enough for Natalie. By the way, the pool required swim caps. I didn't have one for Natalie so I put her little crocheted hat on her head which they thought was good enough.
Playing with her stacking cups before bed.
Daddy taught her to put them on her feet and she loves to do it herself now.

The People's Park is as lovely as I remember. It looks like Natalie is settling in a bit quicker than Elspeth. I'm glad.
The pic of y'all under the willow tree is beautiful! It's been great following your journey and virtually visiting all the sights!
