City of Brotherly Love!

Top 2 list of best parts of Guangzhou (I tried to make the list longer, but...)

2. Our hotel has free sushi and wine every night!!! When does that happen?!???



1. Wine vending machine in the lobby of the medical clinic!!! 


Li survived the medical exam. He was very cooperative with the doctors and nurses right up till they carried him away to the baby torture chamber for a blood draw. We could hear him screaming down the hall "Mama... Mama!!!"  Luckily Dad was waiting at the door with a lollipop. And further evidence of dad bonding- Li wanted dad to fix the booboo. 

Overall the clinic was much nicer than we expected. They let us hang out in the adoptive families corridor, which helped. 



After the clinic we visited the Pearl Market, where Chris entertained the group by negotiating every purchase. I wouldn't stand next to him... The lady had strings the pearls right in front of you. Pretty cool to watch! 



We got some great deals- and let's just say Nana made out!!! 

After that we had another afternoon at the pool- and this time Li kept his pants on!!! Li dedicated most of his time to chasing and hugging Ava. Really cute! 

The kids were exhausted by the end of the day.
