Trip to China

Sunday, June 1, 2014 Happy Children's Day! It's a national holiday and children are given gifts and spend the day with their parents. I told our guide, "Everyday is Children's Day in the MacLean family." Today was a free day and we asked our guide to take us to the zoo. It was crowded. Qian didn't recognize a lot of the animals and said, "wow" when she spotted them. She really liked the raccoon. Chinese people eat raccoon. Raccoon anyone? Not me. It was hot today, 88, but not as hot as yesterday, 99. After the zoo we went shopping for shoes. Sam has enjoyed hanging out with our young guide, John who loves sports. He took Sam to a sports outlet. Sam found a pair of basketball shoes that he's been wanting, but couldn't find in the states. John invited Sam to play basketball with a group of locals before we leave. Sam is excited. Qian continues to blossom each day. Sam has found his match. Qian is spunky and not afraid to stand up for herself. She points her finger at Sam and speaks mandarin. Sam points his finger at Qian and repeats what she said. They go back and forth. There hasn't been a lot of quiet time inside our hotel room. Enjoy the pics. Goodnight from Guangzhou, Betty, Sam, and Qian
