Stuck at Hong Kong Airport, China

Hello, Readers!!!
I am trapped in Hong Kong Airport!! Our flight doesn't leave until 12:00. It is by Cathay Pacific. A girl from Dragon Air helped us. We got to get on Cathay Pacific with her. Her name is Catherine. She put us in the middle with the Jeffersons. That's why we're on Cathay Pacific. Here is the website:http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/homepage. We were going to ride United, and they were holding the plane for the families, and I ran fast the whole airport length with Mom and Dad. Our bags hadn't got there. Same with the Jeffersons.

Shamian Island

Hello, Mrs. Anderson's class and others!


Shamian Island is so cool!!! You don't really know you're on an island. It's cool. Shamian island is surrounded by a river. Cars and buses can drive on a bridge, and people can walk on a bridge. I got a purple parasol (pear uh sol) and five pretty bracelets. If you are in Mrs. Anderson's class, you get a surprise souvenir. I got the best souvenir- a baby!

People's Park, Nanchang

Hello Readers!

Kiddie Park

I went to People's Park, Nanchang. Ladies said my friend James was strong. They said I was strong. Our tour guide, Susan translated it. After that, I went over by the monkey bars where some of the men were having a hand-over-hand and pull-up contest. It was grampas against daddies and children. No teams. James entered, and I stood up and they pointed at me. I said bu dui, bu dui (boo dway). It meant incorect, incorrect. I would've loved to run into the spotlight, but not this time! Then, the next thing I knew, I was running to the triangle toys! Then I was pulling back on the loose one, and all of a sudden lots of ladies were watching me! I was in the spotlight at last!

Rides

I went on a swing ride. It was a swing ride and it lifted you up. James went on the outside. I went, too. I went in front of him. James and I both touched a tree.

Maryn At LAST!

Maryn is here! We got her on September 5th, 2010. She is AWEOME! She is soo cute, and only cries a LITTLE. Maryn might be teething at only five-and-a-half months old. She's talking as I type this.

The Summer Palace

Hello Mrs. Anderson's class and others!

I went to the Summer Palace where we rented a boat and I was captain. I also got an ice cream bar and mama did, too! The Summer Palace was an emperor and empress's place. The boats were motorized, paddle boats and silly rowboats. I got a motorboat. Cixi (Suh- SHEE) had money for the Chinese Navy, but she spent it on herself. She bought a marble boat. Cixi was a fine empress but a little selfish.
Today we are going to the Great Wall of China with some other families from our adoption agency. We got two days in Beijing but they will get only one.
Tomorrow I meet my baby sister, Maryn!!!!!
