Chloe is turning into a sleepy head.  God has really blessed this mom, I was afraid that I would have an early riser with Chloe, but that is not the case.  We woke her up around 8 this morning so we could head to breakfast.  Very good sign!

Today we visited the Safari Park.  It is like a Fossil Rim Wildlife Park and Dallas Zoo combined on steriods.  They are famous for their Panda exhibit and Koala exhibit.  The animals were beautiful and there wasn't just one or two of each, but a dozen or so.  It was a really nice morning, but very HOT!  We learned that Chloe does not like to be hot, we found some ice cream to cool her off. 

The rest of the day was spent napping, playing, and shopping. 

We only have two days remaining in China.  Monday our guide will take all our paperwork to the consulate, so we just stick around here to get the "all clear".  Then we will get some laundry done (not $90 worth), hopefully finish our shopping list, go swimming here at the hotel. And then start the big job of packing for home. 

Oh and Anna you will be glad to hear that I finally bought shoes that fit Chloe so she does not have to wear the black ones anymore.

We arrived in Guangzhou late last night.  Chloe did ok on the plane but it was bedtime and she is not always the happiest on the plane.

We are heading to breakfast and then to medical exam, will update later.
