We had a great day today at Shaolin Temple. It was A LOT of walking, but the boys really enjoyed it. We saw a Kung Fu show, saw monks, & the different Buddha's. It was quite interesting. I think we were the most interesting thing there though.... I bet 25 people took pictures with us (mainly Jeb :)..... It did get a bit old to me today. We finally started telling people no. People wanted to know why we Americans had a Chinese child. Our guide, Vivian, would tell them we came to adopt & they would say.... Ah, such warm heart. I can't tell you how many people came up to us & literally COUNTED our kids! And then they would look at us & hold up the 4 fingers! YES, we have FOUR children. It blew them away. lol They are custom here to only one. It amazes them that we have so many. Naomi was a bit tired today & a little cranky. She took a nice long nap on the ride home & then came alive when we got back to the room. :) She played with the boys & ate a TON of pizza! This girl likes to eat! :)
This is our guide, Vivian. We were waiting to watch the Kung Fu show.
One of the many photo opts....
The car knocks her out!
Then back to the room for pizza & fun with brothers!
She loves her some chopsticks too! :)
Playroom fun tonight :)
Maria's Big House of Hope & BIRTHDAY FUN tomorrow!!!!
