Long time in our Province

We had to stay an extended time in our Province for Shekina's Chinese Passport to be processed due to National holidays - it is normally 5 business days and we were there for almost 2 weeks. We were there with 8 other families and so it was a great time to spend time together, sharing and adjusting together. We visited some parks, did some shopping, etc. Here are some pics..enjoy! :)
Enjoying bubbles in the park! :)













Typically, between 6AM -10 AM you'll find groups of people doing taichi in the park...Shirley excitedly joins in! :) That was one of the things she wanted to do in China! :)














Since most of the 8 baby girls in our group were born all around the same time, our guide had a birthday party for all the girls that included a crawling race...here is Daddy cheering her on waving an incentive...CHEERIOS!!! :) GO SHEKINA...GO!!! :)
















At the zoo, notice the infamous Chinese Panda (between us in the background) - China's unique national treasure!! :)
















Shekina's first opera! She thoroughly enjoyed it! :)
