Fun and Lunch at Lucy's Diner

Wednesday was our Consulate Appointment. It is a very important appointment. Funny things is, we don't even go to the appointment. Our guide helps us fill out tons of paperwork and then she takes it to the US Consulate General here in Guangzhou. The officials there decide if all is well with your paperwork and make the adoption final and official AND agree to issue Laura's visa to enter the US. Well, we passed! We had to stay in our hotel room in case the Consulate needed to question us. But, no questions and at 12:13 pm Connie (our guide) called us to tell us we passed and were free to leave our room. So, we rushed down to Lucy's Diner to have a hamburger and fries. We ate outside and there is a huge paved area surrounded by a park and the Pearl River. The local people played this game with the boys as we looked on. If you look close in the first picture, you will see Luke sitting in the background watching John and Will. Laura watched as well while eating her french fries as well as Luke watched while picking his nose! We really were able to relax and celebrate at lunch. The sun was shining and it was cool outside. We are now ready to come home with out new daughter!
