Saturday in Civilization!

Okay. So Lanzhou was stressful but interesting.....Guanzhou is beautiful. Shops all around the hotel have anything you could want to buy. I bought Laura some shoes and 2 dresses. I just couldn't resist! I better not see another dress like it in Texas!! We also had to buy some shoes for Luke because his Lightning McQueen shoes kept coming off. Everywhere we went we would have to carry them because he kept losing them.

We had hamburgers and french fries for lunch at Lucy's and boy her french fried can beat anywhere in America. Well, except for the homemade ones!!

We went to Jordan's Place and got kites for the boys. Sorry, our hands were full of children. We didn't get many pictures. We will send more soon.

Meredith, Dad, John, and William went to a multilevel grocery store shopping for food. We eat one meal a day in our room. Breakfast is included with our room so we get a big meal every morning. They were trying to find some shoes for Luke too and had to go to the 3rd floor. The 3rd floor people told them to go to the 4th floor. The 4th floor people told them to go back to the 3rd floor! Can you imagine Meredith and Dad going up and down and up and down to find shoes for a kid?!?!?! And Dad said that there was 3 million people in the store with 3 million shopping carts that they drive just like they drive their cars!!! Needless to say, Dad thinks that Brookshires it frustrating and he's trying to shop with Meredith (need I say more) and 2 restless kids!! I wish I had gone just to take pictures!!!! Chaos city!!!! But, they came back with lots of good food AND shoes for Luke (that are too big)! Meredith even bought me some of those Danish shortbread cookies. He's a sweetie.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that he hit his head on the taxi and hurt his neck. He really is in pain. Please pray for him. He's hurting.

Tomorrow we go to the Safari Park and the Cow and Bridge for dinner. We are just relaxing this afternoon and watching TV. Luke is being good and Laura is putting her necklace in Daddy's shoe. It's usually bb's or hot wheels so now he has something new to guess what is hurting his foot when he puts his shoes on!!!

God bless you guys.
