Not much going on. Today we ventured out to the Guangzhou Zoo to see the Giant Panda. Although, Lee told us that the panda is pretty lazy and doesn't do much. We also saw lions, tigers, monkeys, elephants and all that you would expect to see at the zoo. It was extremely, extremely hot and humid. The group sweated more than we ever had and were glad to leave when we did. It was hotter than Florida in August.
We have also been playing at the pool, which is pretty funny. The pool closes from 10:30am - 3:00pm each day, which is ridiculous since that is prime swimming time. So, at the 3pm the entire group heads down to the pool. There are many many rules at the pool, no playing in the water for one, you can only swim!
The group is very ready to come home. Tomorrow Thursday 5/24 is Lexi's 1st birthday as well as our consulate appointment for her visa to come home. So, Lee submits all paperwork on Thursday and we need to stay in our rooms to see if they have any questions. If all goes well, we go to the swearing in ceremony on Friday and then the visa is issued and were ready to come home.
We will be leaving for the airport Saturday morning at 7am. I will try to post one more time before then, but I hope to see many of you there.
Lexi is doing great, she can walk a few steps and she is much chunkier than Olivia was. Olivia has her moments of jealousy be we were very lucky she has some friends to play with on the trip. She has also said she doesn't want to leave China. But the rest of us do! Wishing we were home sooner, can't wait to see you all on Saturday night!
Until then.

Happy 1st Birthday to Lexi!
(And Happy Birthday to Nana, too).
Hope it's not too hot at the swearing in ceremony today. It may
break a record today as they are
predicting temperatures in the 90's
here. Hope it cools down a bit
for your return home tomorrow.
Wishing you all a safe trip home.
