Last Day in Zhengzhou
We had dinner with another family and it was just like hanging out with old friends at home. We have some of the nicest families in our travel group and it's so much fun getting to know everyone.
This morning after breakfast, we did some face timing with her brothers as usual. When Nathan waved and said "bye", Nina waved and said what sounded like "bye"! She also gave him so many kisses on my iPad, that it is still sticky now. After that, we went to the Henan History museum with two other families.
I wanted to go to learn a little about where Nina comes from. Since her city, Luoyang, was the capital of China for many years, there were lots of interesting artifacts from there. I took lots of pictures for her to be able to use for future school projects. Nina is so interested in seeing everything!
After he museum, we made a trip to walmart to get the girl some shoes that fit! I don't know if it was the heat, the smog, or just the time of day, but there seemed to be less scooter traffic than usual!
I've tried to explain to the boys that when I say we are going to Walmart, it doesn't look anything like the walmart on route 8!
(Dried chickens)
(Meat Popsicles? I have no idea...)
(Fresh fish)
After walmart, we began packing up. We have so much stuff! As much as I'm looking forward to new scenery, I don't enjoy the packing and unpacking that goes along with it. Nina was in such a great mood this afternoon. She wanted to help pack and was full of smiles and giggles! She kicked her ball around the room and acted much more like a toddler today! She is definitely coming out of her shell!
Tonight at dinner, Nina had her first meltdown. She was exhausted and only had a 10 minute nap in the van this afternoon. All of a sudden she just started screaming! After a few minutes, she was back to her cheerful self and finished her dinner. But, we went back to the room, got her a bath, and she's been sound asleep since 6:45. Tomorrow morning we will finish packing and head the the airport at 10:00. We will be in Guangzhou tomorrow afternoon! The last leg of this trip is almost here!
