By my calculations, math is not my greatest strength, neither is spelling or grammar many of you are saying after reading these post, I will begin the trip home in 65 hours. In the previous post I spoke of the red couch pic and the going home barbie. For those of you not up on china adoptions. When people stay at the White Swan Hotel during in the adoption process it is tradition to have your newly adopted child's pic made on one of the red couchs. As for the Barbie, Matel Toy Co. gives each adoptee a Barbie with a little China baby in her hands with a sign on the box that says going home.
We had a near tragedy this a.m. while were making the group pics I left my camera sitting somewhere. Luckily a couple saw it and gave it to my guide. The camera I could replace but it has a card in it with about 500 pics. LeAnn would make me repeat the whole trip to replace the pics. I switched cards when I got it back so I could safe guard that card.
This a.m. after breakfast Drew and I went over to the pond in the hotel, a really big pond, and fed the large koi in the pond some goldfish crackers, get it, fe the koi (which are large goldfish) goldfish crackers. I imagine no one in finding that as funny as I did. Anyways, there is a bridge across the pond and there must have been close to 100 large fish splashing around under us. Drew was so excited he would run from one side to the other and up and down the bridge sreaming and pointing. He got so excited he stood in the middle of the bridge turning in circles because he could not decide where to go next finally he plopped down on his bottom and just started screaming.
After we got back to the room I had to go to the restroom and of course i did not shut the door since it was just us men. Drew came in and was trying to get to the toilet I kept turning trying to use my legs to keep him away and finally he stuck his arm between my legs and threw the hairbrush in the toilet. Gross. Boys are interesting creatures. They seem to delight in loud noises and exploring, and if something gets broken in the process all the better.
Well, i hope you all have a good day. i am going to bed.

I was cracking up about feeding the koi Goldfish before I even read your next line about no one "getting it."
