Our last day in Guangzhou. We started off with breakfast in the lobby,
the only one we got to have, to bad it was very good. Later we
shopped, played, and napped, and then I shopped again. We had to buy
another suitcase, so did several others. Mackenzie and I had a
tea party at the tea pot shop. We received the babies visas, we're
ready to go home! Most of us stayed close to home to shop and pack.
Of course we will probably barely make it. Boy two kids are tough!
The worst part of this is we have to have our luggage out by 9:00 pm so we
have to be ready to go tonight, everything else is carry on. |

The Schell's room is fairly organized, I think they were on their way for
more luggage, so grandma is babysitting. |
The Rasmussen's, where is Rachel? Oh my God Susan packed the baby! |

The Pizza Party is at the end of the hall and if Dan doesn't post these
pictures within the next thirty minutes our luggage will not go to the
airport! Most everyone else looks very relaxed. Hope everyone
enjoyed following our journey to China for best souvenir ever-our babies. |

We met in the lobby of the White Swan at 6:30 to board the bus for the
airport, we're going home. For Dan and I the journey will be a long
one and will involve three plane rides. For most of us we parted
company in the Hong Kong airport. Dan and I met up with the Guay's for
a snack. Parting was sad, we've been family for two weeks and bonded
with each other. I was sad to see everyone leave, we said goodbye to
Sara last, she is such a sweetie. The girls did much better than I
thought on the planes. We also did a layover in Taipei, Taiwan and
finally arrived in Los Angeles at 2:00 pm. We went through INS and
customs within 45 minutes, not to bad. |

EVA airways gave Mackenzie a backpack, she thought this was pretty cool.
We had fun in the airport, I went to change Madeline in the restroom
Mackenzie followed. Madeline had poop up her back and I just tossed
her onezie then I turned around and Mackenzie had locked herself in the
bathroom stall, oh well one crisis at a time. |

whole row to ourselves. |

sleeping at the same time. |
