3rd day with Braelyn!

Braelyn playing on the bed in the hotel room checking out her new siblings!

We visited Braelyn's orphanage today. Where she spent her first 6 months at (the other 7 was in foster care). 

 This is a picture of the inside of the orphanage in the building where she stayed at.

 Here is one of the buildings outside her orphanage. It was very pretty and there was a lot of beautiful flowers there.

Paul with Braelyn in the car.  He was speaking chinese to her and saying her chinese name to her(Long Yongyun).

The kids were happy to have a some-what American lunch at Pizza Hut! The food was very good but a little spicy. Very nice place though!

Brody pitching to Blake in the empty pool, for coach Ken! :)  Can't find any green space so they went to the pool! 

Braelyn fell asleep on mom's lap on the way back from the orphanage. 

Today was a very nice day, around 80 and sunny. We got to tour the orphanage that Braelyn stayed at for the first 6 months. It was very clean and well kept up. We were able to see the room full of cribs where she slept and met some of the caretakers that remembered her! There was even an outdoor playground. We were very very impressed with the complex. We were told it is one of the nicest orphanages in China!  After leaving the orphanage Paul took us down town to check out a few stores, Nike and a few electronic stores.  Then we walked to Pizza Hut for lunch and then walked for a half hour back to the hotel(the kids are getting tired of walking all over).  Lynae and Braelyn took a good nap and the boys went to the pool area to play catch.  We don't see much if any green space, no room for the Chineese kids to do any activities like that.  We are very blessed to live where we do and I know we take if for granted.  Baby had beef congee from the hotel restaurant and we are going to walk thru Green Lake Park which is about a half mile down the street.  The kids are really missing their friends and are looking forward to being back home.
