Today we had a packed day out and about. First we got to visit the orphanage where Aynsli spent a few months early on. It was so neat to be able to see the rooms and how well they love the kids there! There were rooms for physical therapy, sick treatment rooms, playrooms, even a hydro therapy room. Some kids seemed right on developmentally but most had special needs. While we were walking down the hall one lady walked past and said Aynsli's chinese name and smiled! Then she quickly walked into another room and told her foster mom that she was here! With that her foster mom came out and said hi and took her from us! She wanted to give her a hug. It all happened so fast but when it was time to take her back she only whined a little bit and was happy to go back to Luke. Thank goodness! That went better than I thought! And it was neat to see her and get a picture of her!
On our drive there we saw some interesting things! Wild dogs walking through a food market! Eww! Then on the street there was a lady selling birds (to eat) and she would take them out of the cage and kill them by snapping their necks right in front of the person buying it! I guess then you know your meat is fresh?! The traffic is so crazy- I swear we almost hit several people today- who chose to walk right in front of the car as it was moving!
So many people stop and stare at us because we are white and because we have a chinese child with us. They snap pictures of us all the time. There was a lady with her baby today who wanted a picture with aiden. So she and her friend just stood by him and he smiled at the camera! Haha!
Then we went to the yellow crane tower for some sight seeing! It was beautiful and gave us a good view of Wuhan from the top. It's one of the main attractions in wuhan for tourists.
Then we went to a museum and saw some ancient bells which were 2400 years old!
Then out to eat and back for showers and bed- whew! What a busy but fun day!
Wow!! Loving these posts :-) :-) :-) so amazing to see her with your family! Continuing to send prayers up :-)

ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to go up the Yellow Crane Tower! I walked by there a few times and wished I'd had time to do that. I did spend time P-walking on the university campus where you show pictures here. And went to that cool museum too. Wow. Just so excited for you and glad you're getting to really experience the city. I just love hearing you experiencing all the China-y things like people staring and wanting pictures taken. I love those details! Aynsli is so precious!!! Just catching up on your blog now but I've been praying every day. Love you guys.
