Cruise, Birthday Cake, and Zoo!


 
This is a catch all post:) Last night we went on the Pearl River Dinner Cruise. It was fun, and the river was beautiful with all the lights of the city shining all around us. The food was good. I have heard so many stories about the food on the cruise...eat it...don't eat it...etc. We just ate what looked familiar...rice, noodles, veggies, and we were fine! We also enjoyed a little entertainment while on the cruise. When we got back to the hotel Sam's cake was delivered. Rebecca, our guide, made all the arrangements for that...she's great!!  Sam loved it! It wasn't very big, but enough for us to all get a slice. Today we went to the zoo. We had great time, but everyone was tired. You could just tell the entire group was moving very slowly. I think we are all ready to get home! Three families leave tonight, and the other three(including us) will leave tomorrow. I haven't mentioned this on our blog, but our flight plans have changed. Instead of leaving early Friday morning and returning Friday night, we will leave Friday night and arrive in Huntsville at 10:34am Saturday. We would love to see you at the airport!

  2. Meia,
    So sad that we will miss the welcome home party. We continue to pray for all of you - for a good travel experience home and for adjustments to being home. I know you can't wait to see Hugh and Henry! We can't wait to meet Betsy soon! She is precious. God is good! Tell your Ellie that Ellie H. thinks Betsy is adorable!!

  4. I am SO sad that we won't be able to be there Saturday morning:( Both kids have their first soccer games. We were fully planning on being there if the time had stayed Friday night. Oh well, we will see you all soon enough:) I can't wait to meet Betsy. Praying for you all!
