Day 7 Martyrs Park

Yesterday, Saturday 11/30 we had the morning free so we went to a local park called Martyrs park.  It was so beautiful.  There was a lot of beautiful scenery, a skating rink, paddle boats and even an area like a small carnival.  We went with two other families from our group, both with an adopted child around Carter's age so we let them go into the carnival area and ride a little train roller coaster but the rides were more for toddlers.  We walked around and observed for a while.  There were a lot of people there, some dancing (like an outdoor dance class for adults), some were exercising, some playing different games and some were singing like a choir.  It was different as usual but cool to see all of the different activities.  Afterwards we went to Pizza Hut for lunch, then back to the hotel for a meeting to get paperwork ready for the consulate appointment.  The kids are great!  Carter has been awesome dealing with so many changes.  Emma Kate continues to grow more comfortable with us.  She just randomly decided to hug each of us and kept going around to each of us for more.  It was so sweet!  She has learned that when I'm strapping the ergo on, she gets to ride inside so she will reach for Robert to hold her and watch me patiently.  She also loves to ride in the stroller but only wants me to push it so she will look back every now and then to make sure I'm there.  She loves to run around the hotel room and play with all of us, the first few days she would only let me carry her and wouldn't walk at all.  We are enjoying china but I can't wait to take her home to meet her other brothers.  This is totally random but I keep forgetting to add it...a few days ago when we were on the bus we saw a cat on a leash tied to a tree right there on the side of a busy road!  There were people right there as they are everywhere.  I guess they were selling something and brought their cat along!  It was pretty funny.  Here's some pics for you:)

    I love this bridge at Martyrs Park!
