Today was a relaxing no paperwork day. We went to the park to see Bao Tu Quan Springs. This is the largest spring in China. The park itself was very beautiful with shaded trails, flowers and some China history walk-thrus. The excitement can be heard in the air. The Chinese people hear are very excited to have the Olympics in their country. People are wearing Olympic shirts, selling Olympic items, etc.. We received a lot of attention as we walked through the park. Among a sea of Asian people we were the only Caucasians. We had our pictures taken a few times. Ashley was the main attraction. She felt like a celebrity. Madilynn is doing very well. She just seems to go with the flow. Since we didn't have a lot of plans today, I was able to spend a lot of 1:1 time with her. It's getting late.I will continue to post daily. Goodnight.
