Perfect Day!

Some of the group went to Mount Lushan today. It was absolutely beautiful, the views were breathtaking. Aubrey loved hiking down the mountain -like I said yesterday, as long as she is moving she is a happy girl! The weather was perfect. It was so nice walking around the mountain town and was really sweet seeing all the children on the streets and in the playground after school. It was so nice to see this side of China - Aubrey Mei's country is beautiful. When we got back to the hotel, we went for a walk in the stroller and played with some of the other kids. This was the first time Aubrey actually let me put her down and sit on the floor without crying! She just kept smiling and she pulled herself up holding onto my finger and took a few little steps toward me-- she was just so excited and proud of herself! When everyone was going back to their rooms, we were saying our goodbye's and I know I heard my little girl say Bye Bye and she waved! Lucy heard it too! Oh, and big thank you to Christine and Eric who saved the day! Aubrey's favorite toy, her Panda, fell over the ledge and almost landed in the lake - she was just looking over the ledge and staring at her Panda and her Mommy was having a meltdown for letting it drop. Christine jumped down what had to be at least a 7 ft wall to retrieve the Panda and Eric was there to pull Christine back up!! I know I keep repeating myself, but I have to say again I am so blessed to be traveling with all these wonderful, caring people. Thank you, God, for another happy day!!

Aubrey Mei just had to mail her first card (postcard) to Goppy! That's Sissi walking into to the post office.
