Yesterday we went to the Botanical Gardens. Not the most fun place for pre-teen/teen boys, but interesting enough for them to stay engaged for the hour we were there. We ended up climbing to the top of the mountain (prep for the Great Wall!) and then back down again. It reminded me a lot of Disney.
That afternoon, we played Uno with another family that adopted an 11yr old girl. She has been very quiet and shy and they were hoping that our boys would help bring her out of her shell. They did! It took about 15 min for the kids to start talking, but by the time we had to leave for dinner, they were chatting up a storm, sharing an ipad game and reading each others books.
This morning we leave bright and early for the Consulate. They want to use us as Guinea Pigs for the new process they announced last week. I said "Sure, why not!!!" So we get a "private" meeting to go through the process. No cameras allowed for security reasons, so no pictures to post.
