Family Fun

July 4th and 5th were spent having fun in Hefei. The big girls spent their saved allowance at the pedestrian only shopping area. The park and rides close by offered family fun. The weather was hot and humid. Quinn continued to help with interpreting and Kerry Wa is quite the story teller. We are so lucky that Quinn can help us understand her despite a bit of a dialect difference; Kerry loves to entertain. It has helped her open up about her life and it is so interesting to here her version. She amuses us with her cute voice and spunky personality. She can count to ten in English now, knows most of the colors and is recites many songs in Chinese for us. She is animated and funny and sweet and spicey all rolled into one cute 38 lb body. She loves dresses and her new sisters. She asks to swim everyday. We plan to go a waterpark in Guangzhou. We skyped with Summer today and she wants red/blue nails just like sissy who had done them for the 4th of July. Summer gave her a tour of the house and she seems happy to know that her "jie jie" is waiting there for us. The only fireworks we had on the 4th happened when Robert was in the wrong place at the wrong time. A guy was welding on the third story of a building in the pedestrian shopping area where we were walking. A bunch of sparks fell down and landed on Robert's head who then quickly doused the flame, but not before he had a burn spot. After some choice words, which Ting now loves to repeat (thanks Robert) we were off again. Kerry saw a policeman and and quickly yelled to Quinn to tell them for her baba. Happy 4th of July. We will leave for Guangzhou the 6th and look forward to meeting 16 more families.
