Our Walk To The Park


























Thursday's Mode of Travel

The Lanterns















In addition to the firecrackers constantly going off for Chinese New Year, the towns are decorated. Zhengzhou has lovely red lanters hung everywhere. At night they are lit and if I had a flash, I would take pictures because they are so pretty. I would love 100 to hang throughout our woods.

Crowne Plaza Zhengzhou




This is the hotel we are staying at. Decent rooms and fancy lobby, but not much excitement. The second picture is a tree in the lobby. They are also growing grass in a small square planter under it. It looks a bit odd.

Thursday Night Room Fun









After our very long walk to the park, we enjoyed some play time in the room. We are skipping the museum tour tomorrow to sleep in and rest. I am hopeful that some down time will get rid of my bug that is brewing.

Movie Time with Brother







This is how we spent our evening. It is so cute to see them together. Mike was exhausted today and fell asleep around 8. I have started to get sick and have opened up my antibiotics. I hope they kick in soon. Harrison looks exhausted and is not eating much and we are all a bit run down. I am really looking forward to heading to clearer air.

Sad Piper





Piper is having a very difficult time overcoming her fear of Mike. She has probably been around very few men and she is just terrified to be held, pushed, dressed, fed, etc. from Mike. I can only imagine how hard this is for Mike. He has been trying his best, but I know that his feelings are hurt and he is ready for a change. Harrison and I left today just to go to the lobby for ice cream and she cried the entire time. These were the pictures from when we got back. She looked so cute that I just had to get some photos.
