Our paperwork passed the review at the Consulate. Tomorrow we will go for the ceremony and then pack to head home!!! We had a great but rainy day here again. We had to wait in our room until our paperwork was completed. I got to spend time with my friend Allie and her beautiful daughter, Quincey, while we waited. After that, all of the families in our group took group pictures on the infamous red couch at the White Swan. I think we got some great pictures of all of the families. We were supposed to shop but Mother Nature had other plans. There was a major storm dumping tons of rain so we did the next best thing and all took a nice long nap. As soon as we woke up, we shopped!!!! We had a nice time visiting some of the places we went when we were here before. Many of the places have closed which is sad. There are just less families coming through and the shops have to close. We did find some treasures at one of the official Olympic shops and can't wait to share those.

After our shopping, we were going out to dinner with Madison's family. This was Mark, Holly, Madison and Makenna's last night in Guangzhou...they leave tomorrow. With the rain and the mess, we decided a pizza party in the room was our best bet. The girls had pizza and a movie while the adults chased toddlers and had some nice conversation. We so enjoyed meeting them and we had a great evening. We just all wish we lived closer. One more day and then we head home!Lily told us today that she wants to stay in China. We asked if she would miss our house or our dogs and this was not convincing her. Then, I asked her if she would miss Lily D., her best friend, and now all she talks about is going home. Lily D., Lily Wen really misses you and can't wait to see you in a few days!!!!
