Then we went to a chinese restaurant, and of course enjoyed the food! After that we visited a silk factory and learned how silk was made - very interesting. We were even talked into buying a silk comforter (but we are happy with this purchase, cause our comforter is so old it needs to be thrown out!) Then we made our way to some hot springs (I can't remember the name) This is where many emporers came to bathe. We are enjoying learning so much about history and seeing it with our own eyes.
Josiah did pretty well today, considering he was stuck in the carrier for most of the day. He is showing us more of his personality and even threw a temper tantrum for us. It was getting late for lunch, he was hungry and tired, so I don't blame him. He threw a toy on the ground, David took it away, and we saw real tears! It only lasted less than a minute, but was good to see that he is feeling comfortable enough around us to throw a tantrum!
Tonight, we decided to reward Joel for his GREAT behavior today by bringing him to Pizza Hut. He's been pretty good about trying the Chinese food, and hopefully he will like the Chinese version of pizza. Then we are going to go to a fountain light show thing that is supposed to be great near our hotel. It is really really cold here today, so we'll need to bundle up a lot.

Great pics! Your family is always so fun to watch, whether at home or in China, you have such a wonderful time! We would have loved to have seen the Terracota Warriors. What amazing history to see with your own eyes. Too cool!

ReplyDeleteKnow that we're thinking of you.
So glad you have Josiah now!! Olivia seems to remember him :) She wanted to hug him when she saw his picture...some day!
ReplyDeleteIts good to see David showing his true colors as a warrior
ReplyDeleteI am so excited for you guys. It sounds like you are having a great trip. I love following your experiences.
ReplyDeleteSo much fun to follow your journey! Great job getting Josiah posed in the Terracotta Warrior pic! You will love your silk comforter - grea choice. We bought one in 2008 and a cover for it and we love it, and it is great for all seasons. It looks really COLD there. Thanks for doing a great job keeping us updated. Great that Josiah is comfortable enough to throw a fit and cry! I hope Joel enjoyed his well deserved pizza. Hugs, Laura Beth
