Wednesday Continued and Thursday through Saturday

On our way back from the orphanage we went to JunJun’s finding place.  For some reason his birth family was not able to care for him and this is where he was placed by someone to be found. This was a very busy and public place so that someone could find him quickly.  I did take pictures here, but will not post them.

When we got back to the hotel we were all tired so I thought we would take a nap. Bennett wanted nothing to do with that and got really upset and cried and cried.  He did let me pick him up and cuddle him. I held him and rocked him and he finally fell asleep in my arms. He napped for about an hour or so in my arms.  It felt so good to be holding him close.  I just couldn’t put him down. 

That evening we did a walk half way around the lake and back. It’s a beautiful walk.

Loves to push buttons - all kinds of buttons. :)

On Thursday we did not really do anything.  We went out to the lake a couple of times again and walked just to walk. 

Friday is the day we left for Guangzhou.  We got up and ate our last breakfast in Fuzhou.

Many mornings we had something like this, plus fruit.

One of our favorite sections. 

But we also saw things like this and chicken feet.

We then worked on packing and not a whole lot more.  All four families that we were with in Fuzhou left for the airport at about the same time as we were all on the same flight.  When we got to the airport, we found out that our flight was delayed 2 ½ or 3 hours. So we ate McDonald's and sat and walked and sat and walked and walked some more.  It was finally time to fly! The flight went well until it was time to tighten the belt for landing.  OH MY! Someone did not like that!! Bennett was one mad boy. He screamed for about 15-20 minutes. Wow!

 First McDonald's?

Brynlee's first McDonald's in China.  She said it tasted pretty much the same.

 Probably his first flight.

We landed and picked up our luggage and finally made it to our hotel about 1:00 a.m.  When I tucked Bennett under the covers he woke up and gave me the biggest grin and just curled up under the covers. 

We had to be in the lobby by 8:30 on Saturday morning to leave for Bennett’s medical appointment so I set my phone alarm and the alarm in the room for 6:00.  Well I woke up and thought I better look at my phone just to see what time it is. It was 7:45! My phone had died and the other alarm had not gone off.  Lucky I had showered before I went to bed and had all of our clothes ready.  I’ve never gotten ready so fast! We were down having breakfast less than 15 minutes later.
