Five Springs Mountain Park


Today’s sightseeing was at Five Springs Mountain Park, home of the Lanzhou Zoo. Adam seemed to really enjoy the animals. We saw everything from bears, wolves, kangaroos, camels and Giant Panda. The views of the mountains and the city were spectacular.
I also posted a picture of Sally (left), our local guide in Lanzhou, and Susan, one of the three staff members in China from our adoption agency. Susan has been with us the whole trip.
Lunch again was at a Chinese restaurant that seemed to specialize in spicy food. OK for Karyn, not for me. Jeremy is ready for more Pizza.
Adam seems to be more comfortable around us each day. We also discovered he can blow bubbles and suck on a straw, not a usual thing for a kid with a cleft pallet.




The weather here has been absolutely beautiful. Days have been sunny and in the 60s, warm for Lanzhou this time of year. Tomorrow on to Guangzhou and a sunny 85 degrees. This will be Adam’s first plane trip. Not sure if we’ll have ability to post tomorrow. But we will if we can.

Greetings Tkach's! Welcome to the family-with-four-kids club! Being busy, as always, I just got a chance to get caught up on your adventure- although you have been in our thoughts and prayers. I absolutely love the pictures and it looks like the brothers are bonding very well! I can't wait to meet him. God Bless!

Hello from Huber!

Looks like you are having a great trip! The weather sounds perfect! Too bad you're lugging around all of those heavy clothes!

The girls are at my feet playing a game as I type! We had a fun lunch at McDonalds with some other MOPS kids! They are doing well and are excited about you getting home!

We can't wait to see you all!

Hugs to you all!

We've been following your journey and supporting you with our prayers. Seems like Adam's a real trooper. Take care, have a great time shopping in Guangzhou and we look forward to seeing you all back home safe and sound!
P.S. After that MOPS playdate-lunch at McDonald's, my Amelia said she has made a new friend called MacKenzie and asked if she could come visit us. Interesting because the 2 girls have seen each other several times before.... :)
