This morning we went with 2 of the other families to the Yuntie Garden (think I spelled that right).  AubriAnna loved riding in the stroller & seeing all the sites.  She's not used to the warmer weather so she got pretty hot. Today it has been in the lo 80's and sunshine. 

The garden we went to was absolutely gorgeous!  I told Jimmy that Granddaddy would have loved this place.  There is a huge greenhouse filled with all kinds of tropical plants, orchids & goldfish ponds.  We took so many pictures that there no way I can put them all on the blog.  Takes way to long to upload. LOL

We were trying to think if there is anything that comes close to this garden back in the states.  I don't know unless maybe Bush Gardens. We've never been there, but if it's half this I want to visit it also!  AubriAnna soaked it all up.  She's very curious about things & people.  She plays shy, but loves the attention at the same time.

When we got back to the room, we video called big brother & sister.  She gets really excited when she hears them & sees them on the computer.  I don't think it will take her long at all to bond with them when we get home. 

She doesn't want to be put down so we're exhausted by bedtime. lol  We've started over the last few nights putting her in her bed & letting her cry.  Usually it's only about 5 minutes then she'll just play till she falls asleep.  She's napping now.  Took her forever.  By the time she fell asleep, she had one pants leg pulled up above the knee, sock off & one sleeve pushed up. lol  She must be having a funny dream because she just started laughing in her sleep.  God blessed us with such a happy baby. 

We have a group meal tonight with the other families.  That should be fun.  The kids are so funny.  They really check each other out.  We go back to the clinic tomorrow as a group.  The children 2 & older had to have TB test & have to get results tomorrow.  We're going to do a little shopping while the others do that.  We're also going to the Pearl Market tomorrow.  I'm really excited about that! 

I hope ya'll enjoy the pictures!  They really don't do the Garden justice. Just a beautiful place!
