Aquarium and Last Day in Zhengzhou

Today was is last day in ZZ. Trying to get this post up tonight, tomorrow will be a travel day so don't count on me posting anything. 

Before I go on, a have a comment from another family in Marshall adopting from CCAI. Please email me, I'd love to stay in touch! pmichellefulton@msn.com

So today we were basically just waiting on Penelope's passport. We went to an Aquarium here in Zhengzhou. We were ready to get out of the hotel. 

Where else can you feed fish with a bottle! 

Penelope was only mildly interested in the fish. 

The Sea Lion show was hilarious. The smaller sea lion was performing to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. I think the Americans were the only ones laughing historically, but it cracked us up! 

Elijah and Joshua are both awesome! Elijah is hilarious. He is not even 2 and speaks in full sentences, but we can't understand anything he is saying. Our guide translates and it turns out he's telling his dad off or something equally funny. Our driver is , shall we say, disinterested. Elijah even had him cracking up. Love these boys and their parents! 

Next we saw a mermaid show. There was a bad guy, a mermaid, and a prince. We couldn't understand the narrative, obviously, but it was cute. It ended with Celine Dion version of "Beauty and the Beast" also hilarious. 

This afternoon we played in the room and packed up. Penelope seems to be coming to life more and more every day. She was laughing tonight. She has the sweetest little voice, we can't wait to hear more of it. Generally she is just very quiet. No words yet. Can't wait to hear her call me mama!

Guess who got a passport! Her Chinese passport will only be good for getting her back to the US.
