Day 8 Terra Cottas


Sorry everyone for the delay in posting pictures...Hope you enjoy them (: -Ashton























































































Today we woke up early and went with the Oregon group to the Terra Cotta Warriors. They were ok not the best thing I have seen in China. They however are pretty cool for the mere fact they were made several thousand years ago and still are intact today. We had KFC for lurch which was ok I am kind of tired of it, it is nothing like home but a nice break from Chinese food every now and then. We came back after the warriors and rested for a bit and held the tiny babies. Then I went to 104 and played with the rascals for a little bit .Those kids can wear you out fast. Woah, they are all something else. Poor Joseph's arm was swollen from shots yesterday. The kids I swear are wilder at night and always want to play or eat. Jeff Steve and Sean also worked on the 5th floor cleaning off the balcony that was something else and the boys room needs some work. Sorry for the short post today I am tired from the amount of walking the last two days and I am off to bed. I have to day it is quite sad we only have a week left before we leave. I am going to miss these babies so much! Also forgot to add we had delivery to the room tonight for supper it was great sean did a wonderful job ordering it. Sorry for the delay in pictures- I am so tired Ashton will get them up later.

Today started out early. We woke up at around 7 and got dressed then we headed to the baby rooms and gathered all the babies that had to go get shots today. We had 18 babies walking and 10 adults 9 which were foreigners. Helen and some of the nannies met us with 4 more babies at the hospital. The walk was long and hot. We got there sat down and slowly the nurses started calling in babies to get shots. I took in Clara and Megan, Hannah took in Daniel. Clara and Daniel did not scream or cry at all Megan on the other hand was screaming as we entered the shot room. After shots we all cam back returned the babies to their rooms then went to find some lunch. We went to the noodle shop again which was nice. After lunch we came back waited for a little bit, Me ad Roshine cleaned up the medicine cabinet and put new things in there that volunteers brought. Then we went back to the babies in 104 and word of advice DO NOT lay on the floor or sit for very long the babies attack! I was pushed down several time but it was so much fun and the babies thoroughly enjoyed in. Thomas loved it and was laughing the whole time. I let Thomas ride on my back and he loved it. Joshua, Clara, Sadie, and Nadia are attackers and will tackle you and take you to the ground then jump on you. They are so rough. These are some of the toughest kids I have met. We finished with the babies at about 5 as they were getting around for bed and feeding had started. We left and waited around for a while then we went to dinner we didn't venture out too much McDonald's it was tonight as our favorite Chinese restaurant was closed. Off to bed after skyping mom, looking foward to Terra cottas tomorrow.
