After breakfast today, we headed out to see Tianammen Square and the Beijing Zoo. It was HOT!
In between these two stops, we had lunch at McDonalds. It's never my first choice at home, but
nothing tastes better when I've had too much Chinese food.

The kids love having their pictures taken. It's a great way to get them interacting with us. One of
the girls is quite the photographer. She's grabbed our cameras and taken some great pictures!

We were able to interact with the kids some at McDonalds and the zoo. We enjoyed seeing the
pandas and the zoo grounds were very pretty. However, we were probably the most interesting
exhibit for all of the other zoo patrons. I'm certain Ryan will be appearing in photo albums across
China!

Tonight, we were able to play ball with them again after dinner. They are under the supervision of
the CCAA and their nannies, so we are never sure what they will be free to do. But, they all love
to have fun when given the chance!

After games, the children and nannies began to teach us a beautiful Chinese song. We are
supposed to sing it on Friday at the closing ceremonies. That should be interesting. However,
we are picking up a few more words of Chinese.
