We are all getting so anxious to get home! Yesterday we went to West Lake and toured the Pagoda. It was really amazing and to get to see all of the antient art in there was a life time experience. You can go up to 5 floors and on each floor you can walk around the outside of the pagoda and look at all the scenary. It was so beautiful, you could see all over West Lake and Hangzhou. It was really hot though, so when we were done touring the pagoda we went into a little shop at the bottom and bought fans. I never really understood why fans were so big to the chinesse until I actually came here lol. We then went to dinner at the Yoho Cafe, it’s an Italian resturant. It was SO good!! I wish we would have found it when we first arrived here! The food was amazing for being an italian resturant in China. On our way back to the hospital we drove along West Lake and caught the very end of a water show, it was really neat! We are glad we got to go out and visit more of China and it’s beautiful scenary!
Kade has been doing awesome! For the past few nights Kade has been waking up and going to the end of his crib where I leave all the toys. He has a drum toy that lights up when you hit it and before he really wasn’t that interested in it and now at night he will go to the end of his crib and play with it. Everytime he hits it the lights on the drum go off, so we think that he is more interested in it now because he may be able to see the lights when he hits it!
Everyone here in the hospital is getting sick, so all of the nurses and staff are walking around with masks on to try and not spread whatever it is that’s going around. Only 2 more days left so I hope none of us get really sick!!! We have been staying in our room for the most part becuase we don’t want to catch anything. Tonight everyone was planning on getting together to have snacks and drinks, but who knows how many people will actually be able to go now. Well we can’t wait to get home and see everyone and we will write again one last time tomorrow!
Love,
Annalise, Steven, and Kade

Hi Annalise! Arno says hi to all, and can’t wait to see Kade. Arno wants to know if you can bring him a chinese coin or money. He collects forein money. Pat says hi, and almost cried when she heard that Kade saw the light on the pen! They all wanted to say hello.
Good luck on your way back home.
