First of all, I jinxed us when I had said everyone was healthy. Last night ( Sat. Night ) Kim became ill. Not super bad sick, we didn't need "House" for a consult, but bad enough that she could not get out of bed to go to dinner. Felt awful for her. The dilemma we faced was that Annie really doesn't go far from Kim's sight and we needed dinner, then bath, then bed. Molly and I ventured off to the restaurant armed with all the tools of the trade, bib, sippy cup, baby utensils, toys and a ton of patience. Dinner was awesome as we had so much fun and Annie and I really started to make some connections.....Molly was such a big help as usual..... We got back to the room and got Annie a bath and Kim felt a little better and was able to get her to sleep.
Today, as the pictures above show you, we were off to the Safari Park as it was our one day off in Guangzhou. It was a game time decision on Kim making the starting line-up, but as our franchise player, she was at the line of scrimmage at game time.....still not feeling great, but ready for the park........ After going to this park, Annie is going to be REAL disappointed with the Ross Park Zoo. We seriously did not know what to expect and it was amazing. Every major species of animal was represented in a big way. Of course they had the largest collection of pandas in the world. Annie was really excited throughout the day as she was experiencing animal sights and sounds in person for the first time. It was 70 degrees and sunny and it was great to get out of the hotel for a day of fun. Eating at the park was interesting.....we all stuck with fried rice and washed it down with coke zero. Kim stole some bread and jelly at breakfast and brought that along for herself. Everything else in the food pavilion was shouting "warning Will Robinson", " warning Will Robinson". (bet my kids won't understand that joke).
We had an early dinner tonight and everyone is in bed. Tomorrow morning we go back to the hospital and get the TB results. I'm sure that it is fine, but a positive result could cause some logistical problems with our schedule. Here's hoping for the best......
Can't wait for everyone to meet Annie. She's pretty cool.....pretty tough......a survivor.
