It went quite well today. Bai Hua was very excited to show us around and also show us off. We took the books to the English class and she also passed out chocolates to the children. They were very happy to get the treat. All of the kids call Bai Hua Jie Jie. We were told again that she was the "rockstar" of the orphanage. She gave speeches and sang for everyone on holidays and when visitors came.
Chris got to hold a couple of the children. One followed him around calling him Ba Ba. It was sad and sweet. I one the other hand played with a blind toddler by doing the same stomp that he did. He was quite familiar with his surroundings. It was incredible to watch him navigate.
Bai Hua took tons of photos with her camera. I will post some later. We were not allowed to photograph children but Bai Hua was free to take any photos she wanted. They did allow us to take photos of the kids getting their books in the English class.
Gotta go get some dinner...Talk to you soon!

How sweet! It really sounds like you are all doing great. Bai Hua sounds very sweet. I'm glad that my little Kennedy angel pumpkin is being such a good sister! Continue to have a great time. What a great experience this is for all of you! Grandma is enjoying the trip vicariously. I sent flowers for Uncle Del to Aunt Helen and she called me today and is doing OK. Leah brought me a beautiful flower basket for Mother's Day. Take Care, Love, MOM
