Long Time, No talk.

Well hello there :) It has been such a long time since I have written... Since the last post I have finished the sixth grade, finished the seventh grade, and I am about to enter the eighth grade... Wow. Now I am 13 years old, Eli and Keaton are now eight, Mia is five (almost six!), Harrison is 16, and Hayden is 11. We have done so much since we've gotten home. We've gone to Pennsylvania, I have gone to Chicago (Going again soon! YEAH! ♥), Harrison got his braces off, I got my braces on, Harrison has started drivers ed., I went to the Wilderness with my friends twice, and SO much more!!!! Well, today I will be going to costume shops to look for a costume for tomorrow. I am going to the renaissance fair with my best friend Anna! We are thinking about dressing up as renaissance fairies, I think that would be SO much fun! Well I have to go, but here are some pictures of the past two years. Once again I am SO sorry I haven't gotten in touch! But I promise I will write more soon! ~♥Maddy☺♥~

Guangzhou Zoo

OK, when you go to the zoo you see animals like lions and monkeys and there all in cages, right. HA!!! Not here in China!! When we went to the Guangzhou Safari Zoo we were looking at the gift shop when I saw a place called the Secret Forest. So we walked over to it and went inside thinking that it would be a bunch of rare animals in cages. There were rare animals all right but they were not in cages!!! Even the vulture and the owl!!! They didn't even fly off. And the funniest part was that the monkeys were on ropes above our heads!!! and they didn't even jump off and kill us like I thought they were going to!! The best part of it all was when we went to go see the wight tiger cub. It was the cuttiest thing!!!

Other things we saw:

~the kuala twins

~lions and tigers and bears... oh my!! TEE HEE!!!

~pandas (WICH WERE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!)

~and many many more!!!

Well I have to go!!

That means my brother will finally have someone to play with besides myself!!!! And guess what else... They have a Subway!!!!!!!! I have been craving American food like forever now!!! Well got to go to bed, Bye!!!

Off to Guangzhou

There are 9 million people in Guangzhou. I can not wait to get there. It will be an hour and a half plain ride and Eli's first plane ride. We are looking forward to better weather. Wuhan has a lot of pollution and spit and smoke and well some pretty bad things but it was still really nice and pretty like New York. But still my mom said that Guangzhou was really pretty the last time she was there and I can not wait!!!!! Well I have to go to get on to the airplane and head to Guangzhou I will post when I get there!!!!!!
