Friday In Beautiful China!!

We started the day out really early!! Ran down for a quick early breakfast.Then we had to meet our Awesome guide David at 7am!!We were all so sleepy from the late night before but were excited about traveling to Aubrey's Orphange! It was a very long ride.3hours!! So when we finely arrived she was very very excited and went in all smiles and of course had to PEE PEE!!I thik this girl just loves seeing her mama search for Chinese bathrooms all over China!! But we went in and they were thrilled to see her especially a few teachers and her friends! It was very very nice they were putting on a show for us.All the children performed!!Including our princess!Aubrey seemed a bit overwhelmed by everything going on.Guess it's hard on a little mind! I couldn't even imagine! I had to fight back tears the whole time.My heart absolutely broke for my precious girl and what she had been thru.Then I was totally heart broken for all the precious children left behind!!They had an award ceremony also.I was a mess!I just couldn't help to think that these precious ones don't have a home or mama and baba to go show there certificate to!! Broke my heart.They were all interested in Aubrey's new clothes and shoes. She wanted specail gifts for her two best buddies.They were thrilled!Then we bought lot's of treats for all the other children.She really really enjoyed going to every class and passing out treats.Then it was time to go to the foster families. I wasn't sure how this would go so I was a bit nervous.She seemed to be excited and ran upto the building and pushed the call button then started up four flights of stairs.I really had mixed emotions about this.Her foster family seemed very nice and the kids were so excited but I'm not sure about the parents.They really didnt seem that emotional at all.But they were very nice so that was good.The room they said she slept in was the size of a closet with a bed as hard as a brick.I can't wait to see what she thinks of her bed and her new room. This girl loves toy's so she will be in heaven.I was worried how she might act when we left but she really didnt say anything!She did seem a bit sad. But the fostermom kept standing on the steps calling her name the orphange director told her to go on. I think she just wanted Aubrey to want to stay. After we got back in the van Aubrey was out!She gets car sick so she trys to sleep if were in the van anytime at all. She was fine until about 30 mins before we arrived back and stopped to let her PEE PEE!!I'm going to hear PEE PEE in my dreams!She thru up when got out of the van and seemed pretty car sick. when we arrived on Shamian Island she was still pretty car sick so we went in Lucy's to get something to eat hoping she would start feeling better.She did!!Then she was her funny little wild self. So we walked around the island and did a little shopping!! PRAYERS PLEASE because we lost our camcorder and it had a whole tape of video's from the orphange today!!! I'm truly heart broken!!I pray to God someway the driver will turn it in!!The cab driver!!Please everyone pray!!We had to leave it in the cab we took home because I went back to the island to every store and it wasn't there. PLEASE LORD PLEASE this tape can never be replaced!!I dont even care if we get the camcorder but please the tape!!We are all exhausted and ready to get some sleep!Just a bit discouraged!!Blessings Lisa
