Tuesday Night Update - More Photos...

Hi there, C here,

Here are some more photos of the crew...

The boys mugging in Shenyang



In the Park in Dalian City (I think Dylan may have thought this horse was real!)



Big Brother showing Little Brother how to wear swim Goggles!




At the Medical Clinic in GZ just after D-man's Exam...
(We have an identical photo of Kyle when we first adopted him - same pose!!)



The fellas enjoying a quick lunch of Ramen Noodles in GZ.
It was very obvious that Dylan had had these before.
He got every last noodle out of the cup before he would hand it over!



Lisa made me take this one - It's Chairman Mao, in Shenyang.
(He was a lot taller than I thought!)



While we toured the Forbidden City in Shenyang, we stopped for a photo in front of the theater stage in one of the courtyards. This man insisted that he be in our photo, to the sheer entertainment of his group of touring friends. The most excellent MV took this photo.
There were more cameras pointed AT US in the Shenyang Forbidden City, than at any of the other sights during this trip.
A bit unnerving for young Kyle - no bother for the rest of us!



A great candid shot of the Mom's Boy's touring the Mansion of one of the Great Generals of the Revolution.



Yesterday, we took a drive up along the North Shore, making a giant circle of the Island. Our first stop was the North Shore Martketplace.

Here are the boys...



Of course, we stopped for Shave Ice at Matsumoto's, just down the road...



We had a really nice time - good weather - we visited a couple of nice beaches.
He also had lunch at the Turtle Bay Resort at the tip of the North Shore.
He took the highway (H3) back to civilization.

Today we visited the Sea Life Park (where the movie "50 First Dates" - chick flick - was filmed). The boys had another meltdown free day, and we drove home the LONG way. The Park is on the far eastern tip of Oahu, but we drove back along Kamenamena Hwy along the water - another breathtaking drive. Not to worry though, Lisa was there to make sure I kept my eyeballs on the road: "Watch the line!", "This guy's stopping!", Watch it - he's going to pull right out in front of you!" ...you get the idea.
Seriously, we had a really nice day. We supped at the North Shore Marketplace (Breaker's) and enjoyed smoothies from Jamba Juice down near the highway.

Here are some photos from today:

Just after the Dolphin Show, Mom and the Boys posed in front of the tank:



Kyle and Mom getting a chance to touch a live turtle (1 yr. old) while Dylan hung back...



Feeding the Giant Hawaiian Sea Turtles:



At the end of the day a truly miraculous shot of the family (given the fraying emotional state of affairs):



Here is a parting shot for all of you...last night's sunset as seen from our balcony.



With that I'm headed off to sleep...more stories and photos, soon...
