Parks.....sleeping babies.......party in the hall...!

Today we went to the Nanning City People's Park, which is about a 5 minute walk from our hotel....it is a gorgeous park, with ponds, plenty of trees/shade.....a small amusement park......old fort......we went as a group, but we ended up breaking off by ourselves to go to the amusement park (we are the only ones with an active 6 year old in the group)......Its amazing how much power of persuasion a 6 year old has over you.....having a small fear of heights, next thing I knew I am in a rather high Chinese Ferris Wheel, overlooking the city........My immediate thoughts were that we'd get stuck up thre, much to Zach's delight.......All ended fine, and we proceeded to go on more rides......mini roller coaster that spun.......a tilt a whirl type ride....and the best.....a large 'circle' that you sit in and pedal it around this large track....course, pedals weren't big enough for Zach to pedal, so here dad is pedalling like crazy.....before we got on, we noticed a small silver pedal.....i smiled, pointed at it and said 'brake'....the operator grinned...and nodded.....so off we went....less than half way around the track, a winded dad stopped pedalling, turned to Zach and said we need to take a break...(i thought to myelf, how long is this track???)...Zach put his foot on the silver 'brake' pedal, and off we went....!!! Yes, the damn ride was electric, and I did NOT have to pedal the whole time.....after the park, back to the hotel for some lunch and a quick swim.....we then went with another lady on the trip to Wal Mart to stock up on some supplies (mostly munchies for Zach and Bella, who SNACKS as much as he does), and some beer and wine for the families back at the hotel...(4 altogether, including us)........after we got back to the hotle, we had an impromptu party in the hall......all of us are on same floor, and have rooms next to each other....we opened our doors....put blankets on the floor for the kids....had munchies...some wine....beer.....very nice and relaxing.....kids had a ball.........Bella was the life of the party...laughing....giggling.......when we were at the area of Wal Mart, we got Zach a cheese pizza at Pizza Hut......'real' Chinese food for lunch and dinner is starting to wear thin on him..so he relished the pizza.....Tina and I both said that we WOULD love to have a nice steak dinner one night........Anyway, tomorrow it is off to the 'caves'......guess they have caves that are similar to the Polar Caves, so taking a trip out there......should be fun.......
