Chinese New Year is celebrating the Year of the Rat........!
As we keep in touch with a lot of the families we traveled to China with (had a summer reunion.....contstantly email.....call...try and get together when we can), we decided to have a Play date with the children to celebrate Chinese New Year...(Gung Hay Fat Choy....).....
On Feb 9th, we met at a play place in the Northboro area for the group known as China 137 (we are the 137th group through Wide Horizon to travel to China).......The kids had a blast, and we all went to a buffett lunch in Shrewsbury...It really is a close 'family' for China 137......Even though there were close to 30 families that traveled to China with us, it is always great to see everyone...catch up....see how the kids are changing and growing......
Bella was from the Guangxi province of China........When we went to get her from that province and the city of Nanning, we traveled with 3 other families......The Trainers (who adopted Roma)......The Pagano's (Carmen traveled all by herself, which was incredible.......they adopted Jianna) and the Benoit's (who adopted Laina), as well as Miss Sandra (who traveled with the Trainers and become a dear friend to all of us, especially Zach)........In any event, we are all getting together the weekend of March 29th here in Mansfield...! We are looking forward to seeing the Guangxi Girls......and how they have changed....!!! The families will come down Saturday and spend the night at local hotels, with everyone coming over to our house to just relax and play......It should be a lot of fun, and will have some great stories and reminincising........
Above is a picture of Zach and Bella from the Chinese New Year play date....
