Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. -Isaiah 43:5

An invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place, or circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but will never break.

Free Day #3,another Lanzhou Park

We found a group of Kindergarten aged children in the park we were at today, they were so cute.



Some stranded cars in the murky waters.




Another part of the park and pond



There is a petting zoo?!?!? inside the park, with bunnies, top cage were some squirrels, and two goats and a deer in the background.




Picture of water feeding the man made ponds.




Local vendors selling all kinds of different produce near the park.




Another view of the park and pond. On the farthest end there were men fishing. The pond had a net fence near a bridge, I'm guessing to keep the fish at the far end because nobody was fishing anywhere else.



Play area of swings, and different playground equipment for children.




On the bridge crossing the water, it is hard to see but there was a zip line behind us. We saw two people riding it. There was also a paintball area that we unknowingly walked into. Luckily thee was nobody playing at the time.

Not much to post about today, we went to dept store tonight after dinner to get some more snacks for next couple of days. We walk to a book store tomorrow. Hopefully we can find some music CD's and books for Emma. She loves music (and the little toy player that Grandma Steiner bought for her, she plays it all the time) and books. So good night for now. We will get ready to leave Lanzhou tomorrow for Gaungzhou on Saturday morning at 5:30 am.


Eric, Jenn, Emma & Evelyn
