An Amazing Day

A TRIP TO THE HOME OF THE QING DYNASTY

At 7 a.m. we left the hotel for McDonald's to pick up box lunches for our field trip with the children of Fushun. Try and get your local McDonald's to cook burgers and fries at 7 in the morning.

We boarded up 25 kids, several nannies, the social welfare institute director, the orphanage director and eight Americans and headed off by bus on a 1 1/2 hour ride to the home of the founder of the Qing Dynasty.

There was a small park at the Qing Dynasty home with a small lake, paddle boats and a water bridge for fun. An did they have fun! After eating our 5 hour old fries and burgers the kids had a great time playing with frisbees and beach balls.

We headed back to the orphanage about 4 p.m. with a lot of sleeping kids and Americans. What an "Amazing Day."
