Dan's a Genius!

Ok so Dan is a genius but we will get back to that:)  Today was the day that Cole's TB was checked.  It was fine and there is no need for anymore testing!  Yay!
We then went to Western Han Nanyue King's Tomb Museum.  It was awesome!  The girls absolutly loved it and did not want to leave.  It is over 2,000 years old.  It was discovered when they were building the China Marriott and the site was being excavated.  It was completly intact with all of its treasures.  We were able to go into the actual tomb!  It is not really big but to be able to step inside somewhere that was made 2,000 years ago, that's awesome!  And again the girls really got a big kick out of it.  I recommend it to people just to check out and the price was great!  It was only 37rmb (around $6) thats all together not per person, the kids were free and we only had to pay for the adults. 

This is front of the medical checkup building where Cole passed his TB test.  We knew he was a smart kid;) 

This is the top part of the tomb that was discovered after moving 65.5 feet of dirt from a large hill. 
The large stones was from over an hour away and they have no idea how it was cut from the mountain or moved here.

This is Donna Rose in the tomb reading something.  Like I said she really liked it!

Dan standing in the doorway exiting the tomb.  That is the original door.  So cool!

One hundred years ago they built something on the hill not knowing what was beneath it.  here we are standing next to it.

Ok and now here it is...Dan is a genius.  He figured out that the hot pot used to heat water for tea, coffee, and , water can be used to boil spaghetti!!!  We had sticker shock when we payed $70 for Italian food that was not that amazing.  So Dan came up this idea and it only cost $7.  Yes that is alot for spaghetti with sauce but it is a lie that everything is cheaper in China!


We had some pretty monumental moments today.  Today a chinese lady at the hotel picked up Cole and he started to cry and reach out for me.  I love to see him want me!  Even though my arms and back are killing me because he is no tiny boy:)  We took him toy shopping for the first time in his life and let him pick out some toys.  He was a tasmania devil and had so much fun until his brain could take no more and he broke down.  Back at the hotel room he was playing with Dan's shoes and trying to put them on.  And then tonight when I went to put him to bed he did not cry but instead he started to suck his fingers and play with his belly button (yes, that is what he does to comfort himself).  But no tears!!!!  He seemed happy and content and went to sleep right away! 

So overall today was a good day!
