Finally Final!

Monday, March 25th, 2013...Mycah's adoption is now final in the eyes of China as well as the U.S.  Although he will not be a U.S. citizen until we touch down in Chicago, all paperwork is now completed!  No cameras were allowed in the Consulate office, but I took an oath on his behalf, submitted a few last papers, and answered a couple more questions.  The whole thing was over in less that 20 minutes.

So off we went to celebrate...at the Safari Park!  Mycah absolutely loves animals, so this was quite a day!  And the fact that it rained on us most of the time made it even better...or so he thought!

Safari train ride!

Sippy cup got benched for the water bottle...not sure if he was more wet from the rain or the drink!?

Some of us got to feed the giraffes, but Mycah would have nothing of that!

Llama or Duck?  Ever play that game?  A certain someone or two may be a tiny bit addicted!

First Oreo...yummy!

Wiped out!

We ended our day with about 50 friends at a local Mexican restaurant, Tekila's.  The food was good, but the fellowship was great!  We have walked this adoption journey with these families for months now, and to finally see them live and in person with their families was so much fun!  I am sure everyone thinks that their travel "group" was the best, but I am quite sure that ours really was!
