Beijing Full Day 2

Today was a busy day!!

We left our hotel this AM at 7:00 to go to the Great Wall. We were trying to beat the heat...Well we didn't succeed. I just couldn't believe we were going to see this magnificent sight!

We rode a chair lift up and a toboggan down...That was a riot!! SO funny!! We stayed there for a couple of hours hiking the wall.

We then left and went to another authentic chinese restaurant to eat. I thought it was really great.. But Chris is having serious DEPOT withdraws. (We are only on day 4) He says he promises he will never miss another Thursday chicken day. If someone sees Wanda and the rest of the crew tell them he says he is going to have to hug them for making such great food when he returns. lol

We then traveled to the Olympic Park where the Olympics were held. So many people everywhere. It was neat to see the Birds Nest and the other stuff.

Finally, we ended the day with an Acrobatic Show. I have to be honest I was really dreading it. When it hits about 4 to 5 o'clock I just want to go to bed. I have yet to sleep past four in the morning. But it was great and amazing to watch.

The boys are doing so good...We skype every morning and every night. There are having so much fun with family and friends. They even went to the rodeo (Thanks Elizabeth!)

Tomorrow we travel to Changsha and prepare to meet our daughter. Please pray for safe travels.

Much love to all of you!
