Beijing Day 3

You have to really love us to look through all these pictures.  It will be easier to put captions under anything important.  Enjoy the show......


Starting the day at the Great Wall

We were there during the most beautiful season.  All the ivy and leaves were orange and red.  My favorite.

This is just one small section of the wall.  The entire length spans 6,000 kilometers which is longer than the width of the entire United States.

Ava and her bestie playing at the Wall.  Pretty cool!

A and Lila

It was pretty crowded and steep.  


Always wanted to see the Wall.  Check.

Love the translations.

It was too steep for the little ones to climb but Cole had his heart set on it so he and Ry made it to the top.


My 'North Face' gloves I bought from a toothless man on the street.  I got a steal.  3 bucks for these bad boys!
And they're 'North Face'!  I don't think so.  It was one piece of felt with fingers sewn together.

Little Bunnies at Tienamen Square.




Rub for good like.... just like the Karate Kid.

Oh wait... these were the ones.


Inside the Forbidden City.  It was forever and forever.  Ry kept asking if we were inside yet.... our tour guide would say 'almost' then it was another building and courtyard just like this.  Over and over and over and over.

And another......

And another......


More photo ops.

This was the acrobat show we went to in the evening.
Ry was pulled onstage to perform this chair trick.
Well maybe not... but he can do this at home 'wink'.


Something for me and the girls to work on.

The pool at the Hyatt was awesome.  The kids loved coming here at night and swimming and having dinner.



Love this sweet girl!



A worn out Dad.

Such a handsome devil.

Must be in a deep conversation???

Another end to a fantastic day.
