Beijing

Our time in Beijing was spent of course getting to know Caleb and going on lots of sight seeing trips! My favorites was the Great Wall and shopping at the markets!

We are on our way to get some groceries.

Our room before we messed it up.

A wedding was happening in our hotel. The bride and groom spoke to each other from behind the curtain and then the curtain dropped and there was dry ice smoke and rose petals. We stuck around and watched it.


At the Beijing Zoo.

Caleb, me and Flat Stanely at the entrance to the Great Wall!


Before our climb. It was cold at the bottom but the higher we got the warmer it got. I carried him up and Bernie carried him down. My legs were like jello!

Amazing!

This little gril is wearing the traditional "split pants", it allows for ease of going to the washroom for babies.

Bernie and Caleb

We met this girl and her mom on the Great Wall they were very interested in us and of course Caleb. They took a few pictures and just sat by watching us for a while. It gave them a Nova Scotia pin and took a picture of her with  Flat Stanely and it all happened on The Great Wall!

Very tired after his days adventrues!

The Summer Palace. It is a huge park it was rebuilt in 1902. This is a marble boat.
