My "Hero!!!!"


There's a saying in China, our guide Summer tells us, that those who make it to the top of the Great Wall are considered a "hero!" Well, Tim is definitely my hero, and now in the eyes of China... A hero too!!!

Today was a fun filled day with all the rest of the families in our travel group...there are 5 families all together... One from North Carolina, one from South Carolina, one from Pennsylvania, and one from Lousiana...so I never thought we would say this, but we are the ones that stick out like a sore thumb...lol...not really, but we might come back with a "ya'll" or two in our vocabulary :-)!!! Everyone is super nice and we are having a ton of fun with them!!

After breakfast, we headed to Tianammen Square, the Forbidden City, and then to the Great Wall of China...

Our battery on our camera is dead (charging now for our big day tomorrow...), so I can only post the photos Tim took with the iPad...I'll post some more fun ones later :-)!


This is about maybe half way up to the top... Mind you that the steps are incredibly uneven and all different heights, so it is a lot more difficult than it looks!!!

I made it the farthest out of all the girls, and farther than 3 of the guys :-), but Tim and Jeremy (another dad) made it to the top..."Hero's!!!!" 


This is a picture a Tim took from higher up where you can see a birds eye view of part of the Great Wall...


Just about to the top...woo hoo!!! Way to go!!!

We will add more pictures later, but I hope you enjoy these for now...

Tomorrow is the big day!!! Please keep us in your prayers as we meet our daughter for the first time!!! We are so excited, and can't wait to send pictures!!! Thank you for your constant prayers and support!!! We love you all!!!
