Beijing Tour - Day 2 --Sat. Feb. 24

Hello everyone, I am going to make this post short and sweet. This is our second day of tours. They began at about 8 A.M. and finished around 6-7 P.M. We are starting to get real tired but it has been fabulous. One of the pictures is of the Chinese Acrobat Show. This was a wonderful experience and something we have never done in the past. Kaleigh slept through 90% of the show. We drove past the Olympic stadium where the opening ceremonies will be held. The Chinese people call this the bird nest. It is huge and is probably twice the size of the Olympic Coloseum in Los Angeles. They said that this is what it will look like on the outside and that there will not be any other type of covering on it. The Olympic Village and most of the venues are all pretty close to each other and we drove past most of them. Kaleigh was really excited about the Great Wall. She would tell people she was going to a big wall and she agreed that it was really big and hard to climb. We got quite a way up the wall but she did not want to come down. It really scared her so we had to carry her and let me tell you how much fun that was. And finally, there is a picture posted showing you Kaleigh and two little sisters in our travel group that Kaleigh has really enjoyed playing with. One of the two sisters is from Kaleigh and Kenzie's province of Hubei. We are having so much fun but we can't wait until tomorrow because we leave real early to fly to Kaleigh and Kenzie's province. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. Today my heart is really aching for Kenzie knowing that she is spending the last few hours with the only mother that she has ever know. I hope that we will be able to comfort her in those first few hours. Love, JILL
