There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

BEIJING DAY #3 -- THE GREAT WALL
FEBRUARY 23, 2015

We took a ride from the hostel to a different section of the Great Wall for a different view.  It was amazing!  We took a cable car up the hill to the wall, hiked the wall and had some great views!  It was really cool to look out and see parts of the old wall that had not been rebuilt.  When we were through viewing the wall, we took a bobsled ride down the hill to get back to the bottom.  It was quite fun!


























































































After the Great Wall, we went on a little tour of the Olympic Sites in Beijing.  We had fun walking around the "Bird's Nest" and seeing the "Water Cube."
