On our way out of town (to the US for passports, visas and a family visit), we spent a few days in Beijing. My daughters and I did the same thing the last time we left Eagles Wings for the US, and we took Hong Wei, our oldest boy with us for some sightseeing. I can tell you there was a LOT of whining from the other big kids who didn't get to go! But I promised them their chance would come, and Hong Wei was only chosen because he was the oldest (eldest?). So true to my word, this time we took the two girls who live with us...YuanYuan and Liu Er. They were SO SO SO excited for the couple weeks before hand, it was fun to see their excitement for the big trip. They turned out to be great travelers and we had an awesome time. Our two Australian volunteers, Andrew and Noela, also came along to see the sights and help me keep track of the five girls! I'll let the photos tell most of the story. :)
