July 29, 2009

Sorry folks, I couldn't post this blog last night. Mark needed the computer for his class and the assignment he was working on was due at midnight, so I had to wait till this morning.

Another hot and very smoggy day in Beijing. We went to Tianamen square today. It was rather interesting to know that students here are not taught about the history, as we know it, of Tianamen square. Our guide learned about it because tourists were asking her questions. We also went to the Forbidden City. What a nightmare! It was very, very busy. It was beautiful, but difficult to take it all in with people bumping into us, trying to keep track of our kids and making sure we didn't lose each other or become seperated from the group. One woman from our group became seperated from her husband. Needless to say we were all pretty worried. Thank goodness our guide told us where to meet if we did get lost. Poor gal was very emotional and relieved to see her hubby and child again!


Once again all 3 of our kids did an amazing job!! And no major tantrums today!! Malia stayed in her bed all night!! We feel very blessed! She is a very smart and happy little girl! She is trying to figure out where the boundaries are and is very mischievious! She knows what is expected, but then does the opposite and then laughs. It is kind of funny but also frustrating!
