Lindsay.Laney.Ryan while visiting in Beijing

We had a wonderful week with Lindsay, Laney and Ryan - we just wish that we had all of the grandkids with us. You will see just a few of the pictures that were taken. Lindsay has most of the 650 pictures on her camera. We visited all of the highlights of Beijing from the Forbidden City to the Great Wall but their most favorite was “shopping”. They learned quickly how to bargain for a good deal!

What  great looking grandkids - love those glasses

Love those eyes too!


We are all getting ready in the bathroom.  Who said we couldn't share just fine!

Aren't they handsome, beautiful kids-  Lindsay.Ryan.Laney

Lindsay is waiting for a subway train

Hutong by Confucious Temple

Vegetarian restaurant that we have been waiting to take Lindsay 
to visit.  It was closed for the buffet but we ordered from the menu..that was a bummer!

Confuscious Temple

What do you think Lindsay?

It was a very cold Sunday afternoon in Beijing

Touching the knobs of the door to the Temple brings  good luck

Four very wise people

A wise old man that Laney found on the street

A man with several wives lived in this Hutong at one 
time before the Cultural Revolution.

Families live in these little places
A very fancy door lock for this humble dwelling

The lady is writing Gracie's name in a shop that we visited.

Typical Chinese gate.

This lady is blind from gloucoma.  She is playing a 
Tho and tending her baby, hoping that people will  donate money
,

What a cutie - Lindsay having a facial

You probably can't tell that this is Ryan

Laney and the seaweed mask
It was time for departure...waiting for two taxi's to arrive

Our last meal together at the beautiful Beijing airport...Burger King!


Such sweet farewells

The kids loved eating at the Brown Door - Chinese food - most plates are empty

A visit to the night market - whole birds have been grilled

The fried banana balls were very tasty.
