Our last full day!

Today was our last full day in China.  As much as we loved it here we are ready to go home and begin life as a family of five.  

Today we went to Tianneman Square and the Forbidden City - both were really neat to see. The Forbidden City is beautiful, all the buildings are breathtaking!  

Both places are very busy tourist attractions - some of the busiest in the world. Therefore they attract many different kinds of people. There were beggars out front which was diificult to see as they are not the homeless people we are used to but instead people with deformities or people bring their children that are deformed.  We saw one boy about Dylan's age covered in growths on his head and his arms were severely burned - it's one of those things that you would rather not see because it breaks your heart knowing that some children in the world have so much more to bare than we do.  

Dylan was still the star of the show - we would say Dylan to your left and he would sigh, turn, smile and pose. Too funny!

I can't seem to get my pictures from the day to post - I will post those when we come back from dinner.
