Hooray! Blue Skies! Fresh Air! Green Stuff!

Under the spreading chestnut tree....


Cappucino, anyone?



Peter and Sally on a camping date...carefully chaperoned by Ava and Bella.



9th grade tree monkeys.
Also known as Zach and Cam.


Wishing for s'mores...
Ian and Noah kept hoping til the sun went down...next time!

An unexpected breakfast guest.


Delicious cherries--especially this winter when they'll be dipped in sugar glaze!


What is looks like when it's NOT smoggy!



ANYTHING's better than THIS!

Where were you guys camping? Have you been to the great wall?.

Ave, we were about an hour outside of Beijing near a section of the Wall called Mutianyu. You can see the unrestored sections from where we were...it's not a campground or anything, just a space in the hills with a parking area.

You can climb up to the wall and mess around and hike on it--it's not restored so it's rocky and difficult, but we didn't that day.
