China in review (so far)

If you're wondering what our travel to China has been like so far, you can read some notes on Amy's blog. But here's a video recap of the trip over from Ben and Will's perspective :)

This was video is from this morning on the Great Wall of China. Will and I had found a spot to rest and wait for Amy and Ben to catch up with us. (Be sure to notice Ben in background yelling, "We'll see you in a minute!") The scenery was magnificent.

And it's true. Ben, and especially Will, are quite popular. It's hard to tell how many times we were stopped by people asking to take a picture with them. (I might need to google "picture with a cute white kid with freckles and dimples on the Great Wall of China" to see how many of those pictures have been posted to the web!) Even in a shopping center where we ate lunch today, Will was being stalked around every corner by two clerks trying to get him to give them hugs (see picture below). I'm afraid they'll start thinking they're celebrities.

(Also a quick shout out to Dad for the power converter that is making all these updates possible--keeping our camera, computer, video camera and all other technology charged! Thanks!)

Dude- that is awesome, I am so jealous. I can't imagine how amazing it is to be back in China, sharing that part of you with Amy and the kids. I truly hope I can share that with Shannon and the fam one day. We miss you and can't wait to finally settle down schedules so we can hang out like we need to. Love ya bro

Loved the video perspective from the kids! Will watched every second of it with me without moving a muscle.

Can't wait to show these to Amelia. She's asked about Ben and Will everyday wondering where they were and what they were doing.
