Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

THE GREAT WALL OF CHINA

As you may know, Devin went to China with Notre Dame's MBA program last week. Here are some pictures from the Great Wall of China. It was definitely the highlight of the trip. The Great Wall has many different sections that tourists are allowed to visit. This particular one is slightly less touristy than some of the others, but there were still plenty of vendors, a gondola, a chairlift, and an alpine slide to help you up and down the mountain.

Here's the gang resting after about an hour of uphill hiking on the wall.


The wall is about 30 feet high and would be hard to get over.


The wall extends over all the ridges you can see in this picture.



Posing for the camera.




Showing off...again.

Welcome back to the world traveler. I'm sure the pictures don't do justice to that magnificent structure. Pretty incredible. Hope your trip went well! Post more pictures soon! P.S. Happy Halloween on Saturday.
