The Summer Palace

We got to go to the Summer Palace in Beijing! It's the castle where the old Emperors used to go to have fun during the Summer when it was too hot in the city. It's so cool! Everything is very very old, but you can still climb and walk all over everything. We loved it, and so did our baby brother! He never got tired even after climbing a whole mountain! We liked to play on these steps, they were kind of like a slide! The building is pretty neat too.


People still like taking pictures of us wherever we go. This lady and her husband followed us around for about 15 minutes. Then my dad took some pictures of her taking pictures of us. It was really weird--I don't think we ever would like to be famous.


This bridge was built in 1756--it's older than America!! Wow!

We really liked climbing all the stairs--it was kind of like being old explorers!
