Zoe, Porter, Brock, Chael and Dash.
Family came to China to play! Brian's brother Steve and his wife, Rachelle, and their five children came plus another niece and nephew. We had so much fun! We started out in Shanghai.
We flew to Guilin and drove to the Longji Rice Terraces. It's something I've only done once years ago before I ever met Brian. It's really cool to see the tribal people who make these beautiful mountains their home and livelihood.
The women have super super long hair and if you pay them they will take it down and show it to you. And you can watch how the twist it and make their updo.
Our tourguide is a local Chinese member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He's a friend of our friends and we are grateful for all he did for us.

Ready! To hike in the misty rain to another village.
It took us about four hours to hike the village we were going to. And with the gorgeous cloudy skies and cloudy weather it made for great pics. I loved the hike. Everyone but Porter, Dash and Chael did it. Tony hung back with the kids because of an injury.
