We went to the city zoo this AM. It was really nice. Apprarently there is also a safari about 1 hours drive, where they have 10 pandas and you can pet the baby animals. That would have been cool. But the city zoo was close and had lots to see. We saw baby lion cubs, giraffes eating, HUGE tigers, and 2 pandas, and a variety of other animals. The weather was a little cooler today and it perfect for walking around the zoo. Also we saw some huge hippos kissing!! That's right kissing. They were in two seperate areas and the boy was trying to visit the girl. Our guide said they were going on a date. It was really neat-o!!
R&J are having a fun time. They looked a little tired today. Everyone in our room (except me) is napping right now. I bet they are napping too.
Liam continues to get more comfortable with us and is a really cute and happy guy. I have been feeding him yogurt at breakfast and today he let me feed him lunch. Yeah Lucy's and the fabulous noodles there!
I have also been putting him to bed at night and that goes pretty smoothly. Especially if we've been busy and he's tired anyway. He still wants Andy during the night and last night ended up sleeping between us for a while. That was okay, but he kept kicking Andy. I don't think A was very happy about it!
Liam was laughing at Scarlett and her antics today, and I'm hoping that he'll start wanting to interact with her more soon. She desperately wants to play with him but he's still pretty cautious/leary of her. She is patient and sweet with him though and quite possessive. She tells everyone we meet that Liam is HER baby brother.
Well I better run for now. Only so many peaceful moments I have during the day.
Julia--if your reading this, please email me a photo of the kids... Scarlett is missing them so much. I think she'd love to see what everyone is up to these days.
Miss you all!
Front entrance of the zoo. Pretty dolphins made of flowers.
Guangzhou is the city of Rams, and these are the mascots for the Pan Asian games. Cute huh?
Giraffes eating lunch. We were so close to them. Neat!!
My guys!
Scarlett's looking a little nervous next to the panda statue.
Panda... we were really close to it. They are so pretty!!
Hippos kissing. Ava, I think Gloria is on the right and MotoMoto is on the left :-)
Big guy hippo, looking for his 'friend' next door.
HUGE Siberian Tiger. I wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night in the forest.
Pretty decorations
Beautiful flowers. Guangzhou spent over 1 billion dollars on flowers getting ready for the games.
the whole city is very pretty.
