So today was zoo day and it was GREAT! Hope and Noah both loved it. We took a golf cart around the zoo first and it was cool and nice. Hope loves riding. We stopped at the Panda’s and Big Cats to get out to film then when we finished the golf cart tour we had an hour to burn so we went to see the monkeys…big shock there huh? It was a good day, here are some of our favorite shots. The Big Cats were amazing in that a female lion started to roar and then a big male chimed in and then another couple females joined. It was amazing and loud! I have it on video but I won’t bore you with it.
I must say the black leopard was one of my favorities, followed by the chimpanzees. The Asian elephant was much bigger than I thought it would be and I have never seen a 2-humper camel before. So it was a wild kingdom sort of day. Now we are in naptime and swim time. We will likely ring up some friends for dinner, I’d like to try Italian tonight…we shall see. Tomorrow we have the day off and we go to a night time dinner cruise on the river that is supposed to be wonderful. Then Wednesday is our consulate appointment and shopping on Shaiman Island. Thursday we pack up and leave at 4:30 pm via van with another family and head for Hong Kong. Friday at 11:00 am we fly home!!!!!!!! I’ll keep you posted. Hope is doing great today. Her lip is much better with the coconut oil we believe and things are good. Keep praying please! Blessings dear ones!
How cool is it that you have now seen African & Asian elephants on their home continents? And the pandas! I heart them.
ReplyDeleteBut the best part of this post is at the end, "things are good." :)
This entire experience is just too amazing. What a grand life Hope is having already. Same goes for all of you, actually! I am so bummed that we aren't going to be able to come to meet y'all at the airport. Frank's brother is flying in Wednesday, and we are all going to the lake (driving back Sunday, though, for Victor's last Sunday). I love reading every single little detail you tell us about. Thank you so much for writing this blog. What a treasure to know y'all and get to vicariously experience this! So glad everything's going well. Lord bless y'all! ~Brandi
ReplyDeleteJust to tell you what kind of friend I am, out of that whole post, the thing that made me laugh was "2-humper camel"...which seems somehow slightly DIFFERENT than a "2-hump camel"! :D
ReplyDeleteOh, and for as much as Jane LOVES pandas (as you know), the photos she commented on most were the ones of Noah and Hope. SO sweet.
