Archie had fun on his first zoo adventure today. He ran around pointing to animals and calling them all the Chinese word for horse "ma". (Well, he called a few of the smaller ones the word for dog or cat.) What's the difference between an elephant and a horse after all?
Real elephants
Fake elephants. (Archie loved this little play area.)
Two of Archie's favorite zoo activities: eating
cantaloupe and napping
As much fun as Hunt and I had embarking on this incredible adventure with our young son, we both noted his sleeping time was one of our most relaxing times of the day!
I had my camera set to way overexpose today so my animal pics aren't remarkable. This is a wombat. Whenever Archie doesn't want to do something and throws a fit, Hunt and I always say, "He's fighting like a rabid wombat." I wasn't really sure what a wombat was before today, but this little guy didn't look too fierce.
One thing I love about the Bangkok zoo is the
skywalks. You can get right on level with the giraffe's head or the monkeys swinging through the trees. There was a baby monkey today. SO CUTE!!!
As long as Grace continues to live inside, we have many more exciting adventures planned. Sunday after church we want to take Archie to the aquarium. Monday we need to go to the hospital to check on Grace and let the pediatrician do some follow up with Archie. (He might have a "pre-asthma" condition, but we're not sure yet.) At some point, we also want to take him to this really cool park where giant monitor lizards (much bigger than Archie) roam free!
