Safari World
















In the middle of a heat wave across China, we decided to go to Safari World today. What a cool place, but it was so hot and humid!! After a while our clothes were so drenched with sweat that it just didn't matter anymore. On the way in, Mike found a huge grasshopper that all the children wanted to hold. Safari World is better than Disney's Animal Kingdom. One section is a zoo, but another section is the Safari Ride. The animals were right there beside you. We saw wildebeasts, camels, tigers, lions, many kinds of deer, rhinos, zebras, and many more animals. During our ride, Mike would tap Sydney and tell her to look at whatever animal he saw. Before too long, Sydney was tapping his arm and saying something that sounded like 'look'. She continued to do that the rest of the day. We got to hold a baby white tiger and pose for a picture. (When you look at that one, remember how hot and humid I said it was!) The girls got to feed the black swans, but Sydney kept eating her bread she was supposed to feed to them. We've had such a fun, full day, but I am so ready for a free day tomorrow. Until then!

Sydney seems to be warming up to you guys now. I hope things are going better. Looks like a lot of fun. I love the picture of her in bed under the covers so sweet
