We love the zoo!!


We love the zoo by our house and go every couple of weeks. Vivi's all-time, hands-down favorite animal is the "fa-fa" (derived from jirafa, Spanish for giraffe), and Tonito likes both the monkeys and lions. Dolphins are also a must-see whenever we go. This year they have a cool hands-on exhibit with sting-ray and little sharks which the kids really enjoyed. I wonder what Tonito thinks of all of this? We points and shrieks and talks so fast we don't know if he's speaking English or Chinese :). I'm sure he's never seen live animals up-close before... we've read books with animals but I wodner if he associates 2D pictures with these huge beasts. Whatever he's thinking, he always has a good time and runs from one animal to the next. These kids are having too much fun this summer!

These next pictures are from our trip to meet some CHI families that travelled with us to China!





Here is yet another trip to the zoo, with some of my high school friends:). Our kids are all around the same age, which is very fun!!! Tonito and Vivi were in heaven because they each got to hold hands with a "big kid."
