SAFARI PARK


Well it's happened, we are all ready to go home. Living in a hotel room and eating out every day has gotten to us.

We started the morning early with the breakfast buffet, Steve is still not feeling quite himself yet and didn't eat much.

We met other families in the lobby for the 45 minute ride to the Safari. When we arrived it looked like it was a popular day for the school kids. There were about ten different groups of kids. Since we arrived early we were able to get the passes to see the triplet panda babies.

They were born on 8/12/14 and are just over three months old. We started with a train ride through the safari. Again we are amazed by the selection of animals that they have. So many animals of each breed. Hope loved pointing at all the animals. After the safari we walked through the dinosaur exhibit. Several of the areas were new from our visit five years ago. They also added a snake and horse exhibit. The kids really enjoyed getting to see the triplet panda bears. The kids also got to ride a few rides in the children's area.

We returned back to the hotel early and we were exhausted. We took a short break and decided to head out for an early dinner so we could get to bed for our early Consulate appointment in the morning. We ate at a great middle eastern restaurant. Hope continues to be a good eater, eating more than her brothers at some meals.

Tomorrow we will have our Consulate appointment and then the Pearl River Cruise at night.

Four more full days! We miss everyone and can't wait for you all to meet Hope!
