Our 'zoo' a Sunday outing

2.27.2011
Okay, so it really is not a zoo and does not claim to be so, it is more like a park for tourists to go through and see some local minority dancing, an amazing tree garden, peacocks wandering around, and some cages with monkeys in them. Weird monkeys, they make some weird noises.

But we love going here because there really is variety: play grounds, a lake with lots of fish, lots of bamboo, monkeys, an old airplane/jet, and pretty scenery. They just built a huge stage and tried to create the 'atmosphere' of some of the local minorities.

We go here simply to play. The girls love it.


Ever since our friend got a huge scratch for feeding these birds M&Ms we steer clear. Peacocks are an interesting species....


Bella went down the slide numerous times.


This was all just recently built in the middle of this park.


Some ladies wandering through, all dressed up.


the men, also in minority dress, admire (wonder at) the monkeys


these ladies kept trying to grab Sophia to take a picture, she was having none of it. They switched to Bella. I took a picture of them taking a pic of Bella, and bit my tongue when they kept telling me how pretty foreign babies were. I just muttered thank you.


Sophia is telling me what the monkeys do and look like when their cracker is all gone and they want more.


we named this monkey Sophia, and she thought it was hilarious. He is actually sucking his toe.


making time for exercise


this bamboo is quite beautiful, and on windy days, makes some awesome music


She can do pull ups! (just kidding)
