Last Zoo Day!

We went to the zoo one last time before we left Chiang Mai. Aashini wanted to see the Hippos and we hadn't seen them yet :) She really liked the fake ones she could sit on...

But she was amazed at the real ones! haha! She stood there for 20 minutes just staring at the hippos.

They sure are funny looking animals!

There were a lot of young monks at the zoo that day... they liked the hippos a lot too :)

We of course had to feed the elephant one last time....

I think this was Aashini's favorite thing about the zoo :)

She loved feeding that elephant and by this last time she wasn't afraid at all. She thought it was awesome :)

Zoo Fun Again!

We have been to the zoo 3 times now. It's been a fun thing for us to do and Aashini has gotten some fun new experiences. She loves feeding the elephants now (she was pretty scared the first time).

She had no problem just sticking those cucumbers right into it's trunk!

On this zoo trip we went to the seal show. She LOVED it! It think it was one of her favorite things :)

She spent most of the show like this :) She really liked it :)

They had these funny little go-kart things at the zoo... they were really fun :)

Adam with his girls :)

Aashini eating some snacks :)

On this day there weren't many people at the zoo, so we had the animal show almost to ourselves (except for a few other people).

One of the birds took Adam's money :)

Aashini loves pandas :) She hung out with the pandas :)

She even gave them hugs ;)

She ended the day with a little chopstick drumming on bamboo :) what a fun day :) haha!

The Zoo!

We have been having a lot of fun at the zoo :) The Chiang Mai Zoo is a really fun zoo. It's very unique too. It's up on the side of a mountain, so unless you want to really exhaust yourself, you can take the tram around the zoo to the different spots to see the different animals. These are pictures from our first zoo trip :)

Aashini thought the ostriches were funny :)

Aashini got to feed the elephant! She thought it was so fun!!

At first she was scared to feed him....

... and dropped the cucumber before it even got to his trunk :)

She got braver as time went on and had a great time :)

Have you ever seen the back of a zebra before? I didn't realize their backs looked like this - cool hunh?

They had pony rides at the zoo too... Aashini was scared of the pony and grabbed onto the man leading the pony and wouldn't let go :) haha!

Aashini loves panda bears. We went to the special Panda exhibit. This panda was really funny. He sat in his "easy chair" and ate carrots :)

Aashini liked him :)

She tried on this hat at the gift shop :) haha!

Adam took this picture at the Koala exhibit... he said it was a straight picture... what do you think? :)

Diya has been having at great time at the zoo :) She doesn't seem to notice or care about the animals, but she loves being out and about ;)

Here are a couple of pictures from our 2nd zoo day. I didn't take many pictures because we spent most of our time at the aquarium that day and it was super dark inside. If you look at Aashini in that picture you can see the water bottle around her neck. At the first tram stop at the zoo, there is a 7-11. They LOVE 7-11 here - it's funny :) Anyway, we usually stop at the 7-11 and get drinks to take with us. Aashini loves the waterbottles with the straps because she can wear it around her neck and drink whenever she wants :) She thinks it's so cool :)

At the end of the day, they're exhausted :) On this zoo day, Aashini could not stay awake and we had to carry her out :) Go Adam Go!
