Safari!!!

We had such a great day.  Little Miss Priss woke up in quite a mood this morning.  She was not a happy camper.  In her sleep last night, we heard her saying, "Mama, MMMMama, Mama...."  It was a precious sound!!

Michael did something today and I said, "Oh, Daddy!"  Naeleigh copied me in her almost Southern accent, "Oh, Daddy!"

After we arrived at the Safari park, she cheered up.  Michael took most of the pictures today.  Naeleigh was all smiles!!!!

This picture of the baby elephant is for you, Moma!  Adorable!!!

There was no way I was coming to China and not riding an elephant.  Not many people in our group did it but I could not resist!  

Naeleigh is playing peek-a-boo with Michael in the stroller.  We had to rent a stroller from the hotel.  We have been using the baby carrier and holding her.  But today was such a long day and it was so hot and humid.  Naeleigh took a nice nap in her stroller.  She did not know what to make of it at first but she quickly adjusted.  Mommy still ended up holding her a lot. 

This was taken at the White Tiger show this afternoon.  Naeleigh loved it.  She clapped and jumped the whole show.  She copied the crowd when they cheered.  We were so glad she had a good time.  

This is Michael playing tug of war with a white tiger.  They chose two girls from the crowd to try it first.  When they couldn't do it, several people (including me) pointed to Michael to try as the third person.  So, Michael and two other Chinese girls beat the tiger!  It was hilarious to watch.  He won a mini plush white tiger key chain, which Naeleigh gladly accepted.

These are more pictures of her beautiful smile.

Daddy is getting some sugars from his baby girl.

This sign cracked us up.  There were more mistranslated signs but this was my favorite.

This Safari was so amazing.  There were tons of animals.  More animals than any zoo we've ever seen.  The Orangutans were hanging right above our heads.  The zoo keeper was holding hands and kissing one of them.  

They have a lot of Koalas too.  I love Koalas but I never get to see them awake because they sleep so much.  Michael took lots of pictures for me.

We have Naeleigh's appointment at the Consulate tomorrow and our oath ceremony.  We are going on a River Cruise tomorrow night and then preparing to fly home on Thursday.  Can't wait to be in the USA!
