safari

sorry for no post yesterday -- we've been so busy and are having an amazing time hanging with our DTC crew!!  This will be a picture heavy post cause I know that's why you stopped by.  Leggo.....
last night in Jinan -- somehow I missed posting this before.  
 first sip of Coke
 guess she liked it
 1st plane ride
 somebody (ahem...Piper) was a bit upset by her chipping nail polish so we did a touch-up
 Pres shoved her out of the way so she could get a turn
 they get along best in the tub
 I swear this child couldn't get any cuter if she tried

 petting a baby croc



 we've had a few days where I think my kids have turned into baboons
 feeding the monkeys -- 5RMB (less than $1USD) for a bag of raw potatoes & carrots.  The monkey with his hands up caught several that were tossed to him


 sign says "no climbing" - she apparently can't read since that is exactly what she tried to do
 mama & baby






 Safari on wheels -- animals were super close







 worn out from all the excitement


 locals can drive their own vehicle on the safari -- guess this person didn't read the gazillion signs telling you not to feed the animals
 baby zebra - so sweet!



 baby wilder beasts
 they gave Chloe plastic gloves to eat her chicken wings with
 Piper said she's 4 so she gets an ice cream cone
we didn't know tigers were such good swimmers





 white tigers
 feeding tigers - she wasn't thrilled to touch raw meat...10RMB (less than $2USD)

 ignore my goofy face - I was saying "JiaJia" trying to get her to look at the camera
 baby tigers


 bottle feeding the baby white tiger

 baby girl looooooves her some ice cream

Coop's a bit of a celebrity
 feeding the giraffes - 15RMB (just over $2USD)






 playing so well together
 having a great time
 ok, that's enough
 giant pandas

 lesser pandas (red)
