Off to the Zoo!


Landon is sitting on my lap and we are want to fill you in on our day today. We realize we have about the last 3-4 days to catch up on, but we will do that later. Today we had a nice breakfast in our new accommodations, (more on that later too) and headed for the Zoo. This was Landon's first trip to the zoo, he was so fascinated with all the animals. He and Kennedy were able to catch gold fish in little wading pools. This was a highlight for him.. Kennedy really enjoyed an animal circus show. They had a bear and monkey riding bicycles all by themselves, it was a hoot! We will add a few pics from the zoo in a few minutes. Michael and Kennedy are down working out, and Landon and I are feeling a bit creative, but let me tell you the story first. When we were in Dalian, about day 3, (the day Michael was sick in bed) I was exhausted and the boys were full of energy and I was not up to taking them out alone, so I got out the Lego's and let them play in this big window seat that looked out over the city. I was working on something and heard Kennedy singing, then I realized it wasn't Kennedy. Landon was behind the window curtains singing what sounded like opera at the top of his lungs in front of this large window 18 stories up overlooking his home city. It really was a moment. Michael of course woke up and we all had a big belly laugh together. I was able to get a little of it on video, but I can't download it until we get home. He doesn't care to sing for strangers but with us he will belt out at the silliest times, like in the elevator, etc. He just gave me a little sampling and I recorded it on my camera. I will try to download it now.. Enjoy!
