09/16 Safari Zoo

After breakfast this morning we went shopping with G on "shopping street" to look once more for the "heelies" that big sister wants. We have looked and asked everywhere we have been with no luck. We thought we would try one more time... G wanted to purchase them for big sister because her birthday is soon. We went to several stores but found nothing. Then we went into a department store and up an escalator to the children's department... we found them!! I was so surprised, I had given up hope. They had her size... we bought one for Esther as well and the H girls had asked us to bring some back for them so we bought 4 pairs total. They were about $12.00 instead of $50 or $60. They were so excited.
At 1:00 we all met in the lobby with Connie and she took us to a Safari Zoo about 45 minutes away. Half the park you ride on a train to see the animals, the other half you walk through the park. It was beautiful!! There were so many more animals at this zoo than any park I have ever seen. Dozen and dozen of everything, even the more exotic animals. There were also Pandas! About 4 or 5 of them. We were very excited about that. The Koalas were extremely cute. We had a wonderful time but boy was it hot!
We got back to the Victory at dinner time. Half the families wanted to order in pizza from Papa John's believe it or not! The other half wanted to go with G to get Chinese food. We figured we can get pizza anytime... we had another wonderful experience with Chinese food. G ordered of course so we had no idea what was coming next... the favorite was bamboo leaves. Esther wanted more... Gabriel wanted more... everyone wanted more... so G ordered another plate.
We walked back to the Victory and G joined us in our room to watch a little TV until bedtime.
