Our adventure to the Chimelong Safari Park was fabulous. Since our travel group all wanted to go Jocelyn arranged for a van and accompanied us to the Safari Park. We are so grateful because she guided us throughout the park allowing us to see all the scheduled events. I couldn't imagine navigating our way back with two exhausted little ones, who ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and a apple before falling sound asleep in the van. Lila's favorites were feeding the giraffes, watching the tigers be fed and the koala bear. Tess' liked the koala, the Safari On Wheels ride, and the monkey. She did not like the men riding the elephants or feeding the giraffe. In the evening, we walked to dinner at Honey Go. It was very busy on the streets, which Tess loves. When I was at the orphanage I made a comment about her love of the busy streets. They told us they took the children for a walk in the neighborhood streets once a week. We found the Lohas Cake, yummy! Tess has become quite a chatter box. Her personality is coming through each day, her facial expressions, talking, and she stops and dances when she walks.
