the one with the safari park

today was a really fun day!  we went to the safari park here in guangzhou.  it has a train that takes you through this area where a lot of the animals roam free and some more dangerous ones are in enclosures but you drive really close.  they were feeding many of them and it was very cool.

so each picture is taking a half hour to upload so I won't put any more on right now.

we saw a cool tiger show where they hung meat over the cage on lines and the tigers follow it.  they could hang it over the water and the tigers would jump into the water.  it was neat because the water was right infront of the glass. so the tigers jump right at you :)

of course we saw giant pandas!  that was sarah's favorite so we had a hard time pulling her away.  normally I don't like the idea of bribing kids to get them to do something.  it's manipulative and so we teach them to obey.  but sarah dis likes me so much (I actually had a rough day with her.  she would let me nowhere near her. in that picture above she had first tried to climb back to brendan's seat, but we made her sit with me and  then when she realized I was in the picture with her she got mad ) but I thought maybe if I bought her a panda she would at least tolerate me.  it worked for like 10 minutes!  she loves this bear!  and she helped my hand and we went on a carousel ride together...then it was back to brendan and megan.

i am hurting.  my heart is so broken.  I feel so confused and sad and I am not sure what we are doing. I know this takes time...but it still hurts so much along the way.

I will try to post more pictures later.
