ZOO

I love the zoo!! Watching the bears, monkeys, and other animals and comparing them to people. My favorite was the panda...she was sitting leaned up against a tree and eating cane in the morning and had only moved about 5 feet by late in the afternoon. Sometimes this is how I feel but never get to do!! Some of the other animals were in constant motion which is how I usual am with my 3 yr old who only stops moving when he is sleep. He would fit in well with the monkeys!! In the panda exhibit, we got the feel of China and got more excited about our child to be! In the gift shop, my son bought a stuffed panda and I got a jade hanger of Kwan Yin. Kwan Yin means "One who hears the cries of the world, and comes." The most celebrated goddess in Asia, she is the goddess of mercy or compassion, the protector of children and goddess of fertility. It just seemed appropriate! and it is very pretty!
