A Few Random Things


This is Ellen, her husband, and 20 month old son. They came to visit us and the Burnett's during the holiday time. It was so fun to have a toddler running around. He knows how to count to 5 in English, and knows some nursery rhymes. Ellen recorded me doing some she didn't know so she could play them and teach her son - fun times!

 


 
 
A trip to the dentist for a cleaning - yup took all three - must floss better - hahaha just kidding. The lady on the far right is the dentist, then left is the hygienist, then the assistant. Very clean office and a very nice job done.


Say 'ah' Jack - anybody spot what is missing from this picture?
 
Zoom in on this one - I hope my dentist doesn't paint his fingernails!  He does love to pull teeth though - Hey look, those are the teeth he treatment planned for me to have extracted! Nope - not a chance!
 
 
We went to the movies! We saw Hunger Games 3 in 3D. They serve kettle corn here. Any guesses on how much a large popcorn and two sodas were?.....
 Answer to above question - 25 RMB or $4.16 USD - much more reasonable I'd say!
 
This is a Chinese dryer.
 
This is a Chinese dryer delivered to my apartment!! Yeah!

 
This is an air filter fan - brand new - watch for a few weeks down the road - It is already working and I am not surprised that only after a few days it is turning dark. There seems to be a layer of pollution on everything inside. 

A trip to the zoo - cute cuddly looking Pandas - snoozing of course
 
Monkeys - they like monkeys, there are several different species here  


A huge statue on a huge platform

 
 
Dad and kids playing tag under the statue

More monkeys - mom and baby cuddled up taking a nap in the sunshine


Hello hippo!
What I couldn't bring myself to take a picture of were two Seagulls in a cage in the aviary part. Nope, couldn't do it. I would rather have them flying around Ivar's eating my french-fries than cooped up in a cage... Interesting animal to have in a zoo though....
