Day 11 - Safari Park

Today we had an opportunity to visit the Guangzhou Safari Park.  We went on a fabulous Safari tour where we saw animals of so many species they are too numerous to list.  It was really fantastic and the kids enjoyed it very much.  After the Safari ride we were able to see the white tiger show, feed the giraffes, visit the 12 pandas, and see exhibits of chimps, koalas, meerkats, lemurs, owls, parrots, hippos, and many more.  It would have taken the entire day to see all the exhibits but we only had a half day to spend at the park.After Esme's afternoon nap we went for another swim in the pool, this time Esme sat and played on the first step of the pool unafraid of the water.  Mel is happy to think Esme will enjoy her swim lessons when we return home.  Our little girl continues to adapt to her new family.  The kids were singing songs to her today in the car and she was very happy to "sing" along.  It was very adorable.  She likes to babble, especially when it comes to food she sees and wants to eat.  She loves to venture out and is the first at the door when we are ready to leave.  She has a cute little smile with a sweet freckle in the corner of her mouth.  Her head bobs and nods communicate much of what she is thinking and wants.  Although we don't speak the same language using words we understand each other very well.
