Bali Bird Park

Our driver, Agung, drove us to the Bali Bird Park yesterday morning.  When we got there, there were parrots in the trees--not in cages.  We got our tickets and went into the bird park.  In the park it was nice and cool so we had no trouble getting around.  We started looking at the birds and found that some birds were in cages and some were not.  We then came upon some workers who had a lot of birds on their arms.  The workers asked us if we would like to hold the birds.  Daniel, Edward and I all said "YES" and hurried over.  The workers put the birds on our arms and heads and Mom took a bunch of photos.  When we were done with that we kept on looking for birds.  We saw birds from all around the world, but especially from Bali and Indonesia.  We wandered off around the park and then came to the largest and most dangerous reptile:  THE KOMODO DRAGON!  We took lots of pictures and videos of the dragon and then set off for lunch.  For lunch I had Nasi Goreng with watermelon juice.  It was delicious!  I wish they had Nasi Goreng in the school cafeteria!  After lunch we kept wandering around the park.  Dad got our little cameras out of his backpack and we took pictures of all the different birds.  We came back to the Komodo Dragon and Daniel, Edward and I all took pictures of it.  Just before we left the park we came across a worker who had some fish that she was feeding to pelicans.  She said that we could help her and we threw the dead fish into the water for the pelicans.  When I threw the fish toward the water the pelicans would sometimes grab the fish in mid-air!  Then it was time to go.  The Bali Bird Park was really fun!

Bali Weather

The weather here in Bali is very hot.  It is around 88F every day.  We go swimming in the pool and drink lots of cold juice to keep cool.  My favorite juices are banana or watermelon.  It poured the other night while I was sleeping but I was so tired that I didn't even hear it.  Last night we ate dinner on the beach.  It started to sprinkle but luckily it stopped right away.  I kind of miss the snow in Rockport but the warm weather here is also fun!

Downtown Ubud

We are down town in Ubud. We walked from our villa and it was super hot out. Right now we are at a restaurant drinking cold smoothies.

Chinatown

This morning we took the subway to Chinatown in Singapore.  We went to dim sum at YumCha Restaurant.  My favorite dim sum was the vegetarian spring roll.  When we were heading back to the subway we saw a table full of coconuts.  We ordered 3 coconuts and drank the coconut water with a straw.  It was awesome!!!!!  It tasted like sweet, cold water which is great because it is so hot here.

At the airport

We are now at the airport waiting to board. When we went through security I beeped because I was holding the life savers grandma gave us. I really miss all my friends and wish I was in school.

4 Days To Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Only 4 days to go until we get on the air plane.  I can't wait 'till I see mom again and I mean see in real life, not on skype.  When I think about mom I start to think about what a great time we will have in Malaysia and Bali.   

2 weeks to go

Mommy left on Monday for her business trip.  The next time we see her we will be in Singapore.  We have all of the suitcases packed, we just need to pack our carry-on bags before we leave.  My neighbor Cliff has agreed to watch our chickens while we are away.  I am getting very excited to go.
