Panda Cub

Remember how last week we went to the Chiang Mai zoo? And we have pictures with a female panda? Well, suprise suprise, she had a cub today!!! The zoo keepers didn't even know she was pregnant!! Click the link below to read the article and watch a video of the panda and her cub!!

And here's the picture of Robbie and I with the panda:

We just think it's so cool that we were just there and saw that panda, and now she's had this cub!! We're going to have to go back and see them.



In other animal news, a group of us were hanging out at a restaurant on Tuesday night, and a baby elephant walked by. Yup, it was just walking down a main street of the second largest city in Thailand. And then, today, a HUGE elephant was walking down the street with a (in Robbie's words) Samuri warrior atop him.


School has been going very well lately. We have been introducing a lot of new vocab which keeps the kids interested. We've also been playing lots of games and thus, been having lots of fun. We'll write more next week, after our extreme trek!!

LOVE
Maggie and Robbie
