The Signs at Mysore Zoo

We went to the Mysore Zoo on our trip this weekend. While we did have a lot of pictures taken of us, I took more myself this time. I took pictures of all of the funny signs there.
One of the giraffes had really dark markings.
Bloated monkeys, Indian English, typos and graphic images - sit back and enjoy the hilariousness of the signs at the Mysore Zoo. (Click to enlarge)

Haircut Craft (Scissor Practice)

Saw this fun haircut craft on Jen Spends today and immediately tried it out with Maggie. Obviously we still need more scissor practice, but she had fun. Dalton occupied himself by tearing apart crepe paper.

Flag Waving

Maggie set up this bed for Dalton and he got in it. Not sure what the frisbee is for.
I took the kids to see Kung Fu Panda 2 (since Winnie-the-Pooh didn't last 2 weeks in the cinema here). Maggie was ready to go 1/2 hour early and walked around like this waiting.
Dalton's new favorite pastime is to roll down the window and wave to people. Our windows are very tinted, so normally people don't notice us in the car. But with the window down, he attracts just as much or more attention as when we are walking. He makes friends with
lots of bus riders, motorcyclists and auto drivers.We found a men's ethnic wear shop selling specialty items for Independence Day next week. We bought it all, including a white kurta set for Dalton, and an extra free souvenir for Kyli.

Bangkok: Lumpini Park and Everything Else

More Bangkok. Dalton on his 12th smoothie sample.
Maggie and John in the pool.
The food court was so big, pictures don't even do it justice. I'll just say this - they have TWO McDonald's.
Dead chicken stickers hanging in the window. All that junk is the night market.
Tuk-Tuk.
Hot Pink Taxis.
Pumpkin pie in August? This was the most delicious pumpkin pie I've ever had. Maggie only ate a little, so I finished it for her.
Lumphini Park. Hot and rainy.
At the airport.
Entertaining Dalton with a quick drawing of a road.
