Yuku fun at the start of vacation

Chinese New Year this week so we have some time off..finally!! Went to Yuku play space this morning..have not been there for ages!!























Was my mom's birthday last Wednesday..Dylan made her a play doh cake...she couldn't skype so only got to hear about it on the phone... here is the cake that he made mom :))



E-zoo and the horse ....

We have been meaning to check out e-zoo in Houli for a while so finally got out there last weekend. It is kind of a petting zoo. You get a container of food for the animals as you go in and then you exchange a container for one of the photo ops/pony rides...so a family fun place.
As you walk in they put parrots all over you ... a little too much for Maya...she liked the birds from a distance.






Dylan loved the snakes ...huge things , at one point the one nearly climbed out to say hello...hmm..i was standing a little bit further back :)





And of course NT$10 rides are everywhere....





Maya the keeper of the pots....



The kids loved their ride on this contraption..the guy was super nice to them and later took them each for a run on the diggers...great acrobatics on the diggers..never realised they could move in so many ways.









Dylan must have been on there for at least 5 minutes...








Maya loved it too..





Finally the much anticipated pony rides...







And this is the picture that tells a big story.. You can see the big black horse to the right..I had just stepped out of shot..the black horse came too close to the pony. The pony kicked back and kicked the horse. It reared up. As the pony kicked back..Maya flew off and landed on her stomach and face on one of the wood sleepers just out of shot (2 pics up you can see them). She was screaming and initially we were not sure if she had hit her head. In the end we took her to an ER and they checked her out...all okay...she walked away with a bit of skin off her lip and that was all...phew!! Gave us a scare but she is really brave and left very concerned about whether the horse got owie!!

The lip just after..

Maya's birthday part 2

Long overdue post....Maya took a cake to school on her actual birthday and had a party with her classmates.










Then later we went to the department store after work for her favourite soup and to do some shopping for her doll:)
