A Greater Hope Orphanage: July 2012

To the Zoo

Just some quick pictures of our trip to the zoo; I guess its last month now.
We had another orphanage come out for the morning to play and hang out.
After lunch we all drove to the zoo for the rest of the day.

We had two cameras donated to us recently that are for the kids to use. So the next few photos below were taken by the children.

Other pictures I took at the zoo.

Got to love these home made bee bee guns and cross bows.
It's funny Cambodia gun (U.N.) laws outlaw these weapons and pretty much any propelled object designed for hunting or protecting yourself.

One of our kids lost his snacks in the petting part of the zoo.

Pretty cool, there are two white deer at the zoo now

The bear exhibit has a new play area.

It took some convincing to get Joe on the spider

I called this the sitting tree. We could probably sit the entire orphanage in its wrangled branches.

Just as it started to rain we got to see the baby elephant. I was surprised to see it had such long tusk, you'd figure they'd get them when they grew up a bit.

I am always fascinated by the bugs I find here. I have a few more photos of crazy, cool bugs I still need to down load for next posting.

Birthday and Holiday

Last birthday we spent at the lake, was a little different and a lot of fun.

We had a holiday recently. The girls playing kitchen, the Legos are a delicacy.

A couple of the kids weren't able to go home for the last holiday so they came with Ream and I for a day of fun in the city, along with all my nieces and nephews.
