This morning we went to a zoo. It was interesting to see the variety of animals there. They especially had a lot of different monkeys. Some of the cages were kind of sad for the animals - they looked very bored. But then there were some beautiful spacious areas for other animals to roam. Joel got to sit on a pony, and I got to hold a HUGE snake! Josiah LOVED, LOVED, LOVED pointing out and "talking" about every single animal. He was great at spotting the animals that were even a little hidden. Apparently his eye sight is just fine. We aren't really sure about his hearing yet, or if he just has "selective hearing." He actually is doing better every day with his behavior. He doesn't get upset quite as easily when things don't go exactly his way. Joel and him are getting along great. Joel is very patient with Josiah, and they just love playing together. Josiah thinks Joel is the funniest kid in the world, I think. Joel is having a great time being silly with our guide, Elvin. Elvin is just about the best guide we have ever had. He really goes above and beyond what he has to do and seems to really enjoy his job.
Tomorrow is pretty much a free day. We will be sad to say goodbye to the other families that are in our travel group. They have been a fun group to be with, and we all seemed to really click.
Hannah and Olivia, just a few more days until we get to see you!!! We are so excited to give you both a huge hug, and we are so excited for you to meet Josiah. You are going to love him!

Of course April held a huge snake! I was so freaked, yet not surprised by that picture. We are counting down the days to meet Josiah in person. The kids look forward to your updates and pictures everyday!
