Su's Spring Break Part 1

Hi guys Su's here:)

I'm sorry for posting late.
My spring break was kinda boring but I got to spend time with my friends, so that part was fun! 

March 14- March 17
I had a sleepover with my friend, Jin-Ju.

In the morning Jin-Ju's host father gave me a cup of cinamon apple tea.

and also he gave me a xylitol sugar which is good for health and sweet:)

Anyway it was really good tea.

And I love the pot

Jin-ju and I made muffins and a brownie for sitting around the campfire. For Jin-ju, it was her first baking.
Because we thought there was not enough chocolate in the muffins, we put more chocolate on the top of muffins. The shape reminded us of aliens.

Before we went to the campfire, we watched the play of Jin-ju's host sister, Noel.

She was an amazing actress. I love her expression :)

I hope she will continue to act.

On Saturday evening we had a campfire.
Mr.Steven told us a few stories about his Japanese friends.
We put marshmallow inside of crackers and added chocolate (S'mores).
It was delicious!


Mr.Steven told us that we can be friends with each other no matter the age difference.
It was impressed talking.

Jin-ju put golden color nail polish on my nail that night.

On Sunday we rode bikes.

Near Jin-Ju's house there was flat rode that made it easy to ride the bike.

The weather was gorgeous on Sunday:)

Until here it was exciting sleepover with Jin-Ju :) 
 Bye, 
Sukyong

St. Louis Zoo

Hi Everybody, 
   I know spring break is over, but I hope you had a good one! :) For my spring break I went to St.Louis, and we decided to check out the zoo while we were there (which I'm glad we did). First off the zoo is Free! The fee is paid for by taxes.

 

   The picture you see above is of the little train in the St.Louis zoo, that takes you around! For the train, you do need to buy tickets, but I would definitely recommend buying them. 1) Because the zoo is really big and it is easier to get around with the train 2) Because it is really fun! The train takes you through tunnels and past water features.  

   The day we went was really great because it was very sunny and all the animals were out! At my hometown zoo you are hard pressed to see the bigger, more exotic animals such as lions and tigers. I only got shots of the male lion, the female was hiding.

Tigers!   

 

After we saw the tigers, we went over to the zebras. The last time I went to the St.Louis Zoo (which was about four years ago) a boy about eight years old climbed into the zebra exhibit. Thankfully his mother got him out before the zebras even noticed him. Anyway, I have a nice picture of a zebra butt for you. 

 

Next we saw the leopards. There was a baby and a Mama, so cute! 

 We walked away from the exhibit for awhile and I look back and the baby was nursing! I tried to get a video of it, but they were already done. But the video is still cute! Here it is:  

Next we saw a snow leopard on it's back:  

 

  

Here is a camel, I think there really cool. I'm mean what are those humps for? And where did they get them? Hang on a sec. I'm going to go look it up....Okay, I'm back. Looks like the camels humps are to store fat. And they get energy from it when there is not enough food or water around. If you want to know more check out this website, that is where I got my info. http://www.worldstory.net/en/camel.html 

 

While we were at the camel exhibit we heard some kid making the weirdest noises. When we looked around we saw it was a donkey!

  

After that we saw a giraffe nursing. Did you know giraffe's have purple tongues?  

When we went into the bird exhibit i saw one of the prettiest birds I have ever seen. A Golden Pheasant! 

Do you see the green and orange tiger stripes on it? So cool! 

Then we saw Wattled Cranes, I was really excited because Sukyong, Mia, and I had been making origami cranes (expect a post on that coming up!)

  

 

  

Chimpanzees! They look so wise! And resemble humans so much, especially with how they act and their facial expressions! 

So that's it because the zoo was starting to close. But we had so much fun! For more information on the St.Louis Zoo check out their website: http://www.stlzoo.org/ 

  

Thanks for checking out our blog! Blogging has been so much fun for Sukyong and I!
