On Saturday we walked up to the Meridian International Center to the First Annual International Children's Festival. Unfortunately they made us take the kids back home with us. Was a good day put on by around 16 Embassies, including Australia's. All the kids got a helium balloon with a map of the world on it when they came in. Each country then put a star sticker on the balloon as the kids 'visited' each country. Liechtenstein's star probably took out most of central Europe! Lots of activities and the kids brought home lots of pages to colour in.
After much discussion on Sunday, the kids got their way which was to show me around the zoo. Think it was just a ploy to go watch the stingrays again. Baby panda was great to see, he can put away bamboo! Was watching him on the web cam (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/Animals/GiantPandas/) before we went and he didn't see to have moved all day, other than reaching for another stick of bamboo. Had enough of walking around by the time we left. Oh, and the catering guys at the zoo need to understand that a plastic container full of lettuce, a light sprinkling of cheese (if you look hard), a sachet of dressing and five pieces of chicken is NOT a Caesar salad and is NOT worth $6. Even Maccas does this better ...
