Sunday, Sept. 16, 8:45 a.m., Bangkok
Sorry for the late posting last night we tried to post this but didn't realize the computer room closed at 9:00 p.m.
Saturday was spent as a leisurely morning sleeping in, getting our breakfast and playing. We left for the zoo around 10:00 a.m. First we walked a few blocks to the "Skytrain Station". We took the Skytrain to the Victory Monument which was only 6 stops away. From there, we caught a taxi to the zoo. 
At the zoo, Beth and Jack were so excited to see all the animals! Sometimes we would have to drag them away so we could move on to the next exhibit. It seemed that their favorites were the reptiles-especially the turtles.
The zoo was beautiful and well-maintained. It even had a nice playground for the kids. They took to it much easier this time and really enjoyed the slides. Jack seems fearless and Beth is cautious but curious. 
As we started to go toward the elephant house, we glanced outside the zoo grounds toward the Parliamint building and noticed a parade was in progress. We were treated to dancers in traditional costume, and 80 elephants bearing honorees, music and drums. It was all very fascinating, and we found out this morning that this was in honor of his majesty the Kings' birthday!
By the time we were ready to head back out the gate, some of the elephants had arrived back at the zoo gate all decked out in their silk finery. They let us take pictures with some of the "babies" and even pet them!
The weather was hot and humid all day long and we felt like we had been in a sauna. Both kids catnapped in the taxi on the way back but woke-up in time to enjoy the Skytrain agian.
Back in our room, we took cool and refreshing baths and rested on our beds. Everone seemed to really perk up then and so we did some quiet play, dinner and into bed. It was another fun day for the Wofford family!

Mitch I see you had your Duck hat on Saturday.
We won 52-21. And FS scored late so it was worse than the score looks.
Hey Guys,
Looks like God has been watching out for you on this trip. We are so excited for both of you and also for Beth and Jack; and we can not wait to meet them. I hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly.

Well, you guys sound like you are having fun and trials, as with all new parents. Praise the Lord and remember this to shall pass. Everything is fine at home. Calvin knows when I call him he goes the other way, so I told him sooner or later you want to eat the good food and I will get you then. Soo far it has worked out well. Vendela has taken a likeing to the bottom bunk pillow and likes to stay in much more than Calvin. I think your neighbor mowed your front lawn and Ken came and did the back. Can't wait to see you all!!!! Love Julie
