Lake Mochou

We had a WONDERFUL field trip today to Lake Mochou. This lake is named after a woman whose singing voice was so beautiful that when she sang, it was impossible to feel sorrowful. The lake is an oasis of beauty and nature in the middle of a bustling city. We strolled around the grounds exploring the many different sights surrounding the lake. We also rented a motor boat and took it out on the lake. The boys all had turns steering and loved that. They also got to take go-cart rides, which was a little scary for me. There was no track, they simply drove around this bricked in area. I was surprised that they could steer so well. We ended our trip by walking over a bridge that claimed to erase all sorrow. Once a person crosses over the bridge, she will never feel sorrow again, only happiness for the rest of her life. Later throughout the day, Zack kept saying to me "I think that bridge really worked. I feel so happy."

I've uploaded several pictures to our flickr account, which you can access by clicking on the above pic. You may be wondering exactly what's going on in that picture above. This man was taking a nap in the pavillion. Petey walked up to him and looked at him for a moment, and then poked him in the forehead. I said "Petey!" right as it occured to him that this was a real person. He thought it was a statue. Lucky for us, he slept right through the poke. It really freaked Petey out that he had poked some random guy. I couldn't stop giggling about it.

That is hilarious! Petey would love the Madame Toussau's Wax Museum. If you ever get to London or New York you have to take him there. Everything looks so real and you can touch it! You can tell him to poke any old thing he wants.

I'm headed over to your Flickr now to check out the rest of your pics.
