At 6 months, there is still a lot of the world to discover. Kai experienced fireworks for the first time on Friday night. Awe and amazement cut through his crabby, over-tired whining. Pretty fun to be the parents showing him all these amazing things.
But perhaps the best part of being a parent? Having an inarguable excuse to go do "kid stuff"! We took Kai to Yakiyama Zoo in Sendai on Saturday. It was a very fun (although hot) day! Dan threw together a video to let you all in on the experience.
I had gotten the heads up from our friend Casey that the monkeys receive inequal treatment... the Japanese Snow Monkeys (the ones in the video) had a WAY better facility than the other monkeys (i.e. the sleeping ones)... Hmmmm....
Oh, and Juli, this lemur didn't "like to move, it move it." Maybe because his cage wasn't so cool...
One thing I look forward to in the States: Going to the zoo and not feeling like an exhibit :o) No kidding, Kai got as many looks as the polar bear! People we didn't even TALK to knew his name! Ridiculous! Oh well... this too shall pass.
And, here's one last look at that AWESOME ice cream truck door. Cracks me up every time!

Awesome video! I was missing Miyagi and that helped take the edge of a bit.
I wouldn't be surprised if the zoo had asked if you could donate Kai. They could have the "Kawaii North American Gaijin" exhibit next to the prairie dogs.
