ZIPPITY ZOO DA

The Detroit Zoo through the eyes of an eight year old haitian child is an awesome sight.
We saw Lions, and Tigers and Bears.....(oh my) and then some. We got to play prairie dog and pop up in the tunnel. Watching a baby polar bear swin over the top of you is very exciting and cute. We were thrilled to see him jump in and swim but even more so when we watched him from under the water.
Gorillas eating snow was very funny. The Mama and baby zebra were adorable, frisky and playful. The giraffes were huge (and stinky) and beautiful. The Kangaroos were very lazy, resting on their sides in the sun. The Rhinos were active enough to be interesting. The butterflies were plentiful, but wouldn't come and sit on your hand.
A canan is a canadian goose. We saw a bunch of those. They apparently have those in haiti.
We got lost coming home. Our two hour trip took 3 1/2 hours. Lots of beautiful lakes in Michigan. Most of them were still frozen over. Still the day was sunny and the roads were clear.
We finished the evening with a Selah concert. Beautiful music. Although very tired, she did well.
We are down to less than three weeks until our return to haiti. Johane is very excited about returning home. She is less excited about ME returning to the US after returning her home.
We are starting to pack things up and do our "last things". That is why we went to the zoo on Saturday. It was a now or never time. I am so glad we did. What a special memory for this special lady.
We got to call Haiti and talk with the family on Sunday. Johane was talking with papa, mama, Johana and family. She kept forgetting and speaking english to them. Each time she did I laughed and repeated what she said... then she caught herself and corrected her own usage of english. It was so funny.
Keep us in your prayers as we play out the last chapters of this God story. God is still in control and we're enjoying the ride. God bless. Cynthia and Johane
