We went to the Safari Park today which is pretty cool. They let you get MUCH CLOSER to the animals than any zoo back in the States. We got to throw raw chicken meat to White Tigers, Darlene was in 7th Heaven as they had many Giant Pandas of which you could get pretty close to. Made for some tired girls. Kaia went on Kiddie Rides, a first for her. She almost broke her face from smiling so much. It made me, a grown man, want to cry to think such a simple thing makes her so incredibly happy. Just wait until she gets home.
We tried the Chinese/Thai restaurant down the street. Interesting, since the wait staff speaks no English, you just point to pictures and hope for the best. I had a rice dish with a lot of tentacles in it. Kaia eats like every meal is her last which is sad. She will eat so fast and so much that she will vomit at times. We have even found food in her sweater pockets. We are really liking her little personality. We can't wait to see how she reacts to her new home, bedroom, etc.
Only a couple more days!

Tim, Darlene, Hannah & Kaia, I finally found your blogsite and it is totally amazing! What a tender story...it truly warms my heart. Kaia is one of two of the luckiest little girls in the world (the other being Hannah) becoming the fourth member of the magnificent Metz clan! ...and you and Darlene are lucky too, to have found two such precious little girls. I know how much you treasure them. Thank you for taking the time to share the details of the joyful journey with those of us here at home that love you. Wendy Layton
Reading your blog is such a touching experience for me. Our son is waiting for us at GSWI - where Kaia is from. Just learning about her eating habits makes me wonder if our son will be the same with his food.
Thank you for being so candid with your experiences and your trip. You are certainly very blessed to have these two wonderful children... as they are to have you.
