Press Play & Enjoy!
And since it's on my mind, have you seen the movie, We Bought A Zoo? I found it to be an inspiring story and very well written! The themes throughout the movie are quite powerful and dynamics between the characters are great...
There's loss and love, joy and sorrow, adventure and new beginnings, hardship and passion, hope and romance. It's all there! And it was easy to relate to the characters as I reflected upon my own life and journey. So if you haven't yet, you need to see this movie.
Here's My Favorite Quote:
“You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane courage.
Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I
promise you, something great will come of it."
And lastly, I wanted to mention that while I was in Singapore, I was able to visit the zoo there. It's considered one of the best zoos in the world and I've gotta say, it was impressive.
The entire zoo is designed in such a way that you don't notice the caging around the animals. Everything is very open. But in some locations, this unique feature can be a bit dangerous... like when you're walking on the bridge above the crocodiles. The railing's there, but it's nothing special. It wouldn't be at all difficult to accidentally fall in with them!
(This is my favorite monkey and yes, I can sound just like them!)

But thankfully, should this happen, there are life-preservers available above. That way, if one gets thrown to you, it will take longer for the crocs to eat you, thus ensuring your chances of survival.
Just make sure they start with feet first, yeah?
So all that to say...
I enjoyed my time at The Kansas City Zoo!
I'll never forget it.

I loved "We Bought A Zoo"!! I watched it on the plane coming home from the honeymoon, and I bawled through the entire thing :( - happy and sad tears.
ReplyDeleteBrandon, you are very missed by us! Chris and I went to the Waffle House in Encino, and thought of you...I hope you are doing well in KC. Please keep us updated on things with you/especially when you're headed for China, if you're still going ;)
Hugs,
Aimee
P.S.
ReplyDeleteWHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE DARK KNIGHT RISES?? Were you disappointed?
Aimee!
ReplyDeleteSorry I never responded!! I miss you guys too ...
And yes, I'm still going to China (because I did, haha). It is going well and I'm having a wonderful time so far. I just made a new blog about it too with some pictures.
And I liked the Dark Knight Rises! It could have been a little better but I liked it overall. I'm assuming you guys didn't? :)
Tell Chris hello, okay?
Take care now,
Brandon
