Kending Vacation July 4-6, Day 3

 On our last day there, these birds made their appearance for the first time.  Are they ducks?

 Our mornings were filled with feeding fish and watching the swans steal the fish food.
 The swans had a feeder to the right of our house.  It was interesting to watch them.  They would put it in their mouths and then dip their beaks into the water to moisten it.  Some would fall out and as you can see, the fish were right there to clean up the mess.

 I guess there must have been a pecking order because the doves were only allowed to eat after the swans were finished.

 There were three swans that were segregated from the others.  Oh, did they cry when the free swans swam by.

 

One last dip in the pool and we were off.

 We stopped in Kaohshiung on the way home.  They have this new super mall called Dream Mall.  It has a Ferris wheel on the roof....
While we where making our way through the mall, we came arcoss a transformers display.  Jevin liked it... Yes, Jevin liked it.

 Before heading up to the Ferris Wheel area, we made our way to the food court and the kids and I ate at a restaurant called Century 21.  It had whole roasted chicken like you can get at Costco.  The funny thing is that they gave everyone gloves to eat the chicken with.  Nothing like finger food. Jason got some food from the 7-eleven restaurant... Not the 7-eleven store.. Nope.  They have a restaurant devoted to the Open Jung character that the Taiwanese have just gone wild about. 

 We did eventually make it to the roof and on to the Ferris Wheel.  It was a regular amusement park up there.  It was very tailored to children.

 They had all the usual night market games like fishing.  They timed the kids and then weighed their catches to determine what prize they got.

 They had these animals on wheels.  Josie got hers going right away.  Jevin (and Jason) were unsure how to start it.  Jason didn't see the foot pedal and couldn't figure out why Jevin's ride was jerking so much.  It was amusing to watch.

 And there were other amusement rides for us to have some fun with.

 Before heading on our way, we made one last stop at the theater and took a picture of the much awaited cars move.  I think it said it will arrive here some time in August.  Poor kids will have to wait.
