Today we took a trip to the zoo. I've also included some shots of Maddy that we took trying to capture a smile. She smiles alot, but always stops when we bring out the camera!

Maddy--I logged on this morning and you weren't there! I was so diappointed! I have become very addicted to my morning "fix" of the Hieser family photos! You had a very busy day, thank you for sharing. - Wima & Kyle, Fri, 6 Aug 2004 7:08AM
1 We ate at Lucy's a couple of nights. They serve Western food like burgers and chicken strips, plus Chinese food, too.
2 Here's Madison playing with Chris. We were trying really hard to get her to smile for the camera.
3 Here's a silly face. She also likes to give the raspberries and making a clucking noise with her tongue. Everybody laughs when she does it because it's really loud.
4 As I said before, she really loves her stacking cups. She doesn't know how to stack them yet, but we're working on it.
5 This is just another shot where we were trying to get her to smile, but I like that it shows the side of her face to help you see more of what she looks like. "I love this picture of Mad..." View Comments...
6 Playing on the beds is great fun. There isn't much else to do in a hotel room!
7 Mom's shaking up the bottle and Maddy's getting excited.
8 Hoping to get a smile out of her since she gets really happy when it's time to eat!

16 This zoo was very cheap to get in to, only 20 yuan per person (about $2.50). In the more expensive zoos, the pandas have nicer accommodations.
