Naussica

So for a while now we have been thinking about getting a pet and as Ciro and i both love cats it was definitely going to be a cat/ kitten. I follow a site on facebook that does rescues and adoptions in Taichung and someone posted a link with three kittens they had rescued. Turns out they were locked in an abandoned restaurant and they managed to get them out. All three are so cute , quite wild but so cute! The one little one has a damaged foot...perhaps from a trap or something like that..the end of one of her hind paws is gone. We went round to see the kittens and they were a bit freaked out with all of us in the room. Jennifer, the woman who rescued them, had named them and the one she named Gululu was the one that seemed most approachable. Ciro and her had a moment where she wanted to bite his finger and he told her she could ...just like in one of our favourite movies Naussica....so we ended up taking her and renaming her Naussica:)

 
The kids fell in love immediately and she has tamed so quickly. She was already used to using a sandbox (thank you Jennifer) and within two days the kids could carry her and hold her. She purrs like an engine as soon as you pick her up and loves to play. Maya has made me take a picture with her everyday to show her classmates and Dylan drew a picture of her when he had to draw a picture of a land animal:)
This is the picture Jennifer sent me at first. She is about 3/4 months old.



 Happy kids!!!

Ciro's birthday weekend

It was Ciro's birthday on Saturday so we decided to head out to the Formosan Aboriginal village near Sun moon lake. We have not been there for a couple of years. It was a fantastic day. The kids loved the rides. Maya has no fear!!! We went on the cable car ride over to Sun Moon Lake. Stunning views.




At the indoor rides section.
 
On to the mine "log" ride. Maya was just too short to go and cried buckets while Ciro and Dylan went but then they said she could go and Ciro having been already felt it was okay...prof pics will follow. Of course i am usually terrified of those kind of rides and had to go so that both kids had someone with them...why do i have such a brave 3 year old:))


Dylan loves the Japanese characters from One piece so the fact that they have a huge display area etc at teh park made his day!!
 

 

 The cable car ride was another highlight. Once again i had to face a fear:) Ciro proposed to me on a cable car and so with it having just been our tenth wedding anniversary we thought it a fitting place. It was not as bad as i thought it would be though. certainly not the cable car at Hartebeespoort dam.




Ciro got a birthday phone call from his brother Alex while up at the top.

 
 More One piece stuff and the "Caribbean splash" ride. Dylan could go and wanted to go. Maya couldn't go and WANTED to go. I spent the whole time they were on the ride with a little girl crying her heart on and shouting "I want to grow taller now!!!"



 All tired out...hometime!!!


On Sunday it was lunch out and birthday cake.
