Taipei Botanical Garden

Last Saturday Craig was taken for a walk at the Taipei Botanical Garden. He was very happy to have the chance to get out of the flat because he'd been stuck inside due to rainy weather for the past few weekends. The group included Craig's Cousin Soit-Jade and her little sister Yu-chi.

The three little people had been told there would be squirrels but the furry little fellas seemed to be hiding from the heat. Instead, the children spent their time looking at waterbirds of unknown name and fish.

Craig was a bit naughty and picked up some stones to throw which Craig's Cousin Yu-chi quickly copied.

A quick stop to have a drink was a welcome respite from the constant walking. Craig needed to put some water in because he'd been sweating plenty while running around like a mad thing and giggling whenever his Dad asked him to stop and come back.

Finally, a lone squirrel appeared at the same place where the kids had been looking at the fish earlier.

The squirrel was very fast-moving and extremely good at taking little pieces of food from people's hands without giving them the opportunity to touch.


Of course the children tried the odd dangerous strategy to get closer to the cute little animal so Soit-Jade's Mum (aka Yu-fang) had to be on guard!
