Hooray for Eccentric Chinese Guys

Back in February we drove out to to visit the Forbidden Gardens with Derrick's brother and family. We had a great time exploring even though Zach started asking to go to a "new zoo" partway through. It was a pretty impressive and quirky place designed and paid for by the eccentric and elusive Mr. Poon. For anyone interested in knowing more detailed information about the place you can click here or here.

Zach had to restrain all Godzilla-like urges.


There were plenty of pebbles outside the city that got thrown around.

My handsome boys. Zach's the one who requested that he and Caleb matched.

Zach got some royal treatment.
