Run Baby Run

Nevermind all that zoom zoom zoom, and 0-60 crap you hear about on TV. You ever seen a toddler that's just learned to walk?

Sow's mom, brother, his wife and their daughter all came to visit yesterday. Sow mom is still here, but her niece was a bit more trouble than they'd expected so the others went back last night. Maybe it was her third time dancing on the table at lunch, or possibly climbing over the people at the table next to us. She's about a year and a half and recently learned to run. In this case thru the mall, house, street, dirt... Shoes or not, that kid can truck.

So, yes, they left, but not before taking them around Chiang Mai a little. Since they were short on time we took her to the park to feed the catfish as a runner up to seeing the zoo. These catfish are huge. About 3-4 feet long. They just come up and suck down whatever happens to be floating on the surface.

Usually there are a lot more perch biting at the kibble. Of course, the kibble wasn't making it very far from the edge. Better than in her mouth. Her other little character trait was with eating everything in sight. Well, sampling everything in sight. Every time I'd turn around she'd have a different piece of fruit, bread or random edible in hand. She'd nibble a bit, tire of it, offer it to you, set it down somewhere, then off to see what else was around.

It didn't seem like all that much trouble to me, but then she did tire out 5 adults in a matter of a few hours. Ray was gonna be sleeping either way, but I'll give her credit.
