Please send me feedback, comments and requests through Instagram: https://instagram.com/leleandmonkey.  You can also message through facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/watch/leleandmonkey/ And as usual, if you like this episode, give us review and share us with your friends! :)  Talk to you soon!  ===== A few weeks ago we went on a staycation. We got to stay in a hotel, eat lots of good food, do some shopping and visit a local farm. zhái dù jià 宅度假 zhù zài nǎ lǐ? 住在哪裡? jiǔ diàn 酒店 Lele usually sleeps in a Kidco Peapod tent when we stay in hotels. He has a really hard time falling asleep when he’s in our bed and we’ve found that putting him in a tent has been a good solution for all of us. zhàng péng 帳篷 We went to a local farm. There were a few different animals but the only ones we visited were the Alpacas.  wǒ men qù nǎ lǐ wán? 我們去哪裡玩? nóngchǎng 農場 yáng tuó  羊駝  yáng 羊 These Alpacas were so cute and furry but they were so aggressive! One even kicked me because I was passing out the food too slowly. I’ll post a video of it on my IG. We also rode these beautiful Swan shaped peddle boats. It was one of the few times Lele has been on a boat. He still doesn’t know how to swim or float yet so I’m pretty nervous whenever we are around bodies of water. zuò chuán 坐船 jiù shēng yī 救生衣   Lele and Daddy found a LONG slide and rode it several times. It was so fun! Watch the video on our IG.  liū huá tī 溜滑梯   My favorite part of vacations? Buying souvenirs!! Lele and Mommy both wanted stuffed alpacas so we got a blue one that Lele liked. He named it Paco (sounds like Alpaca). jì niàn pǐn 記念品 wán ǒu 玩偶   We had a great time sharing about our staycation with you guys! Thanks for listening and looking forward to chatting again soon! Talk to you next time!
