Today Callie and I participated in the Patara Elephant Farm Elephant Owner For A Day. Now I have to admit I had my reservations about taking a three-year-old to go and learn how to bathe, ride and care for an elephant, they have big feet. It turns out she may be small is size, but not in attitude and she made me so proud with how brave, careful and interested she was. Here are some photos of the day. I will be writing more soon about elephants in Northern Thailand and Patara Elephant Farm, but for now, here are some photos of my little girl doing her thing:

The lessons from elephants as told by Khun Pat:
1. Walk like an elephant: be careful where you place your feet. Elephants are in no rush and they look where their feet are going so they can walk up and down very steep hills without misstep.
2. Eat like an elephant: elephants don’t die from heart disease or cancer, they die when their teeth wear out. Eat fruits and vegetables and take care of your body.
4. Live like an elephant: the strong family bonds of elephants run deep and they all care for each other as a family group.

I’ve got the coolest niece in the whole world! Awesome photos too. I think when Callie comes to LA, I’ll have to take her on an Uncle/Niece Celebrity Wrangling Adventure. We’ll see how Callie holds up to those wild creatures.
