Elephant Nature Park= Awesome

We stayed at the Elephant Nature Park outside of Chiang Mai for a few days.  It was a great experience because we got to help take care of these elephants who were recovering from abuse from their previous owners.  http://www.ElephantNatureFoundation.org/go/park


 It was fun to interact with these huge animals.

We got to feed the elephants a few times a day.  The things that they can do with their trunks are really impressive.
The elephants' food supply was endless.  They ate squash, cucumber,  watermelon, and banana mostly.  Their favorite was banana.

We helped bathe the elephants in the river.  They seemed to love playing in the water.  We saw them frolicking and rolling around in it a few times.

I got caught by surprise when this one tried to kiss me.

The elephants must have been happy, because they seemed to be smiling all the time.
