Over the year, Aunt Kristel developed an interesting relationship with the girls, who she had never met before. Kris and Tara especially hit it off, coming up with a game where they would race around the house (Tara in Kris' arms) and poked whoever was in their path.
When Kris was ready to head off on a new travelling adventure, I knew it was going to be hard for the girls to understand the disappearance of their well loved Aunt. Kris came up with Marco Polo, a small stuffed mouse to join her on her adventures. Now, through her blog http://marco-polo-too.blogspot.com/ the girls can follow Marco's adventures through China, and take part in Aunt Kristel's life and experiences.
It's also great for Geography as we have already looked up Sichuan Province, and Chendu, and located Aunt Kristel on the world map. Aislinn is also very excited about the Panda pictures, so maybe we will take some time to explore them in greater detail.
Oh, Kris, Aislinn would also like to know what Marco has to eat. ( A picture would be great, but nothing too exotic please ---I'm not so sure about the dog livers thing, even as a carnivore.)

Here I intrude on your blog to answer Aislinn's question on Marco's food! He has decided he doesn't want to eat chicken feet and dog tails with Aunt Kristel, so he is helping me eat all the bananas I ended up with when instead of asking for 6 bananas, I asked for 6 kilos.
