To the ZOO

School holidays... we brought the kids along with their cousin, to the zoo. All kids love the zoo.





















Reaching there at 10am, the kids were excited except for Ally... she has never been to the zoo, she has no idea what to expect.
















Isabel watches enough "Dora the Explora" to know how to use a map. With her careful navigation, we entered into the world-class man-made nature, spotting monkeys and monkeys and more monkeys. I think there are more monkeys in there than other animals added together. But one thing I must say... the animals are very well fed and well taken care of. I have a couple of friends working there, very impressed and fasinated with their work. All of them are very dedicated to the animals.

















This is not a family of monkeys. I don't believe we are descendants of our furry friend, I believe we are creatures created by God... anyway, that's another subject we'll discuss another time.


In the zoo, there is a kids playground and a shallow pool next to the restaurant where we had lunch.

















Armed with my new waterproof Olympus camera, I dared into the pool with the children kicking and splashing. The camera is fast and accurate, able to capture the joy of kids playing in the pool.

Ally was sleeping in the wagon.



















































Ally woken up by the sound of the children playing, wanted to join in too. But 30 seconds in the water proved too much for her, she quickly got out and ran to mommy where its nice and warm.

















After the kids are dried and changed, we continued the journey.

See the Zebra? Are they black with white stripes, or white with black stripes?






















Nothing beats a nice cold ice-cream on a hot afternoon. But to the kids, anytime is a good time for ice-cream. I was sharing the ice-cream with Ally when she suddenly need to pass motion. Mommy pulled her along to the toilet, but she refused because she knows that once she comes back from the toilet... her precious ice-cream will be GONE...
















Down to the last stretch of the journey, the kids were tired... so they ALL squeezed into the wagoon. At that point, the wagon was pulling more than 50kg of weight.

We went to almost all the feeding shows and performance in the zoo. By the time we left the place it was already 4pm. The kids were exhausted and were fast asleep in the car.

I'm sure they'll say they had a great time... I know I did.

I'm planning to go to the Bird Park next time... no monkeys there.
